BACKGROUND Mass-forming focal pancreatitis (FP) may mimic pancreatic cancer (PC) on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the preoperative differential diagnosis is often difficult. Recently, the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer has been reported in several studies. PURPOSE To investigate if apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements b...

The proportion congruent effect is the observation that congruency effects are smaller when the proportion of incongruent stimuli is higher. The conflict adaptation account argues that this effect is due to a shift of attention away from the source of conflict. In contrast, the contingency account proposes that participants learn to predict the likely response on the basis of the distracter, an...

Cognitive control is by now a large umbrella term referring collectively to multiple processes that plan and coordinate actions to meet task goals. A common feature of paradigms that engage cognitive control is the task requirement to select relevant information despite a habitual tendency (or bias) to select goal-irrelevant information. At least since the 1970s, researchers have employed propo...

Some values associated with 1 AEDF in Table 1 were incorrect. The correct data are as follows: The proportion beside 1.9% should be 1/53.

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC; EC 6.4.1.1) is critical in gluconeogenesis from lactate and maintenance of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. Whereas increases in PC mRNA have been observed during feed restriction, the mechanism of regulation is unknown; however, coinciding increases in circulating NEFA concentrations suggests that fatty acids may contribute to regulation of gene expression duri...

Abstract Magnesium silicate hydrate (M–S–H) formed on reaction of MgO and reactive SiO 2 imparts binding characteristics similar to Portland cement (PC). Limited knowledge is available the long-term mechanical durability performance M–S–H binder systems. In this study, MgO–SiO was assessed up 365 days. addition silica fume (SF), most widely used source with MgO, calcined clay (CC) kaolinite con...

Twenty vegetable amaranth (VA) genotypes were evaluated to assess the variability, associations, path coefficient, and principal component analysis (PCA) of morpho-chemical traits. The exhibited adequate antioxidant colorants, phytochemicals, antiradical capacity with significant variations across genotypes. Genetic parameters revealed selection criteria for majority traits improving foliage yi...
