Abstract Purpose We sought to identify plant traits important for initial establishment of a globally invasive shrub, Prosopis spp. (mesquite), by quantifying morphological and ecophysiological responses seedlings contrasting moisture regimes. Our model was velutina , prominent invader North American semi-desert grasslands. Methods Seedlings received one three watering levels corresponding regi...

Background and Aim: Considering the increasing use of antibiotics in root canal therapy and the possible effects of intracanal medicaments on the bond strength of composite restorations, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) on shear bond strength of three types of composite resins to dentin. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro, experimental st...

Transversus abdominal plane (TAP) block has a long history and there is currently extensive clinical experience around TAP blocks. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of the present evidence on the effects of TAP block and to provide suggestions for further studies. There are several approaches to performing abdominal wall blocks, with the rapid implementation of ultrasound-guided te...

We used an artificial neural network (ANN) computer model to study peptide binding to the human transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). After validation, an ANN model of TAP-peptide binding was used to mine a database of HLA-binding peptides to elucidate patterns of TAP binding. The affinity of HLA-binding peptides for TAP was found to differ according to the HLA supertype concern...

Signal processing engineers recognize two main classes of filter: finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite (IIR), each with distinct properties. The Prism is a new filter type that combines the best both: numerical stability linear phase FIR together low-cost calculation IIR. Here, we show how to build ultranarrowband filters containing over one billion samples (taps) using sequence Prisms. W...

We show that for low enough temperatures, but still above the AT line, Jacobian of TAP equations SK model has a macroscopic fraction eigenvalues outside unit interval. This provides simple explanation numerical instability fixed points, which thus occurs already in high temperature. The insight leads to some algorithmic considerations on temperature regime.
