Synaptic remodeling associated with neuronal and glial changes in the vagal dorsal motor nucleus (DMV) and nucleus ambiguous (NA) after vagal-hypoglossal nerve anastomosis (VHA). At 25 days postoperation (dpo), there were 50% fewer presynaptic boutons containing round vesicles (R) or round and large dense-cored synaptic vesicles (R+D) contacting HRP-labeled DMV motoneurons. The loss of R bouton...

Modelling distributed and mobile systems at a suitable level of abstraction maybe considered the main application area of process calculi and graph transformation systems. Analysis and verification methods for the resulting models abound. Here we focus on two lines of research: on the one hand the work following the influential theory of Reactive Systems (rs) [6] (originally developed for proce...

Different parallelization techniques for reductions have been proposed elsewhere, that we have classified in this paper into two classes: LPO (Loop Partitioning Oriented techniques) and DPO (Data Partitioning Oriented techniques). We have analyzed both classes in terms of a set of performance properties: data locality, memory overhead, parallelism and workload balancing. In this paper we propos...

The analysis of astronomical images is a non-trivial task. The DPO algorithm addresses the inference problem of denoising, deconvolving, and decomposing photon observations. Its primary goal is the simultaneous but individual reconstruction of the diffuse and point-like photon flux given a single photon count image, where the fluxes are superimposed. In order to discriminate between these morph...

BACKGROUND The main hypothesis of this study is that oral heme iron polypeptide (HIP; Proferrin ES) administration will more effectively augment iron stores in erythropoietic stimulatory agent (ESA)-treated peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients than conventional oral iron supplementation (Ferrogradumet). METHODS Inclusion criteria are peritoneal dialysis patients treated with darbepoietin alpha (...

Comparative mitochondrial genomics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provide new avenues to overcome long-lasting obstacles that have hampered studies aimed at understanding the community structure, diversity, and evolution of these multinucleated and genetically polymorphic organisms.AMF mitochondrial (mt) genomes are homogeneous within isolates, and their intergenic regions harbor numerou...

Successful PCR starts with proper priming between an oligonucleotide primer and the template DNA. However, the inevitable risk of mismatched priming cannot be avoided in the currently used primer system, even though considerable time and effort are devoted to primer design and optimization of reaction conditions. Here, we report a novel dual priming oligonucleotide (DPO) which contains two sepa...

The analysis of astronomical images is a non-trivial task. The DPO algorithm addresses the inference problem of denoising, deconvolving, and decomposing photon observations. The primary goal is the simultaneous reconstruction of the diffuse and point-like photon flux from a given photon count image. In order to discriminate between these morphologically different signal components, a probabilis...

  The aims of the present study were to determine the best time for egg stripping after ovulation and to study oocyte over-ripening in the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius). Eggs were retained in the female abdominal cavity for 40 days post ovulation (DPO). Partial volumes of eggs stripped from 10 individually identified females at 10 days intervals and fertilized with a pool of semen ...

Graph Transformation Systems (GTS) and Petri Nets (PN) are two central, theoretically sound, formal models for concurrent or distributed systems. A lot of papers have focused on the relationship between GTS PN. It is generally accepted that PN instances due to lack ability adapt reconfigure their structure. In this paper, which extends a recent one, we reverse perspective by presenting definiti...
