Taurodeoxycholic acid (TDC) stimulates Cl(-) transport in adult (AD), but not weanling (WN) and newborn (NB), rabbit colonic epithelial cells (colonocytes). The present study demonstrates that stimuli like neurotensin (NT) are also age specific and identifies the age-dependent signaling step. Bile acid actions are segment and bile acid specific. Thus although TDC and taurochenodeoxycholate stim...

A topic dependent class (TDC) [1] language model (LM) is a topic-based LM that uses a semantic extraction method to reveal latent topic information from nouns relation. Then a clustering for a given context is performed to define topics. Finally, a fixed window of word history is observed to decide the topic of the current event through voting in online manner. Previously, we have shown that TD...

OBJECTIVES Studies have reported that the tunnelled dialysis catheter (TDC) is associated with inferior haemodialysis (HD) patient survival, in comparison with arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Since many cofactors may also affect survival of HD patients, it is unclear whether the greater risk for survival arises from TDC per se, or from associated conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to...

Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) carcinoma is a comparable rare entity and treatment strategies have not been standardized. Here, we report a favorable outcome of TDC carcinoma patients based on our therapeutic strategy. Twelve patients with TDC carcinoma treated in our department from 1986 to 2012 were enrolled. Ten patients underwent Sistrunk's procedure in other institutions and referred to our ...

Transmission power control is essential in WCDMA in order to optimize the bandwidth utilization which is critical when variable data rates are used. One remaining problem is oscillations in the output powers due to round-trip delays in the power control loops together with the power up-down command device. The oscillations are naturally quantified using discrete-time describing functions, which...

OBJECTIVE This study investigates whether performance in a verbal response task (Color-Word Interference Test [CWIT]) and a motor response task (Conners' Continuous Performance Test [CCPT]) discriminates children with Tourette's Syndrome (TS), ADHD, and typically developing children (TDC). METHOD Nineteen children with TS, 79 with ADHD, and 50 with TDC participated (8-17 years). RESULTS Chi...

A novel 12-bit Vernier ring time-to-digital converter (TDC) with 8ps of time resolution for digital-phase-locked-loop applications is presented. The TDC achieves a large detectable range of 32ns. The core of the TDC occupies 0.75 x 0.35 mm in a 0.13um CMOS technology. The total power consumption for the entire TDC chip is only 7.5mW with a 1.5V power supply at a sample rate of 15MSps. Introduct...

Seven uranyl ion complexes have been crystallized under solvo-hydrothermal conditions from 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (tdcH2) and diverse additional, structure-directing species. [UO2(tdc)(DMF)] (1) is a two-stranded monoperiodic coordination polymer, while [PPh3Me][UO2(tdc)(HCOO)] (2) simple chain with terminal formate coligands. Although it also monoperiodic, [C(NH2)3][H2NMe2]2[(UO2)3(tdc...

This study examines how multisensory stimuli affect the performance of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) on a choice reaction time (CRT) task. Ten children with DCD, identified using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2, aged 7-10 years (4F, M=8 y 3 m, SD=17 m) and 10 typically developing peers (TDC) (5F, M=8 y 4 m, SD=17 m) reached to unimodal (auditory (AO), vi...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Fragmented care in nephrology can cause treatment delays. Nephrologists are qualified to perform vascular access-related procedures because they understand the pathophysiology of renal disease and perform physical examination for vascular access. We compared treatment delays associated with tunneled hemodialysis catheter (TDC) placement between interventional radiologists and ne...
