Forty-one rice cDNAs encoding protein kinases were fused to the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag and expressed in transgenic rice plants. The TAP-tagged kinases and interacting proteins were purified from the T1 progeny of the transgenic rice plants and identified by mass spectrometry. Ninety-five percent of the TAP-tagged kinases were recovered. Fifty-six percent of the TAP-tagged kinase...

OBJECTIVE Research is limited on whether mistrust of tap water discourages plain water intake and leads to a greater intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB). The objective of the present study was to examine demographic differences in perceptions of tap water safety and determine if these perceptions are associated with intake of SSB and plain water. DESIGN The study examined perceptions of...

We show the similarity between belief propagation and TAP, for decoding corrupted messages encoded by Sourlas's method. The latter is a special case of the Gallager error-correcting code, where the code word comprises products of J{ bits selected randomly from the original message. We examine the efficacy of solutions obtained by the two methods for various values of J{ and show that solutions ...

We derive Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations for quantum disordered systems. We apply them to the study of the paramagnetic and glassy phases in the quantum version of the spherical p spin-glass model. We generalize several useful quantities (complexity, threshold level, etc.) and various ideas (configurational entropy crisis, etc), that have been developed within the classical TAP approa...

You know the news isn’t going to be good when the report of a new study cites sources in City Hall rather than the scientific literature. That’s exactly how the story broke in February, reporting a link between tap water and miscarriages in a California study. On February 10, the Los Angeles Times warned its readers in a front page report that “drinking five or more glasses of cold tap water pe...

There is growing interest in the application of crossmodal perception to interface design. However, most research has focused on task performance measures and often ignored user experience and engagement. We present an examination of crossmodal congruence in terms of performance and engagement in the context of a memory task of audio, visual, and audio-visual stimuli. Participants in a first st...

Krebsbach Automated Reasoning Group Honeywell Technology Center 3660 Technology Drive Minneapolis, MN 55418 fgoldman,musliner,boddy,[email protected] Introduction In this paper we discuss two abstraction techniques we use in CIRCA planning (Musliner, Durfee, & Shin 199...

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) infiltration is a regional anesthesia technique that has been demonstrated to be effective for management of postsurgical pain after abdominal surgery. There are several different clinical variations in the approaches used for achieving analgesia via TAP infiltration, and methods for identification of the TAP have evolved considerably since the landmark-guided ...
