How effective are candidate, party, and interest group ads at conveying noticeable differences between the Democratic and Republican Parties? Or at boosting preferences for the parties? There are two conflicting expectations; first, that ads from these three sponsors will have the same effect on citizen perceptions, under the assumption that viewers do not notice sponsorship. The second expecta...

The associations between particulate matter from Asian dust storms (ADS) and health disorders differ among studies, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, ADS and non-ADS particles were tested for their potential to induce pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with adverse respiratory effects. Particulate matter was collected in Japan during four periods in 2013 (2 × ADS p...

Adseverin (Ads), a member of the Gelsolin superfamily of actin binding proteins, regulates the actin cytoskeleton architecture by severing and capping existing filamentous actin (F-actin) strands and nucleating the assembly of new F-actin filaments. Ads has been implicated in cellular secretion, exocytosis and has also been shown to regulate chondrogenesis and megakaryoblastic leukemia cell dif...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological investigations indicate that an Asian dust storm (ADS) can aggravate respiratory disorders. However, the effects of ADS on airway inflammation remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of exposure to ADS with airway inflammation. METHODS The subjects were 33 adult patients with asthma who measured daily peak flow expiratory (PEF) from ...

In dogs, intracoronary doses of CV-1674, adenosine ( ADS) and 2-Cl-ADS for doubling coronary flow were estimated as 5.0, 2.0 and 0.4 microgram/dog, and i.v. doses 31, 71 and 2.5 microgram/kg, respectively. ADS and 2-Cl-ADS decreased, while CV-1674 increased LV dp/dt. Intravenous infusion (30 min) of CV-1674 (10 microgram/kg per min) and ADS (700 microgram/kg per min) decreased coronary resistan...

amorpha-4, 11-diene synthase (ads) gene is the first and important gene in artemisinin biosynthesis pathway that why for many researchers, the study of how to regulate of this gene is important. transcription factors can change the expression rate of several genes simultaneously. in this study, six wild accessions of artemisia annua, collected from golestan province, were used. many known trans...

Polyautoimmunity is one of the major clinical characteristics of autoimmune diseases (ADs). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of ADs in spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) and vice versa. This was a two-phase cross-sectional study. First, we examined the presence of ADs in a cohort of patients with SpAs (N = 148). Second, we searched for the presence of SpAs in a well-defined gro...

BACKGROUND Anxiety disorders (ADs) are common with a high rate of medical comorbidities. Although the association between ADs and the overall cancer risk remains controversial, patients with ADs were found to be more likely to develop specific cancer types. Herein, we estimated the risk of developing urological cancers among patients with ADs in a 5-year follow-up period using a population-base...

Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) systems utilize digital technologies, satellite systems, and various levels of automation to facilitate seamless global air traffic management. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), the core component of CNS/ATM, broadcasts important monitoring information, such as the location, altitude, and direction of ai...
