Two fault detection approaches are compared using a Projection Pursuit Regression (PPR) algorithm: ia classification approach where the fault detection PPR model is trained based on the class numbers and iian estimation approach where the PPR model is trained to predict the value of the process variable that define the class boundaries and then the corresponding class is identified by comparing...

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are RNA-binding proteins that are particularly prevalent in terrestrial plants. Although the PPR protein family was only recognized eight years ago, it is already clear that these proteins have a range of essential functions in post-transcriptional processes (including RNA editing, RNA splicing, RNA cleavage and translation) within mitochondria and chloro...

Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRI) are used for the treatment of advanced colorectal, head and neck, pancreatic, and non-small cell lung cancers. Although EGFRI have a much better tolerability profile compared with conventional cytotoxic drugs, they are associated with significant skin toxicity. The most frequent dermatologic side effect is the papulo-pustular rash (PPR). It of...

INTRODUCTION In plastids and mitochondria of plants, RNA editing changes numerous cytidines to uridines. The nucleotides to be edited are selected by trans-acting proteins which are structurally characterized as pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins (Kotera et al., 2005; Schmitz-Linneweber and Small, 2008; Takenaka et al., 2013b). The approximately 35 amino acids long elements each attach to ...

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptide (PTHrP) and the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PPR) play an essential role in controlling growth plate development. The aim of the present study was to use the deer antler as a model to determine whether PTHrP and PPR may also have a function in regulating cartilage and bone regeneration in an adult mammal. Antlers are the only mammalian appendages that are able t...

In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) the 466 pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are putative RNA-binding proteins with essential roles in organelles. Roughly half of the PPR proteins form the plant combinatorial and modular protein (PCMP) subfamily, which is land-plant specific. PCMPs exhibit a large and variable tandem repeat of a standard pattern of three PPR variant motifs. The associa...

The protocol used for intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) may determine the likelihood of evoking a photoparoxysmal response (PPR). One-hundred and thirty-five electroencephalograms (EEGs) presenting PPRs, from 125 patients were studied in order to identify the most effective stimulation frequency to evoke a PPR and the effects of repetition of IPS on the occurrence of a PPR. Two stimulation ...

Reflex plasticity between pelvic afferent and pudendal efferent nerve fibers was examined in anesthetized rats. Brief high-frequency electric stimulation (300 pulses at 100 Hz) of the pelvic nerve afferent fiber produced a long-lasting potentiation of the pelvic-to-pudendal reflex (PPR). This tetanization-induced potentiation was abolished by a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ant...

infection of specific-pathogen-free pigs by a genotype 4 strain of human hepatitis E virus. To the Editor: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease of sheep and goats caused by peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Morbilli-virus. Illness and death can be high (>90%) when PPR occurs in populations of immunologically naive sh...
