Our objective was to determine whether dietary plant proteins such as soya-protein isolate (SPI) and rice-protein isolate (RPI) compared with animal proteins, such as casein, could afford beneficial effects on atherosclerosis development in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. In experiment 1, male and female mice were fed on a purified diet containing either casein, SPI or RPI for 9 weeks. The en ...

Commercial camera traps are usually triggered by a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) motion sensor necessitating delay between triggering and the image being captured. This often seriously limits ability to record images of small fast moving animals. It also results in many “empty” images, e.g., owing foliage against background different temperature. In this paper we detail new mechanism based solely on ...

Abstract This paper applies the common stochastic trends representation approach to time series of total factor productivity (TFP) and relative price investment (RPI) investigate modeling neutral technology (NT) investment-specific (IST) its econometric ramifications on analysis general equilibrium model. The permanent transitory movements in both are estimated efficiently via Markov chain Mont...

This year the RPI-BLENDER team participated in the following four tasks: English Entity Linking, Regular Slot Filling, Temporal Slot Filling and Slot Filling Validation. The major improvement was made for Regular Slot Filling and Slot Filling validation. We developed a fresh system for both tasks. Our approach embraces detailed linguistic analysis and knowledge discovery, and advanced knowledge...

Religion has often been thought to play a part in the genesis of some cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this study, we explored the relationship between religiosity, religious obsessions, and other clinical characteristics of OCD. Forty-five outpatients with OCD were evaluated with the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Checklis...

BACKGROUND Two major ways of macrophage (MΦ) activation can occur in radiation-induced pulmonary injury (RPI): classical and alternative MΦ activation, which play important roles in the pathogenesis of RPI. MΦ can produce chemokine MΦ inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), while MIP-1α can recruit MΦ. The difference in the chemotactic ability of MIP-1α toward distinct activated MΦ is unclear. We spe...
