About a 100 years ago, the Drosophila white mutant marked the birth of Drosophila genetics. The white gene turned out to encode the first well studied ABC transporter in arthropods. The ABC gene family is now recognized as one of the largest transporter families in all kingdoms of life. The majority of ABC proteins function as primary-active transporters that bind and hydrolyze ATP while transp...

Abacavir (ABC) is administered either at 600 mg once daily (ABC 600 mg QD) or 300 mg twice daily (ABC 300 mg BID) in anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) combination therapy. Although ABC plasma pharmacokinetics following each regimen has been well defined, no study has directly compared the regimens with respect to pharmacokinetics of ABC's active intracellular anabolite, carbovir-trip...

Prior research into the extent to which operating units have considered activity-based costing (ABC) has either examined the extent to which operating units have considered or not considered ABC. This paper uses logistic ordinal regression analysis to examine the impact of the level of competition, product customization, manufacturing overhead costs and operating unit size on the level of consi...

Approximate Bayesian Computational (ABC) methods, or likelihood-free methods, have appeared in the past fifteen years as useful methods to perform Bayesian analysis when the likelihood is analytically or computationally intractable. Several ABC methods have been proposed: MCMC methods have been developed by Marjoram et al. [2003] and by Bortot et al. [2007] for instance, and sequential methods ...

objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric features of the persian version of the autism behavior checklist (abc). method: the international quality of life assessment (iqola) approach was used to translate the english abc into persian. a total sample of 184 parents of children including 114 children with autism disorder (mean age =7.21, sd =1.65) and 70 typically develo...

The major aim of this study is to extend Zhang and Isa’s (2011) study by investigating the moderating effect of the stages of ABC application on the firms’ performance. This study selects 106 Chinese manufacturing companies and employs multiple regression technique and structural equation modelling. It examines whether successful application of the ABC directly affects the firm’s performance, a...

ABC analysis is a popular and effective method used to classify inventory items into specific categories that can be managed and controlled separately. In traditional ABC analysis the inventory items are categorized in to A ,B and C classes based on the annual dollar usage. The annual dollar usage is determined as the product of unit cost of each item and its annual demand. The items are arrang...

Bayes linear analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) are techniques commonly used in the Bayesian analysis of complex models. In this article we connect these ideas by demonstrating that regression-adjustment ABC algorithms produce samples for which first and second order moment summaries approximate adjusted expectation and variance for a Bayes linear analysis. This gives regressio...
