FP prostanoid receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate the actions of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)). Alternative mRNA splicing gives rise to two isoforms, FP(A) and FP(B), which are identical except for their intracellular carboxyl termini. In this study, we examined the internalization of recombinant FLAG-epitope-tagged FP(A) and FP(B) receptors that were stably expressed...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of time of first postpartum ovulation after calving on uterine involution in dairy cows with and without uterine puerperal disease. Transvaginal follicular puncture (FP) of follicles >6 mm suppressed ovulation and development of a CL until Day 42 after calving. Fifty-three lactating Holstein Friesian cows (3.4 ± 1.2 years old, parity 2.5...

INTRODUCTION Lack of knowledge of where to obtain correct family planning (FP) information and methods can be a critical barrier to eventual uptake of FP services. We assessed knowledge, sources and use of FP methods among women of reproductive age in rural Uganda. METHODS This secondary analysis uses data from a larger cross-sectional study conducted to measure changes in perceptions towards...

The paper is concerned with distributed learning and optimization in large-scale settings. The wellknown Fictitious Play (FP) algorithm has been shown to achieve Nash equilibrium learning in certain classes of multi-agent games. However, FP can be computationally difficult to implement when the number of players is large. Sampled FP is a variant of FP that mitigates the computational difficulti...

Background Family Planning (FP) program in Pakistan has been struggling to achieve the desired indicators. Despite a well-timed initiation of the program in late 50s, fertility decline has been sparingly slow. As a result, rapid population growth is impeding economic development in the country. A high population growth rate, the current fertility rate, a stagnant contraceptive prevalence rate a...

finding frequent patterns plays a key role in exploring association patterns, correlation, and many other interesting relationships that are applicable in tdb. several association rule mining algorithms such as apriori, fp-growth, and eclat have been proposed in the literature. fp-growth algorithm construct a tree structure from transaction database and recursively traverse this tree to extract...

We investigate the optimal LM treatment of abundant filled pauses (FP) in spontaneous monologues of a professional dictation task. Questions addressed here are (1) how to deal with FP in the LM history and (2) to which extent can the LM distinguish between positions with high and low FP likelihood. Our results differ partly from observations reported on dialogues. Discarding FP from all LM hist...

Female protein (FP) is a pentraxin of Syrian hamster which is a homologue of two human pentraxins, C-reaction protein (CRP) and amyloid P component (AP). Functionally, FP has been shown to be similar to CRP, although FP has more homology at the amino terminus with AP. The present work investigated amyloid in the Syrian hamster to determine whether FP was involved in a manner analogous to AP. FP...
