Introduction: Although some CR chondrites are recognized to be among the most pristine meteorites [1], other members of this group are heavily hydrated [e.g. 2]. However, no evidence of thermal metamorphism has been documented for this group. Antarctic fall GRA 06100, initially classified as a CR2 chondrite have not been previously studied. We use optical microscopy, SEM, and focused beam EPMA ...

Let A be a noetherian AS regular Koszul quiver algebra (if A is commutative, it is essentially a polynomial ring), and grA the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. Following Jørgensen, we define the CastelnuovoMumford regularity reg(M•) of a complex M• ∈ D(grA) in terms of the local cohomologies or the minimal projective resolution of M•. Let A be the quadratic dual ring of A. ...

The present study aimed to examine the association of trait anxiety and social desirability (SOD) with granulocyte (GRA) and lymphocyte (LYM) counts in healthy adults. Subjects were 23 (9 males and 14 females) eligible adults. Trait anxiety and SOD were assessed using the Anxiety and Lie Scores of the Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS), respectively. White blood cells were counted by flow cytometry. ...

In this paper, we present a coding theorem for the ensemble of Generalized Repeat Accumulate (GRA m) codes. These codes are the serial concatenation of a terminated convolutional code and m interleaved rate-1 accumulatee codes. This theorem generalizes the results of 1] and 2] by considering outer codes with d f ree = 2 and multiple accumulatee codes. For outer codes with d f ree ≥ 2, it proves...

Sustainability development is a core issue in autonomous regions’ construction and development. The paper evaluated the sustainability of five regions Western China from 2010 to 2019. In order further analyze sustainable level regions, it compared with three provinces largest GDP Central past years, similarly, Eastern China. A new weighting method was proposed by combining grey relational analy...

Mirabegron, which was the first β3-adrenoceptor agonist introduced for use in clinical practice, has been extensively evaluated in overactive bladder (OAB) patients in several phase II and III studies. However, most of the enrolled patients were treatment naive or had experienced a wash-out period before the introduction of mirabegron. No study has reported the treatment results of a direct swi...

Microglia are intrinsic immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The under controlled microglia activation plays important roles in inflammatory demyelination diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the means to modulate microglia activation as a therapeutic modality and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that administration of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (G...

Effects of different feeding frequencies on growth performance, preprandial metabolic parameters, and endocrine traits were studied in calves up to 28 d after birth and respective postprandial changes were investigated on d 3 and 7. Calves were fed with a computer-programmed automate that allowed frequent daily intakes (GrA; n = 7) or were fed twice daily by bucket (GrB; n = 7) the same daily a...

The aim of this paper is to use a new approach of performance evaluation, Grey Relation Analysis (GRA), which is a concept borrowed from the study of industry and increasingly applied to commerce. GRA is used to evaluate the relative performance of three investment Taiwanese trust firms, which have been reorganized into banks. The result of the study indicates that although the sample size is s...
