Virus inactivation by ethyleneimines was first introduced more than 30 years ago. Selective targeting of nucleic acids was reported for oligomeric ethyleneimines. In this study, trimeric ethyleneimine (TEI) was used to inactivate minute virus of mice (MVM; Parvoviridae) and Semliki forest virus (SFV; Togaviridae). The pH-dependency of the inactivation kinetics observed with MVM was different co...

This paper deals with the effects of friction material properties on thermoelastic instability (TEI) and the associated dominant deformation mode. Both analytical and finite element models are constructed for determining the variation of the critical speed and the dominant TEI mode. Some important factors, e.g. the nonconductive friction material as well as the symmetric and anti-symmetric TEI ...

potentially sparing SAM for methyla tion of other substrates such as As. We are currently testing this hypothesis in a randomized controlled trial of creatine supplementation. In addition, as Basu et al. (2011) noted, and as we have previously reported (Gamble and Liu 2005), one implication of the observed association between uCr and As methylation capacity is that urinary As should not be expr...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of adding quantitative assessments of cardiac function from echocardiography to clinical factors in predicting the outcome of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of acute PE, based on a positive ventilation perfusion scan or computed tomography (CT) chest angiogram, were identified using the D...

Der Ansatz der Textauszeichnung (“textual markup”) ist zur semantischen Erschließung von Texten des kulturellen Erbes nahezu alternativlos. Die Stärke von Auszeichnungssprachen, die ihren Gegenstand zugleich als sequentielle, als hierarchische und als netzartige Datenstruktur behandeln, kommt insbesondere den komplexen Wiedergabeund Analyse-Anforderungen an historische Texte entgegen. Lokale An...

Peters' anomaly is characterized by a central corneal opacity with corresponding defects in the posterior stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. We present 2 cases that showed corneal opacity when examined by topical endoscopic imaging (TEI). Case 1 was a 20-day-old neonatal female who had a central corneal opacity in the left eye. TEI showed that the iris stroma was adhered toward the b...

TEI-TERM is a formal for interchanging terminology files in electronic form between various types of computers and terminology management software packages. The “TEI” of TEITERM stands for Text Encoding Initiative[7], which is a major international effort to formally define various document types which are conformant to SGML[3], a widely-accepted international standard for the markup of the str...
