A crude supernatant of hybridoma secreting a monoclonal anti-double-stranded (ds)DNA antibody (PME77 mAb), used to stain fibroblasts (CVI cells) in immunofluorescence, gives a punctuated staining of variable intensity. We had suggested that anti-DNA antibodies bind to cell-surface protein(s) of several cells. When the mAb of this crude supernatant was purified on a dsDNA-cellulose column and a ...

We report an apparent detection of the CVI 4p to 1s transition line at 459 eV, during a long-term enhancement (LTE) in the Suzaku north ecliptic pole (NEP) observation of 2005 September 2. The observed intensity of the line is comparable to that of the CVI 2p to 1s line at 367 eV. This is strong evidence for the charge-exchange process. In addition to the CVI lines, emission lines from OVII, OV...

PURPOSE In this article, the authors describe the development and content validation of a parent-report measure of problematic eating behaviors: the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (Pedi-EAT). METHOD In Phase I, items were generated from parents' descriptions of problematic feeding behaviors of children, review of literature, and review of existing eating-related instruments. In Phase II, in...

Clustering is a core problem in data mining and machine learning. It has innumerable applications in many fields. Recently, using the evolutionary algorithms for the clustering problem has become more and more popular. In this paper, we propose an automatic clustering differential evolution (DE) technique for the clustering problem. Our approach can be characterized by (i) proposing a modified ...

We have analyzed the flowering behavior of two Arabidopsis ecotypes: the laboratory strain Landsberg erecta (Ler) and an ecotype from the tropical Cape Verde Islands (Cvi). They differ little in their flowering phenotypes and in their responses to photoperiod length changes and to vernalization treatment. However, segregating populations derived from crosses between them showed a much larger va...

The Arabidopsis CBF cold response pathway has a central role in cold acclimation, the process whereby plants increase in freezing tolerance in response to low nonfreezing temperatures. Here we examined the changes that occur in the Arabidopsis metabolome in response to low temperature and assessed the role of the CBF cold response pathway in bringing about these modifications. Of 434 metabolite...

PURPOSE This study was designed to adapt a surgical wound care algorithm that is used to provide evidence-based surgical wound care in a critical care unit. METHODS This study used, the 'ADAPTE process', an international clinical practice guideline development method. The 'Bonnie Sue wound care algorithm' was used as a draft for the new algorithm. A content validity index (CVI) targeting 135 ...

Reading skills are basic needed by students as early primary school. However, there still who able to read but do not understand the reading material read. Therefore, a teaching module through foreign language approach was develop help teachers implement and learning especially in aspect of comprehension. This study aims look at aspects content validity modules that had been index (CVI) frequen...

Kenaikan muka air laut merupakan salah satu penyebab permasalahan penting yang memberikan dampak negatif terhadap kehidupan sosial ekonomi pesisir juga ekosistem pesisir. Selain kenaikan permukaan laut, terdapat pula parameter membentuk kerentanan meliputi geomorfologi pantai, elevasi daratan di sekitar pesisir, perubahan garis pasang surut dan tinggi gelombang. Dihimpun dari berita linimasa, S...

It is widely recognised that children with Down syndrome have a broad range and high prevalence of visual deficits it has been suggested those are more likely to exhibit perception indicative cerebral impairment. This exploratory study aims determine the behavioural features suggestive impairment (CVI) occurring whether problems can be ascribed optometric factors. A cohort 226 families (trisomy...
