We determined the heterogeneous mesoscale spatial apportionment of functional groups in a series of multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOF-5) containing BDC (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) linkers with different functional groups--B (BDC-NH2), E (BDC-NO2), F [(BDC-(CH3)2], H [BDC-(OC3H5)2], and I [BDC-(OC7H7)2]--using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance measurements combined with molecula...

We have introduced a chimeric plasmid, pLTR2TK, containing the mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV) long terminal repeat (LTR) linked to the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase gene into the mouse germ line by microinjection. In one mouse line, the thymidine kinase gene is appropriately expressed in the lactating mammary glands of heterozygous females; expression also occurs in the ovaries ...

We present the Memory Trace Visualizer (MTV), a tool that provides interactive visualization and analysis of the sequence of memory operations performed by a program as it runs. As improvements in processor performance continue to outpace improvements in memory performance, tools to understand memory access patterns are increasingly important for optimizing data intensive programs such as those...

BACKGROUND The role of gastrointestinal function in obesity is unknown. Recent studies have shown that satiety in obese patients is influenced by an abnormal gastric capacity. AIM An easy and non-invasive tool, the water load test (WLT) was used to evaluate gastric capacity and how it relates to body mass index (BMI) in obese patients. METHODS The WLT was performed in 32 patients with high ...

Total Variation (TV) methods, introduced by L. Rudin and S. Osher a few years ago, are very e ective for the recovery of blocky, possibly discontinuous images, from noisy data. Unfortunately they are not so e ective for the recovery of textured regions. To improve this, recently, L. Rudin introduced a novel functional, the Multiscale Total Variation (MTV). The functional is designed so that it ...

Mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV) was isolated from the milk of RIII mice by density-gradient centrifugation in Ficoll. The homogeneity of the preparation was demonstrated in electron micrographs. The nucleic acid was extracted with phenol in the presence of Pronase. Its viral origin was attested by failure of ribo-nuclease and deoxyribonuclease treatment of the virus preparation to destroy the f...

Prior research has found strong evidence of a prospective association between R movie exposure and teen smoking. Using parallel process latent-growth modeling, the present study examines prospective associations between viewing of music video channels on television (e.g., MTV and VH-1) and changes over time in smoking and association with smoking peers. Results showed that baseline viewing of m...

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of two major indices intratumoral heterogeneity 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake by positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT), namely index (HI) and factor (HF), in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis 62 who underwent resective surgery. HI, HF, maximum standardized...
