Adapting a claim of Kracht (Theor Comput Sci 354:131–141, 2006), we establish a characterization of the typable partial applicative structures.

OBJECTIVE To compare oral misoprostol solution with vaginal prostaglandin gel (dinoprostone) for induction of labour at term to determine whether misoprostol is superior. DESIGN Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial. SETTING Maternity departments in three hospitals in Australia. Population Pregnant women with a singleton cephalic presentation at > or = 36+6 weeks' gestation, with...

The present study aimed to investigate bone microarchitecture of the proximal tibia in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) mice, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of curcumin in DXM-induced osteoporosis were performed. DXM-treated facilitated to induce hypercalciuria in mice, and curcumin-treated showed a decrease in urine calcium. Curcumin reversed DXM-induced bone resorption, inc...

i) Install the un-notched beam (see Fig. 1) in the four-point flexure loading fixture ii) Attach the load pan (Note: The combined pan/fixture mass is ~0.980 kg) iii) Apply two10-kg masses one at a time to the load pan. iv) With the polarizer and analyzer crossed (dark field), focus the camera, and record the image using the thermal printer v) Determine the maximum fringe orders at the top and b...

Crystals of C.I. Disperse Blue 354, a commercial methine disperse dye, were grown from an ethyl acetate and the crystal structure was determined. Results show that two aromatic planes are effectively coplanar with the dihedral angle of 10.61(11) degrees. The dicyanomethylene group is slightly twisted and two n-hexyl groups tend to be separated with one alkyl group being at the level of the arom...

PURPOSE Insufficient sensitivity and specificity prevent the use of most existing biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer. Recently, it was reported that serum microRNAs (miRNAs) may be potential biomarkers in many cancer diseases. In this study, we investigated whether serum levels of 5 miRNAs including miR-21, miR-125b, miR-145, miR-155, and miR-365 could discriminate breast cancer pa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Observational evidence has suggested that RRT modality may affect recovery after AKI. It is unclear whether initial choice of intermittent hemodialysis or continuous RRT affects renal recovery, survival, or development of ESRD in critically ill patients when modality choice is made primarily on hemodynamics. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We performed ...

Recent populations of the red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have been inconsistent or declining, particularly in North Dakota. Consequently, research on weevil biology, including development of resistant germplasm, has been limited. To determine whether cold storage of diapausing larvae could be improved, nonconstant temperature treatments (fluctua...
