We measured low substrate (<1 nM) thyroid hormone (TH) deiodination activities in liver, muscle, intestine, and brain microsomes of Atlantic hagfish fasted for 2 weeks and found extremely low thyroxine (T(4)) outer-ring deiodination (T(4)ORD) and inner-ring deiodination (T(4)IRD) as well as 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T(3)) IRD activities. T(3)ORD, 3',5'-triiodothyronine (rT(3)) ORD and rT(3)IRD a...

The complexity and interdependencies of an object-oriented program makes testing of such programs diicult. In this paper, we present a reverse engineering based model called Object Relation Diagram (ORD), which is generated from analyzing the C++ source code of an object-oriented program. An ORD is a directed graph in which the vertices represent the object classes and the edges represent the r...

CONTEXT P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a crucial electron donor to all microsomal P450 cytochrome (CYP) enzymes including 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and P450 aromatase. Mutant POR causes congenital adrenal hyperplasia with combined glucocorticoid and sex steroid deficiency. P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (ORD) commonly presents neonatally, with disordered sex development ...

Introduction . A set A of nonnegative integers is said to be an (asymptotic) basis of order r if every s ufficiently large integer can be expressed . a s a sum of at most r integers taken from A (where repetition is allowed) and r is the least integer with this property . In this case we write ord (A) = r . A basis A is said to have exact order s if every sufficiently large integer is the sum o...

Orientation disruptor (ord), a meiotic mutant that is recombination defective in females and disjunction defective in males and females, has been analyzed using serial section electron and light microscopy. From analysis of primary spermatocytes we have confirmed that ord males are defective in some aspect of the mechanism(s) that holds sister chromatids together during meiosis. In addition, we...

We introduce a new subclass of Allen's interval algebra we call \ORD-Horn subclass," which is a strict super-set of the \pointisable subclass." We prove that reasoning in the ORD-Horn subclass is a polynomial-time problem and show that the path-consistency method is suucient for deciding satissability. Further, using an extensive machine-generated case analysis, we show that the ORD-Horn subcla...

Let (G, <) be a finite graph G with a linearly ordered vertex set V. We consider the decision problem (G, <)ORD to have as an instance an (unordered) graph r and as a question whether there exists a linear order < on V(T) and an order preserving graph isomorphism of (G, <) onto an induced subgraph of r. Several familiar classes of graph are characterized as the yes-instances of (G, <)ORD for ap...

The numerical analysis of spatial point distributions has interested academics for many years. A very early work that resulted in the famous Moran’s I statistic was that by Moran (1948). An early important collection of work on general spatial analysis is that edited by Berry and Marble (1968). The development of spatial point analysis theory is illustrated by such later books by Cliff and Ord ...

We introduce a new subclass of Allen’s interval algebra we call “ORD-Horn subclass,” which is a strict superset of the “pointisable subclass.” We prove that reasoning in the ORD-Horn subclass is a polynomial-time problem and show that the path-consistency method is sufficient for deciding satisfiability. Further, using an extensive machine-generated case analysis, we show that the ORD-Horn subc...

where χ, ψ is a non trivial character of Fq , whose value at 0 is defined to be 0. It is well known that the absolute value of J(χ, ψ) is √ q = p, when χψ is not principal. According to [11], [9], call the Jacobi sum J(χ, ψ) pure if J(χ, ψ)/p is a root of unity. Let ord(χ) be the order of χ in F̂×q . From now on in this paper, we assume that ord(ψ) = 2 and ord(χ) = n ≥ 3. This special type of Ja...
