Protection of both grey and white matter is important for improvement in stroke outcome. In the present study the ability of a competitive alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) antagonist to protect axons, oligodendrocytes, and neuronal perikarya, was examined in a rodent model of transient focal cerebral ischemia. SPD 502 (8-methyl-5-(4-( -dimethylsulfamoyl)phenyl)-6...

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE), which affects 1 in 400 and has an estimated carrier frequency of 1 in 10 individuals in Western population, results in multiple organ damage caused by iron deposition, and is treatable if detected early. C282Y mutation in HFE gene has been known to be responsible for the most hereditary hemochromatosis cases and 5-10% of white subjects are heterozygous for this...

WebIQ uses a three-fold, query-based approach to the problem: First, it discovers data instances from the “Surface Web” (the part of the World Wide Web that can be accessed using regular search engines such as Google). This is done by formulating extraction queries, posing them to a search engine, extracting data instances from the results, and then validating them. Second, it borrows already e...

In this report, papers most relevant to this thesis are classified into three categories. The first category is methodology and tools (Section 2), which includes papers on various analysis tools and best practices for Internet measurement studies [12, 13, 15]. The second category is packet loss (Section 3), which contains papers on analysis of packet loss as well as papers on loss inference tec...

Interleukin 1 (IL-1), l a polypeptide hormone produced by activated macrophages, has been reported to mediate an apparently diverse range of biological activities (1-3). These include lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF) (4), endogenous or leukocyte pyrogenic activity (5), epidermal cell thymocyte-activating factor (6), bone resorption factor (7, 8), and fibroblast growth factor (9). In general, ...

One of the most prevalent base modifications involved in decoding is uridine 5-oxyacetic acid at the wobble position of tRNA. It has been known for several decades that this modification enables a single tRNA to decode all four codons in a degenerate codon box. We have determined structures of an anticodon stem-loop of tRNAVal containing the modified uridine with all four valine codons in the d...

1 ANSWERS TO EXAMPLE ASSIGNMENT (For illustration only) In the following answer to the Example Assignment, it should be emphasized that often there may be no “right” answer to a given question. Data are usually subject to more than one interpretation. The important point to keep in mind is that you should always try to make a convincing argument for your conclusions. Note also that the followin...
