OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to evaluate changes in obstruction site in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients according to sleep position. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Eighty-five patients who had undergone level 1 sleep study and drug-induced sleep endoscopy in the supine and lateral positions were included. Obstruction sites were classified as soft palate (SP),...

Extreme UV Lithography (EUVL) is generally accepted as the leading candidate for next generation lithography. Several challenges remain for EUVL, especially as its insertion point is pushed to finer resolution. Although diffractive scaling may suggest a transition to shorter EUVL wavelengths, several issues arise that would make that difficult. Challenges involve issues such as flare, multilaye...

The Rh blood group system is one of the most polymorphic and immunogenic systems known in humans. In the past decade, intense investigation has yielded considerable knowledge of the molecular background of this system. The genes encoding 2 distinct Rh proteins that carry C or c together with either E or e antigens, and the D antigen, have been cloned, and the molecular bases of many of the anti...

LW 1200. How Lawyers Think: An Introduction to American Legal Thought. 4 Hours. Introduces students to legal analysis by exploring the history of American legal thought. Perhaps more than any other, American society is governed by lawyers. Explores how innovations in legal theory both emerged from and helped shape policy responses to some of America’s biggest governance challenges, including ec...

this study has been carried out to investigate the effect of short-term divergent selection for 4-wk body weight on growth curve parameters and carcass components in japanese quail. quail lines utilized were two divergently selected for high (hw) and low (lw) 4-wk body weight (bw) as well as a line as control (c). the results of the study indicated that quails in hw line had heavier bw than tho...

the japanese quail has been utilized as a research species in establishing the genetic relationships that may also be present in other species. divergent phenotypic selection for 4-wk bw was conducted for three generations in high (hw) and low (lw) lines. within each line, 50 females and 25 males were selected among 600 birds, based on 4-wk bw. mean bw at 4 wk of age in the base generation was ...
