Interleukin (IL)-2 promotes regulatory T-cell development and function, and treatment with IL-2 is being tested as therapy for some autoimmune diseases. However, patients receiving IL-2 treatment also experience eosinophilia due to an unknown mechanism. Here, we show that patients receiving low-dose IL-2 have elevated levels of serum IL-5, and this correlates with their degree of eosinophilia. ...

This study aims to develop two alternate forms for Malay version of Auditory Verbal Learning Test (MAVLT) and to determine their equivalency and practice effect. Ninety healthy volunteers were subjected to the following neuropsychological tests at baseline, and at one month interval according to their assigned group; group 1 (MAVLT - MAVLT), group 2 (MAVLT - Alternate Form 1 - Alternate Form 1)...

Due to the recent proliferation of digital broadcasting, various schemes for broadcasting continuous media data have been studied. In general broadcasting systems, since data is broadcast repetitively, clients have to wait until their desired data is broadcast. These schemes reduce this waiting time by dividing the data into several segments of equal size. However, data often have appropriate d...

The title compound, C(6)H(11)NO(3)S, crystallizes utilizing a three-dimensional set of O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The 1,3-oxazolidin-2-one ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom bearing the hy-droxy-methyl group as the flap.

Acknowledgments I am grateful to Prof. Nur Touba for his guidance, encouragement and help at each and every step of my research. While working with him I have always admired his clarity in thought and exposition and hope to achieve the same high standards that he has set for himself. It has been a great experience working with him.

Two experiments were conducted in order to determine the patterns of transfer of visuomotor adaptation between arm and head pointing. An altered gain of display of pointing movements was used to induce a conflict between visual and somatosensory representations. Two subject groups participated in Experiment 1: group 1 adapted shoulder pointing movements, and group 2 adapted wrist pointing movem...
