It has unambiguously been shown that genetic, environmental, demographic, and technical factors may have substantial effects on gene expression levels. In addition to the measured variable(s) of interest, there will tend to be sources of signal due to factors that are unknown, unmeasured, or too complicated to capture through simple models. We show that failing to incorporate these sources of h...

ness should be run to maximize the return on shareholders’ investment, and shareholder value analysis (SVA) is fast becoming a new standard for judging managerial action. In this changing scenario, in which short-term accounting profits are giving way to SVA, it is advisable that all investments made by managers be viewed in the context of shareholder returns. Thus, every investment, be it in t...

PATIENT Male, 23 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) Symptoms: Chest pain • low O2 saturation • short of breath MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Cardiology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly. It may be congenital or acquired; a coexisting cardiac lesion might be present. Rupture of the aneurysm, where i...

()estrogens show a variety of effects on the mammalian corpus luteum, depending on the stage of the oestrous cycle at which they are administered. This report discusses an investigation of the effect of a single injection of either mg oestradiol benzoate or 5mg oestradiol valerate, at all stages of the cycle in the cyclic cow. The concentration of plasma progesterone in daily peripheral blood s...

UNLABELLED SummaryWe present quite a rare case of extracardiac unruptured right sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) complicated with atherothrombosis in a young adult man. A 35-year-old male with a giant unruptured SVA arising from the right coronary sinus (RCS) with extracardiac protrusion was diagnosed by echocardiography. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a huge calcified aneu...

Glycoluril derivatives with a carboxylic acid side chain have been synthesized and shown to bind to both avidin and streptavidin. Introduction of a valerate side chain in glycoluril led to an increased binding to both proteins only when the valerate group was bound to a N atom and with the proper stereochemistry [(+)-enantiomer]. On the other hand, introduction of the valerate side chain either...

cardiac anomaly (1). SVA most commonly originates in the right coronary sinus of Valsalva (75-90%), the noncoronary sinus (10-25%), and rarely, in the left sinus (1, 2). Unruptured SVA usually remains asymptomatic, but it can sometimes cause cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, or systemic embolic events (1-3). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a useful modality for examining the ...

The Super-SVA algorithm has been shown effective for improving the resolution of microwave synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) In this paper we review the Super-SVA algorithm and demonstrate its application to optical imaging systems using coherent laser illumination. Examples of such imaging systems include heterodyne-array imaging, holographic laser radar, laser syntheticaperture radar, coherent p...

In this paper, we propose a novel post processing method of deconvolution for SAR images by modifying inverse filtering, which improves spatial resolution as well as effectively eliminates sidelobes with low computational complexity. It extends the bandwidth only to control the magnitude of the processed SAR data, not affect the phase unlike the other techniques such as spatially variant apodiz...
