The opaque-2 mutation in maize (Zea mays) is associated with an increased level of free amino acids (FAA) in the mature endosperm. In particular, there is a high concentration of lysine, the most limiting essential amino acid. To investigate the basis for the high-FAA phenotype of opaque-2 maize, we characterized amino acid accumulation during endosperm development of several wild-type and opaq...

BACKGROUND Frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) has frequently been reported as potential discriminator between depressed and healthy individuals, although contradicting results have been published. The aim of the current study was to provide an up to date meta-analysis on the diagnostic value of FAA in major depressive disorder (MDD) and to further investigate discrepancies in a large cross-sectional...

This paper reports on our work and re sults framing signal processing algorithm op timization as a machine learning task A sin gle signal processing algorithm can be repre sented by many di erent but mathematically equivalent formulas When these formulas are implemented in actual code they have very di erent running times Signal process ing optimization is concerned with nding a formula that im...

Archaeological theories and methods are developed to reconstruct past human behavior from fragmentary material remains. The interrelated discipline of physical anthropology addresses questions related skeletal remains while acknowledging taphonomic parameters. benefit integrating these disciplines in forensic investigations has gained increasing acknowledgement over the last decades, but use ar...

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by a variety of physical anomalies, bone marrow failure, and an increased risk for malignancy. FA cells exhibit chromosomal instability and are hypersensitive to DNA cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C (MMC). FA is a clinically heterogeneous disorder and can be functionally divided into at least five different com...

Amelioration of neuropathic spinal cord injury (SCI) pain is a clinical challenge. Increasing the endocannabinoid anandamide and other fatty acid amides (FAA) by blocking fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) has been shown to be antinociceptive in a number of animal models of chronic pain. However, an antinociceptive effect of blocking FAAH has yet to be demonstrated in a rat model of neuropathic ...

The incidence of motion sickness in a large (N = 3,618) college population was determined by means of a questionnaire. Significantly greater proportions of men than women had low susceptibility scores; significantly greater proportions of women had high susceptibility scores. Comparisons of MSQ scores were made with other selfassessments, age changes, motion experiences, familial susceptibility...

THE STUDY EVALUATED AND COMPARED THE DIFFERENCES OF GLUCOSE RESPONSES, INCREMENTAL AREA UNDER CURVE (IAUC), GLYCEMIC INDEX (GI) AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF GI VALUES BETWEEN MEASURED BY BIOCHEMICAL ANALYZER (FUJI AUTOMATIC BIOCHEMISTRY ANALYZER (FAA)) AND THREE GLUCOSE METERS: Accue Chek Advantage (AGM), BREEZE 2 (BGM), and Optimum Xceed (OGM). Ten healthy subjects were recruited for the study. T...
