The Service-oriented Router (SoR), a highly functional router based on a novel router architecture, enables unprecedented web services traditional routers were unable to provide. The SoR performs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze Layer 7 information, which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the substantial increase in Internet traffic. Meanwhile, multi-core processors and general-p...

The active site of superoxide reductase SOR consists of an Fe2+ center in an unusual [His4 Cys1] square-pyramidal geometry. It specifically reduces superoxide to produce H2O2. Here, we have reacted the SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii directly with H2O2. We have found that its active site can transiently stabilize an Fe3+-peroxo species that we have spectroscopically characterized by resonance R...

Cell sor ting of biologic specimens by flow cytometry has become a widely used technique in r esear ch and clinical laborator ies. Because viable biologic specimens can contain infectious agents, pr ecautions need to be taken to prevent the exposure of operators of flow cytometers to biohazards ar ising from the use of these instruments. The International Society of Analytical Cytology (ISAC) r...

A mixed effect model describing median overall survival (mOS) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) treated with antiangiogenic therapy (AAT) was developed from literature data. Data were extracted from 59 studies, representing 4,813 patients. The final model included estimates of mOS after AAT (8.5 months) or placebo (7.1 months) administration. The mOS increased 21% when t...

BACKGROUND Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) affects many individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), often leading to stressful encounters during daily routines. METHODS This study describes the associations between early SOR symptoms and the longitudinal course of restrictions in family life activities and parenting stress across three time-points in families raising a child with ASD (n...

Superoxide reductases (SORs) are nonheme iron-containing enzymes that reduce HO(2) to H(2)O(2). Exogenous substrates such as N(3)(-) and CN(-) have been shown to bind to the catalytic iron site of SOR, and cyanide acts as an inhibitor. To understand how these exogenous ligands alter the physical and reactivity properties of the SOR iron site, acetate-, azide-, and cyanide-ligated synthetic mode...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report and compare the anatomic and functional results of primary vitrectomy with and without 360° encircling scleral buckle (SB) for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) due to inferior retinal break(s). BACKGROUND A variety of options, including SB, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without SB, and pneumatic retinopexy have been d...

As the development of the PSOR method (a point parallel SOR method by mesh domain partitioning proposed in [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 20 (1999), pp. 2261–2281], this paper introduces a new mesh domain partition and ordering (the multitype partition and ordering), and proposes a new block parallel SOR (BPSOR) method for numerically solving 2-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) elliptic bounda...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among physiological factors, age, sensory over-responsivity (SOR) and food selectivity in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). METHODS: One hundred forty-one parents of children with ASD were recruited through a national autism organization, Autism Speaks, to fill out a survey regarding their child’s mealtime behavior....
