ieniveauworden deze twee soorten gedrag uniform behandeld, als normale el-ementen van de procesalgebra. Hun gedragwordt bepaald door gebruik temaken vanstructural operational semantics (SOS) regels [Plotkin, 1981, 2003]. Verder respecterende regels al de verschillen tussen trajectory prefixes en action prefixes, gebaseerd oponze intuïtie over hoe dergelijke processen zich zouden...

Very little attention has been given to the combined effects of aging and disuse as separate factors causing deterioration in muscle mechanical function. Thus the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 2 wk of immobilization followed by 4 wk of retraining on knee extensor muscle mechanical function (e.g., maximal strength and rapid force capacity) and muscle fiber morphology in...

Oral mucositis (OM) is among the most undesirable, painful, and expensive toxicities of cytotoxic cancer therapy, and is disheartening for patients and frustrating for caregivers. Accurate assessment of the incidence of OM has been elusive, but accumulating data suggests that reported OM frequency is significantly less than its actual occurrence. It has been suggested that over 90% of head and ...

Oncostatin M (OM) is a cytokine that shares a structural and functional relationship with interleukin 6, leukemia-inhibitory factor, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. In this report, we tested for correlations between immediate-early gene expression and some of the cellular responses elicited by OM. We determined that OM stimulated a rapid and transient elevation of EGR-1, c-jun, and c...

Gram-negative bacteria have two lipid membranes separated by a periplasmic space containing peptidoglycan. The surface bilayer, or outer membrane (OM), provides a barrier to toxic molecules, including host cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). The OM comprises an outer leaflet of lipid A, the bioactive component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and an inner leaflet of glycerophospholipids (GPLs)...

Infection and transmission of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-Mtb) and extensively drug-resistant M. tuberculosis (XDR-Mtb) is a serious health problem. We analyzed a total of 1,110 Mtb isolates in Osaka Prefecture and neighboring areas from April 2000 to March 2009. A total of 89 MDR-Mtb were identified, 36 (48.5%) of which were determined to be XDR-Mtb. Among the 89 MDR-Mt...

UNLABELLED Otitis media (OM) is considered a potentially severe disease due to the risk of complications. OBJECTIVE To establish the annual incidence of intratemporal complications (ITC) resulting from OM and to prospectively assess patients for epidemiological and clinical factors. METHOD This prospective cohort study included patients admitted during one year at a university hospital diag...

We tested a new portable metabolic system, the Jaeger Oxycon Mobile (OM) at a range of running speeds. Six subjects carried out, in random order, two incremental tests on a treadmill, one of them using the OM, and the other using the Jaeger Oxycon Pro (OP). There are systematic errors in the measurements of oxygen consumption (VO2) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) with the OM. Production of...

Organized mesoporous TiO₂ Bragg stacks (om-TiO₂ BS) consisting of alternating high and low refractive index organized mesoporous TiO₂ (om-TiO₂) films were prepared to enhance dye loading, light harvesting, electron transport, and electrolyte pore-infiltration in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The om-TiO₂ films were synthesized via a sol-gel reaction using amphiphilic graft copolymers consi...

BACKGROUND Although measures of psychopathology are designed for use in clinical populations, their meaning derives from comparison with normal populations. AIMS To compare the distribution of scores on the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) from a general population sample with the distribution in an aggregated clinical sample to derive recommended cut-off poin...
