The distribution of glutamate-like immunoreactivity (Glu-LI) in the thalamic ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) of cats was studied with the EM immunogold technique in order to identify nerve terminal populations that may use glutamate as a neurotransmitter. The investigation was focused on cervicothalamic tract (CTT) terminals, which were labeled by WGA-HRP transported anterogradely from inj...

Previous observations showed that complexes of glucose-regulated protein94 (Grp94) with human IgG, both those isolated from plasma of diabetic subjects and complexes formed in vitro, displayed cytokine-like effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), including angiogenic-like transformation capacity that predicted an increased risk of vascular damage. The aim of the present work...

The association of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene variants with the pathogenesis of T2D, gestational diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was examined. The study involved 1460 individuals: 347 T2D patients (D); 261 gestational diabetics (G); 147 offspring of T2D (O); 329 women with PCOS, and 376 controls (C). The SNPs: rs7901695; rs7903146; rs12255372 in the TCF7L2 gene we...

With the development of mobility technology, location information has become collectible by various positioning technologies. Different positioning technologies have their advantages and limitations. In this paper, we propose semi-supervised learning in inferring low-accuracy location data density from high-accuracy location data density. We focus on the enormous amount of low-accuracy Cell Tow...

BACKGROUND Constipation is a common problem in childhood, and various radiologic methods have been advocated for investigation. Colonic transit time (CTT) has been used in adults to investigate colonic motility, but few studies evaluate this method in children. Data on CTT in the normal paediatric population are scarce. METHODS The colonic transit time was measured in 22 healthy children (med...

In this paper, we make a substantial step towards an encoding of Cubical Type Theory (CTT) in the Dedukti logical framework. Type-checking CTT expressions features decision procedure de Morgan algebra that so far could not be expressed by rewrite rules Dedukti. As alternative, 2 Layer Theories are variants Martin-L\"of where all or part definitional equality can represented terms so-called exte...

Course Timetabling (CTT) [11] is a popular combinatorial optimization problem, which deals with generating university timetables by scheduling weekly lectures, subject to conflicts and availability constraints, while minimizing costs related to resources and user discomfort. In CB-CTT, students enrol to curricula i.e., (possibly overlapping) collections of courses. Lectures of courses pertainin...

The paper proposes a new method of linear text segmentation based on lexical cohesion of a text. Namely, first a single chain of disambiguated words in a text is established, then the rips of this single chain are considered as boundaries for the segments of the cohesion text structure (Cohesion TextTiling or CTT). The summaries of arbitrarily length are obtained by extraction using three diffe...

Objective: To replicate and extend findings from a previous controlled trial of Cognitive Trauma Therapy for Battered Women (CTT-BW; Kubany et al., 2004), the current study presents data on the treatment of 8 women with PTSD related to intimate partner violence (IPV). Method: CTT-BW was administered weekly, using the manual provided by Kubany and a multiple baseline across participants design. ...
