We have examined the effect of hydroxyurea (HU), clotrimazole (CLT), magnesium oxide (Mg), and combined CLT+Mg therapies on the erythrocyte characteristics and their response to chronic hypoxia in a transgenic sickle mouse (SAD) model. SAD mice were treated for 21 days with 1 of the following regimens (administered by gavage): control (n = 6), HU (200 mg/d; n = 6), CLT (80 mg/kg/d, n = 5), Mg (...

BACKGROUND We examine the clinical significance and biomarkers of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-catalyzed clot lysis time (CLT) in patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS Platelet-poor, citrated plasma was obtained from patients with PE. Healthy age- and sex-matched patients served as disease-negative controls. Fibrinogen, α2-antiplasmin, plasminogen, thrombin ac...

It has been reported that papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) is less associated with extrathyroidal extension (ETE), advanced tumor stage and lymph node (LN) metastasis. Other studies have suggested that concurrent CLT could antagonize PTC progression, even in BRAF-positive patients. Since the clinical significance of the BRAF mutation has been particul...

This paper focused on energy consumption and carbon emission for heating and cooling during a building’s operation stage, and examined the energy effects of using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as an alternative building material to reinforced concrete (RC) in China’s 31 key cities located in different climate zones. The authors designed two seven-story residential buildings, which were construct...

A positive integer n is called a CLT number if every group of order n satisfies the converse of Lagrange’s Theorem. In this note, we find all CLT and supersolvable numbers up to 1000. We also formulate some questions about the distribution of these numbers. RÉSUMÉ: Un nombre entier naturel n est appelé nombre CLT si tout groupe d’ordre n satisfait la réciproque du Théorme de Lagrange. Nous déte...

In recent work Cheon, Han, Lee, Ryu, and Stehlé presented an attack on the multilinear map of Coron, Lepoint, and Tibouchi (CLT). They show that given many low-level encodings of zero, the CLT multilinear map can be completely broken, recovering the secret factorization of the CLT modulus. The attack is a generalization of the “zeroizing” attack of Garg, Gentry, and Halevi. We first strengthen ...

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments, in particular environments where students share external representations, are discussed as an interesting area to applications of cognitive load theory (CLT). CSCL environments share a number of characteristics that will induce considerable cognitive load. This article reflects on characteristics of CSCL environments and external re...

Cross-limb transfer (CLT) describes the observation of bilateral performance gains due to unilateral motor practice. Previous research has suggested that CLT may be reduced, or absent, in older adults, possibly due to age-related structural and functional brain changes. Based on research showing increases in CLT due to the provision of mirror visual feedback (MVF) during task execution in young...
