The TGF-beta member myostatin acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. The Compact mice were selected for high protein content and hypermuscularity, and carry a naturally occurring 12-bp deletion in the propeptide region of the myostatin precursor. We aimed to investigate the cellular characteristics and the glycogen distribution of the Compact tibialis anterior (TA) muscle by quan...

Abstract: Fragility is a concept that is often correlated with glass formability. It is generally defined in terms of dynamical aspects of the liquid, usually based on the rate of increase of the viscosity as a function of the inverse temperature scaled to the glass transition temperature, Tg (i.e. Tg/T). Our experimental studies of the temperature dependence of the liquid structure factor, S(q...

The general problem of answering top-k queries can be modeled using lists of objects sorted by their local scores. Fagin et al. proposed the “middleware cost” for a top-k query algorithm, and proposed the efficient sequential Threshold Algorithm (TA). However, since the size of the dataset can be incredible huge, the middleware cost of sequential TA may be intolerable. So, in this paper, we pro...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid on blood loss and surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). DESIGN Randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. SETTING Operating room and postoperative recovery area of a university-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS 84 consecutive, adult, ASA physical status 1 and 2 patients undergoi...

Diamond is a material that offers potential in numerous device applications. In particular, highly boron doped diamond attractive due to its superconductivity and high Young’s Modulus. The fabrication of stable, low resistance, ohmic contacts essential ensure proper function. Previous work has established the efficacy several methods forming suitable at room temperature above, including carbide...

In Multiple Input Multiple Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing system using beamforming improve the receive Signal to Noise Ratio. In the transmission signals after beam forming the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is a major issue in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing systems, High Peak to Average Power Ratio is complicated to design the power amplifier and also increas...
