166 Ulcerative dermatitis (UD) is a common syndrome of unknown etiology that results in profound morbidity in C57BL/6 mice and strains on a C57BL/6 background.18,26,41 Ulcerations generally present on the dorsal scapulae, although torso, shoulder, and facial lesions are seen also, and may be single or multifocal in distribution.2,18,22 The lesions are due to severe pruritus-induced self-trauma,...

This report presents the Universal Dependency (UD) annotated corpus for Russian and a conversion process which was developed to transform SynTagRus, the Russian dependency treebank, into a UD-style annotated corpus. The aim of this work was to create a UD-style annotated corpus for Russian since no such corpus was available prior to UD release 1.3. The conversion rules were based on manually an...

This paper is meant as a brief description of the Romanian syntax within the dependency framework, more specifically within the Universal Dependency (UD) framework, and is the result of a volunteer activity of mapping two independently created Romanian dependency treebanks to the UD specifications. This mapping process is not trivial, as concessions have to be made and solutions need to be foun...

We study the equivalence between the entanglement-based scheme and prepare-and-measure scheme of unidimensional (UD) continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol. Based on this equivalence, the physicality and security of the UD coherent-state protocols in the ideal detection and realistic detection conditions are investigated using the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, respectively. We...

Objective: Effects of cotreatment with Urtica dioica (UD) methanolic leaf extract on gentamicin (GM)-induced acute kidney injury were evaluated in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n=32) were separated into four groups. Gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day, IP) was injected for eight days with or without UD methanolic extract (200 mg/kg/day, gavage). Th...

PURPOSE To respond to growing calls for a theoretical unpacking of Universal Design (UD), a disparate movement cohering around attempts to design spaces and technologies that seek to allow use by all people (to the fullest extent possible). The on-going embedding of UD into architectural practice and pedagogy represents an opportune juncture at which to draw learning from other distinct-but-rel...

Avigad introduced the notion of UD-randomness based in Weyl’s 1916 definition of uniform distribution modulo one. We prove that there exists a weakly 1-random real that is neither UD-random nor weakly 1-generic. We also show that no 2-generic real can Turing compute a UD-random real. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 03D32 (primary); 03D80 (secondary)

One of the major drawbacks for unrelated donor (UD) bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Despite results from randomized trials, antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is not routinely included for GVHD prophylaxis in UD BMT by many centers. One of ways to demonstrate the usefulness of rabbit ATG in UD BMT is to evaluate how its results approximate to those observed in m...

BACKGROUND Replacement of red meat in the diet with chicken has reduced the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and serum cholesterol in microalbuminuric type 2 diabetes patients. The effects of withdrawing red meat are unknown in the more advanced stages of diabetic nephropathy. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess the effects of replacing red meat in the usual diet (UD) with chicken (CD)...

OBJECTIVE Bipolar disorder (BD) is often misdiagnosed as unipolar depression (UD), leading to mistreatment and poor clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the similarities and differences in subcorticalgray matter regions between BD and UD. METHODS Thirty-five BD patients, 30 UD patients and 40 healthy controls underwent diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) and three dimensional arte...
