BACKGROUND People released from prison are at increased risk of death. However, no country has established a system for routine monitoring of mortality in this population. The aims of this study were to (a) evaluate a system for routine monitoring of deaths after release from prison in Australia and (b) estimate the number of deaths annually within 28 and 365 days of prison release from 2000 to...

Dilution-regrowth experiments coupled to fluorescence in situ hybridization were conducted with samples from two humic reservoirs in order to examine how inorganic nutrients (N, P) affect free-living bacterioplankton phylogenetic groups and subsequently the quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The experiments were complemented by analyses of the empirical relationships between the targete...

The authors used a homogeneous calcium dye kit with a cell line transfected using a recombinant protein construct to screen a 50,000 compound library for G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists. Only 1 of the 365 primary hits activated Gq-coupled GPCRs, as shown using IP-ONE HTRF. Furthermore, an agonist screen against the entire compound library and same heterologous cell line using AequoSc...

Broadband UV measurements are evaluated when UV-A irradiance meters measure optical radiation from 365 nm UV sources. The CIE standardized rectangular-shape UV-A function can be realized only with large spectral mismatch errors. The spectral power-distribution of the 365 nm excitation source is not standardized. Accordingly, the readings made with different types of UV meters, even if they meas...

Human organic anion transporter hOAT1 plays a critical role in the body disposition of clinically important drugs. We examined the role of the putative transmembrane segment (TM) 7 in the function of hOAT1. Each residue within putative TM7 was replaced by alanine, and the uptake of para-aminohippurate was studied in cells expressing the mutants. We discovered four critical amino acid residues: ...

We characterized the fluorescence intensity distribution within the epithelia and stroma of frozen human cervical tissues at the following excitation-emission wavelength pairs: 440, 525 nm and 365, 460 nm. The intensities at both excitation-emission wavelength pairs are significantly lower in the epithelia of severely dysplastic tissues, relative to that in normal and inflammatory tissues. Furt...

This paper discusses If multi-agent learning is the answer, what is the question? [Y. Shoham, R. Powers, T. Grenager, If multiagent learning is the answer, what is the question? Artificial Intelligence 171 (7) (2007) 365–377, this issue] from the perspective of evolutionary game theory. We briefly discuss the concepts of evolutionary game theory, and examine the main conclusions from [Y. Shoham...
