BACKGROUND The use of core outcome sets (COS) ensures that researchers measure and report those outcomes that are most likely to be relevant to users of their research. Several hundred COS projects have been systematically identified to date, but there has been no formal quality assessment of these studies. The Core Outcome Set-STAndards for Development (COS-STAD) project aimed to identify mini...

The COS method was introduced in Fang & Oosterlee (2008) and then applied to pricing a variety of stock options for continuous random variables. This paper adapts the Fourier-cosine series (COS) recover discrete probability mass functions. We approximate mixture compound distributions with cosine series. Enormous precision computational speed are qualities function estimates here obtained. also...

We study the pairing symmetry of a two-orbital J1-J2 model for FeAs layers in oxypnictides. We show that the mixture of an intraorbital unconventional s_{x;{2}y;{2}} approximately cos(k_{x})cos(k_{y}) pairing symmetry, which changes sign between the electron and hole Fermi surfaces, and a very small d_{x;{2}-y;{2}} approximately cos(k_{x})-cos(k_{y}) component is favored in a large part of the ...

Several models of new physics, such as grand unified theories, Pati-Salam models, chiral color models, etc., predict the existence of an SU(2)L doublet of color-octet scalars (COS). In the Manohar-Wise model, the Yukawa couplings of the COS are assumed to be consistent with Minimal Flavor Violation ensuring constraints from flavor physics are satisfied even for relatively light scalars. In this...

High molecular weight nanocrystalline chitosan (HMWNC)with Mw of 350 kDa and 66.92% DDA was prepared by alkaline N-deacetylation chitin that abundantly obtained after demineralization deproteinization pulverized crab shells, commercially available oligosaccharide (COS) with average Mw< 3000 Da 87% encapsulated HMWNC. The encapsulation COS as a pharmaceutical ingredient into HMWC hypothesized...

In this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of CHO and COS-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. Human AAT cDNA was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. The transgene AAT-Jred chimer was transferr...

We examined affective consequences arising from the kinds of memory retrieval failures that often accompany social interaction. To do so, we measured influence cued-recall outcomes for biographical information on rated attractiveness faces. The data demonstrate names (Experiment 1a) and professions 1b) increases target faces relative to failed produce recall associative information. This was pr...

Wound healing occupies a remarkable place in everyday pathology and remains a challenging clinical problem. In our previous study, we prepared a silver nanoparticle/chitosan oligosaccharide/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA/COS-AgNPs) nanofiber via electrospinning and revealed that it could promote wound healing; however, the healing mechanism remained unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the mechani...
