together with the results of the low ferritin patients of the previously mentioned anemic cohort (five men and eight women). In the group with ferritin values below the reference interval (,25 mg/L), 5 out of 11 men had CDTect values $20 units/L and 8 out of 18 women had CDTect values $26 units/L. Therefore, a disproportionate number of high CDTect values were observed in anemic and nonanemic p...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of infectious diseases, such as syphilis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hepatitis B and C, in pregnant women who undertook their prenatal care in thirteen basic health units (BHU) in São Paulo city. The efficiency of the reference and counter-reference system in such prenatal infectious diseases was evaluated consideri...

In the previous chapter, to get high data rate transmission, High Throughput techniques were analyzed for OFDM-MIMO System. OFDMMIMO systems based on OFDM symbols suffer from the problem of inherent Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The peak power of a multi carrier OFDM signal is a critical design factor for band limited communication systems, and it is necessary to reduce it as much as poss...

A new concept for a high-speed data decision with a feedback loop for cancellation of intersymbol interferences (ISI) is proposed. Operation up to over 20 Gbit/s has been measured. The improved speed performance has been obtained by a new concept merging the parallel principle and a twin DC references approach.

MOTIVATION When targeted to a barcoding region, high-throughput sequencing can be used to identify species or operational taxonomical units from environmental samples, and thus to study the diversity and structure of species communities. Although there are many methods which provide confidence scores for assigning taxonomic affiliations, it is not straightforward to translate these values to un...

We present the first spectropolarimetric observations of a candidate of super-Chandrasekhar mass Type Ia supernova (SN): SN 2009dc. The observations were performed at 5.6 and 89.5 days after the B-band maximum. The data taken at the later epoch are used to determine the interstellar polarization. Continuum polarization is found to be small (< 0.3%), indicating that the explosion is nearly spher...

ODB (Operon DataBase) aims to collect data of all known and conserved operons in completely sequenced genomes. Three newly updated features of this database have been added as follows: (i) Data from included operons were updated. The genome-wide analysis of transcription and transcriptional units has become popular recently and ODB successfully integrates these high-throughput operon data, incl...
