The amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HX) in the Src homology region 3 (SH3) domain of alpha-spectrin has been measured by nuclear magnetic resonance as a function of temperature between 8 and 46 degrees C. The analysis of the temperature dependence of HX from a statistical thermodynamic point of view has allowed us to estimate the enthalpies and entropies of the conformational processes leadi...

I cast 3-D data regularization as a least-squares inversion problem. The model space is a four-dimensional (t , cmpx , cmpy ,hx ) hypercube. An interpolation operator maps to an irregular five dimensional space (t , cmpx , cmpy ,hx ,h y) which is then mapped back into a four dimensional space by applying Azimuth Move-Out (AMO). A regularization term minimizes the difference between various (t ,...

For a topological dynamical system (X, f), consisting of a continuous map f : X → X, and a (not necessarily compact) set Z ⊂ X, Bowen [2] defined a dimension-like version of entropy, hX(f, Z). In the same work, he introduced a notion of entropyconjugacy for pairs of invertible compact systems: the systems (X, f) and (Y, g) are entropy-conjugate if there exist invariant Borel sets X ′ ⊂ X and Y ...

Nanosheet-derived Hx(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ was prepared by restacking (Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ nanosheets with large or small lateral sizes and their electrochemical properties in a 1 M KOH aqueous solution; microstructural factors were compared with those of bulk Hx(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ (HNCM). The electrodes composed of small nanosheets exhibited very large capacitances of 1241 F·g-1 (395 mAh·g-1) at a...

Histiocytosis X (HX) is a rare disease. There are many questions and debates in its etiology, pathology, clinical type and therapy. To enhance the recognition of otolaryngologists in HX of the ear and temporal bone and the level of diagnosis and therapy, 30 years' results of 21 patients with HX of the ear and temporal bone proved by histiopathology were reviewed, 18 patients were cured (85%), 6...

This article introduces various Boolean operators which are used in discussing the properties and stability of a 2's complement circuit. We present the deenitions and related theorems for the following logical operators which include negative input/output: 'and2a', 'or2a', 'xor2a' and 'nand2a', 'nor2a', etc. We formalize the concept of a 2's complement circuit, deene the structures of comple-me...

For the development of new orthodontic elastic material, 1-butanol was added to PEMA-TA/HX resin. In the present study, basic experiments to reveal the mechanical properties of the materials were conducted. FT-IR spectroscopy showed that addition of 1-butanol did not cause any chemical changes to the PEMA-TA/HX resin. After addition of 1-butanol to PEMA-TA/HX resin, the modulus of elasticity, i...

We will need a general fact relating intersection products and the diagonal. The setup is as follows: Let X ρ −→ S be a (locally trivial) fiber bundle, where X and S are oriented smooth manifolds, and the fibers are compact ndimensional manifolds. (In our application, S will be an approximation space for BG.) Then we have a Gysin map ρ∗ : H X → H S. Assume HX is a free module over HS, and let {...

BACKGROUND Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia is a morbid infection. First-line MSSA therapies (nafcillin, oxacillin, cefazolin) are generally avoided in the 10% of patients reporting penicillin (PCN) allergy, but most of these patients are not truly allergic. We used a decision tree with sensitivity analyses to determine the optimal evaluation and treatment for patie...
