BACKGROUND Physical activity is inversely correlated to morbidity and mortality risk. Large cohort studies use wearable accelerometer devices to measure physical activity objectively, providing data potentially relevant to identify different activity patterns and to correlate these to health-related outcome measures. A method to compute relevant characteristics of such data not only with regard...

Desmosomal cadherins, desmogleins (Dsgs) and desmocollins, make up the adhesive core of intercellular junctions called desmosomes. A critical determinant of epithelial adhesive strength is the level and organization of desmosomal cadherins on the cell surface. The Dsg subclass of desmosomal cadherins contains a C-terminal unique region (Dsg unique region [DUR]) with unknown function. In this pa...

a multivariate statistical analysis was performed on morphological characters of sixty-one populations of avena eriantha dur. a. clauda dur., a. barbata pott ex link., a. wiestii steud., a. fatua l., a. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana l. and a. sativa l. factor analysis revealed that intraspecific morphological variations are due to quantitative characters. interspecific as well as intersectional rel...

Les propos au sujet de l’œuvre gravé Nathalie Grall soulignent son pouvoir onirique, poétique, ses qualités scripturales. Ici sera pointée la place toute centrale matrice, dans le concret l’expérience l’atelier, sensible aux signes peints comme incisions qu’ils préfigurent. Aussi, l’aval gravure, celle-ci conçue, il arrive régulièrement, depuis début des années 2000, que les possibilités plaque...

Chinese Digital Terrestrial/Television Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) systems use pseudo random noise (PN) sequence instead of cyclic prefix for channel estimation. This paper proposes threshold and CIR width detection methods to improve the channel estimation and shows that threshold method combined with averaging and PN correlation reduction method needs special care for high DUR condition an...

The effects of lasalocid on rumen measures, beef and dairy performance, and carcass traits were evaluated using meta-analysis. Meta-regression was used to investigate sources of heterogeneity. Ten studies (20 comparisons) were used in the meta-analysis on rumen measures. Lasalocid increased total VFA and ammonia concentrations by 6.46 and 1.44 m, respectively. Lasalocid increased propionate and...
