Ampelozizyphus amazonicus is used in the treatment and prevention of malaria. The effect of an aqueous extract from this plant (SART) on the immune response was investigated by measuring immunoglobulin production induced by immunization with the antigen TNP-Ficoll in Plasmodium chabaudi-infected mice. SART treatment increased antigen-specific IgM and IgG levels in TNP-Ficoll-immunized mice. The...

Advances in computed tomography and availability of high performance computing in the last decade have shown importance of iterative reconstruction in combination with statistical methods. An attempt is made to compare two existing iterative methods used for reconstruction namely ART and SART. The results show that ART is a highly computational intensive and time taking process compared to SART...

Context: This paper presents the similarity approach for regression testing (SART), where a similarity-based test case selection technique is used in a model-based testing process to provide selection of test cases exercising modified parts of a specification model. Unlike other model-based regression testing techniques, SART relies on similarity analysis among test cases to identify modificati...

The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) is a widely used tool in cognitive neuroscience increasingly employed to identify brain regions associated with failures of sustained attention. An important claim of the SART is that it is significantly related to real-world problems of sustained attention such as those experienced by TBI and ADHD patients. This claim is largely based on its asso...

UNLABELLED The biological function of the SART-1 gene product is demonstrated and its potential as a target for cancer gene therapy is discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SART-1 gene was transduced by a recombinant adenovirus vector and its expression was promoted by a CMV promoter. RESULTS The transduction efficiency by recombinant adenoviruses in A549 and MCF-7 cells was determined using...

Numerous studies focused on elucidating the correlates, causes, and consequences of inattention/attention-lapses employ the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), a GO-NOGO task with infrequent withholds. Although the SART has become popular among inattention researchers, recent work has demonstrated its susceptibility to speed-accuracy trade-offs (SATOs), rendering its assessment of inat...

Compared to analytical reconstruction by Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK), simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) offers a higher degree of flexibility in input measurements and often produces superior quality images. Due to the iterative nature of the algorithm, however, SART requires intense computations which have prevented its use in clinical practice. In this paper, we developed ...

The Simpliied Adaptive Resonance Theory (SART) class of networks is proposed to handle problems encountered in Adaptive Resonance Theory 1 (ART 1)-based algorithms when detection of binary and analog patterns is performed. The basic idea of SART is to substitute ART 1-based \unidirectional" (asymmetric) activation and match functions with \bidirectional" (symmetric) function pairs. This substit...

A brief self-report scale was developed to assess everyday performance failures arising directly or primarily from brief failures of sustained attention (attention-related cognitive errors-ARCES). The ARCES was found to be associated with a more direct measure of propensity to attention lapses (Mindful Attention Awareness Scale--MAAS) and to errors on an existing behavioral measure of sustained...
