PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate the interrater reliability, construct validity, and sensitivity of Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-Hand Function Test (TRI-HFT), within an interventional randomized control trial. METHOD Twenty-one participants with subacute C4 to C7 spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited. Based on randomization, participants were allocated to either the f...

Exposure to biocides may result in cross-resistance to other antimicrobials. Changes in biocide and antibiotic susceptibilities, metabolism, and fitness costs were studied here in biocide-selected Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae mutants. E. coli and K. pneumoniae mutants with various degrees of triclosan susceptibility were obtained after exposure to triclosan (TRI), benzalkonium chl...

Extensive bibliography on isomerism of cyanuric acid is presented. Nine possible isomers of cyanuric acid are characterized computationally. The tri-oxo tautomer is by far the most stable isomer of cyanuric acid. The tri-hydroxy form is by more than 100 kJ mol 1 higher in energy than tri-oxo. Cyanuric acid under all experimental conditions exists as tri-oxo tautomer. g r a p h i c a l a b s t r...

We present a tri-modality imaging system and fully integrated tri-modality probe for intravascular imaging. The tri-modality imaging system is able to simultaneously acquire optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasound (US), and fluorescence imaging. Moreover, for fluorescence imaging, we used the FDA-approved indocyanine green (ICG) dye as the contrast agent to target lipid-loaded macrophage...

Ontogeny and fatty acid chain-length specificity of gastrointestinal lipases in neonatal piglets were examined to explore the basis for variations in postnatal use of medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT). Twenty-four newborn pigs were studied at 4 ages: 0, 6, 18, and 48 h postpartum (n = 6 pigs/age). Piglets were gastrically intubated and given 3.0 mmol/kg of BW(0.75) each of emulsified tri-C6:0...

Applying relational tri-training (R-tri-training for short) to web page classification is investigated in this paper. R-tri-training, as a new relational semi-supervised learning algorithm, is well suitable for learning in web page classification. The semi-supervised component of R-tritraining allows it to exploit unlabeled web pages to enhance the learning performance effectively. In addition,...

We report herein the solvent and temperature effects on the emission of the intermolecular exciplexes 1-cyanonaphthalene/triethylamine and 1-methylnaphthalene/triethylamine and the intramolecular exciplexes formed by the bichromophoric compounds diethyl-(3-naphthalen-1-yl-propyl)-amine (I), diethyl-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-amine (II), 3-[ethyl-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-amino]-propionitrile (II...

Radical-based carbonylation reactions of alkyl halides were conducted in a microflow reactor under pressurized carbon monoxide gas. Good to excellent yields of carbonylated products were obtained via radical formylation, carbonylative cyclization and three-component coupling reactions, using tributyltin hydride or TTMSS as a radical mediator.
