This paper documents the TIGER 700 RMRS Treebank which has been obtained as the result of a software project. The treebank is a semantic projection from a subset of the TIGER Dependency Bank and was derived automatically, using treebank conversion methods. In a second phase, it will be manually validated and corrections will be made as necessary, supported by an interactive editing tool.

Data on 211 crossbred gilts were utilized to investigate the effects of season of birth, presence or absence of boars and number of gilts per pen on age and weight at puberty. The gilts were allotted to treatments at an average age of 140 days. Gilts born in the fall reached puberty at a younger age and a lower weight (P<.01) than those born in the spring. There also was a higher incidence of "...

BACKGROUND It is estimated that major depression disorders constitute 8.2% of years lived with disability (YLDs) globally. The repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) are two relative common interventions to treat major depressive disorders, especially for treatment resistant depression. In this study the cost- effectiveness and cost-utility of rT...

Background: The quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with poor pulmonary function, respiratory symptoms, incapacity to perform daily activities, as well as mental and cognitive disorders. Although there exists some evidence regarding the effect of socioeconomic status on the quality of life in the general population and those with chronic d...

INTRODUCTION Screening can prevent colorectal cancer from becoming advanced by early detection of precancerous lesions. Cost-effectiveness analysis of colorectal cancer screening methods is highly necessary due to increased prevalence, decreased age at onset and the limited budget in Iran. METHODS Methods of screening currently available in Iran were selected. A systematic search revealed the...

The in vitro activity of TR-700 (torezolid) was evaluated against a collection of 660 staphylococcal blood isolates. TR-700 showed excellent activity against all the staphylococci tested. The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values of TR-700, linezolid, daptomycin, and vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates were 0.25 and 0.5, 2 and 4, 0.5 and 0.5, and 1 and 2 microg/m...

Acute schistosomiasis is characterized by pro-inflammatory responses against tissueor organ-trapped parasite eggs along with granuloma formation. Here, we describe studies in Cx3cr1 mice and demonstrate the role of Cx3cr1 in the pathoetiology of granuloma formation during acute schistosomiasis. Mice deficient in Cx3cr1 were protected from granuloma formation and hepatic injury induced by Schist...
