Clay modified carbon paste electrode (CPE-C) its applicability for electroanalysis of N, N’-ethylene-2,2’-bipyridinium (diquat) has been described in the present work. Electrochemical modification was performed by electronic impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the range of -0.6 V to 1.2 V in 0.1 M K2SO4 (pH 3). The voltammetric method behavior of DQ is suggested where an...

With the development of the single antigen beads assay, the role of donor specific alloantibody (DSA) against human leukocyte antigens in kidney transplantation (KT) has been highlighted. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of DQ-DSA detected at renal allograft biopsy. We evaluated 263 KT recipients who underwent allograft biopsy and DSA detection at the same time. Among t...

Recent studies have indicated that companies are increasingly experiencing Data Quality (DQ) related problems as more and more complex data are being collected. In order to address such problems, literature suggests the implementation of a Total Data Quality Management Program (TDQM) that should consist of the following phases: data quality definition, measurement, analysis and improvement. DQ ...

Analysis of sequence variation in the polymorphic second exon of the major histocompatibility complex genes HLA-DQ alpha and -DQ beta has revealed 8 allelic variants at the alpha locus and 13 variants at the beta locus. Correlation of sequence variation with serologic typing suggests that the DQw2, DQw3, and DQ(blank) types are determined by the DQ beta subunit, while the DQw1 specificity is de...

AIM A follow up study of developmental quotient (DQ) at 24 months of toddlers whose diets in early infancy differed in fatty acid composition, and in whom an association between diet and DQ was observed at 4 months. METHODS 81 toddlers were distributed among three groups according to early type of diets standard infant formula (SFo, n = 30); long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) enr...

By combining two dipolar double-quantum (DQ) MAS experiments, a homonuclear DQ-DQ MAS exchange experiment has been designed, which probes the reorientation of dipolar tensors and allows the observation of slow molecular dynamics, in particular the determination of reorientation angles and rates. The dipolar coupling between two distinct spins is used to generate a DQ coherence, and the orientat...

The in vitro antibacterial activity of DQ-2556, a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, was compared with that of ceftazidime and cefotaxime. The activity of DQ-2556 against members of the family Enterobacteriaceae was roughly comparable to that of cefotaxime. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, DQ-2556 was slightly less active than ceftazidime. DQ-2556 was more active than the reference cephalosporins ...

HLA-DQ is strongly associated with genetic predisposition to type 1 diabetes. It is assumed that HLA-DQ molecules exert their effects on the disease via the presentation of peptides from islet autoantigens to CD4(+) T-cells, but little information regarding HLA-DQ-restricted, islet antigen-specific, autoreactive T-cells is available. To investigate the role of HLA-DQ in the immune response to i...

The bivariate big q-Jacobi polynomials are defined by [3] Pn,k(x, y; a, b, c, d; q) := Pn−k(y; a, bcq , dq; q) y(dq/y; q)k Pk (x/y; c, b, d/y; q) (n ≥ 0; k = 0, 1, . . . , n), where q ∈ (0, 1), 0 < aq, bq, cq < 1, d < 0, and Pm(t;α, β, γ; q) are univariate big q-Jacobi polynomials, Pm(t;α, β, γ; q) := 3φ2 ( q−m, αβq, t αq, γq ∣∣∣∣ q; q) (m ≥ 0) (see, e.g., [1, Section 7.3]). We give structure r...

Data Quality (DQ) is a critical issue for effective asset management. DQ problems can result in severe negative consequences for an organisation. Several research studies have indicated that most organizations have DQ problems. This paper aims to explore DQ issues associated with the implementation of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems. The study applies a DQ research framework for Asset...
