BACKGROUND Perchlorate is a common contaminant of drinking water and food. It competes with iodide for uptake into the thyroid, thus interfering with thyroid hormone production. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) set a groundwater preliminary remediation goal (PRG) of 24.5 microg/L to prevent exposure of pregnant women that would affe...

BACKGROUND Infectious intestinal disease (IID) has considerable health impact; there are 2 billion cases worldwide resulting in 1 million deaths and 78.7 million disability-adjusted life years lost. Reported IID incidence rates vary and this is partly because terms such as "diarrheal disease" and "acute infectious gastroenteritis" are used interchangeably. Ontologies provide a method of transpa...

The synthesis of ligand LTH8, based on a thiophene framework containing two bis(aminomethyldiphosphonate) functions in ortho position to the central sulfur atom, is described, together with the characterization of the intermediate compounds. The physico-chemical properties of the ligand were first studied by means of potentiometry and UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometric titrations to determine...

Recent work has identified a novel RSC-nucleosome complex that both strongly phases flanking nucleosomes and presents regulatory sites for ready access. These results challenge several widely held views.

Abstract To suppress the subsynchronous oscillation in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) system with Static VAR Generator (SVG), a feedback linearization control (FLC) method for rotor-side converter (RSC) is proposed, and its effect under small disturbances analyzed verified. Firstly, 22-order time-domain model of DFIG SVG established. Secondly, combined principle linearization, correspond...

This thesis examines the contribution of the Superior Colliculus (SC) to the generation of coordinated gaze-reach movements. To this end, neuronal activity was recorded in the SC of behaving monkeys during the performance of several cognitive and reflexive tasks involving the generation of gaze and reach movements. Such tasks were known to influence saccadic reaction times in both humans and mo...
