MR single slice image: n = 10 hypo-intense signal points were chosen and the signal intensities (as a % of the background gel) measured as a function of horizontal distance from the chosen point. (a) GRE image; (b) SE image. (cell conc. = 5x10 cells/mL; error bars represent ± standard deviation) Figure 3: Longitudinal high-resolution MRI of labeled hydrogel encapsulated cells: (a) single slice ...

This paper is concerned with certain connections between the ensemble of n × n unitary matrices—specifically the characteristic function of the random variable tr(U)—and combinatorics—specifically Ulam’s problem concerning the distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in permutation groups—and the appearance of Painlevé functions in the answers to apparently unrelated que...

The so-called extended linear sigma model is a chiral model with (pseudo)scalar and (axial)vector mesons. It is based on the requirements of (global) chiral symmetry and dilatation invariance. The purpose of this model is the description of the hadron phenomenology up to 1.7 GeV. We present the latest theoretical results, which show a good agreement with the experiment. In this paper we describ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the proportion between the segments of the normal human tricuspid valve (TV) annulus and its use as a parameter for ring annuloplasty "in vitro" and "in vivo". METHODS Digital images of the tricuspid ring of 30 human cadaveric hearts, without fixation and without tricuspid regurgitation (TR), were analyzed and the proportion between the antero-posterior and septal segme...

IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system((R))(http://imgt.cines.fr) created in 1989, by the Laboratoire d'ImmunoGénétique Moléculaire (LIGM), Université Montpellier II and CNRS, Montpellier, France, is a high quality integrated information system, secialized in immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR), major histocompatibility complex of human and other vertebrates and relat...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of eccentric training on the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes, oxidative stress, muscle damage, and inflammation of skeletal muscle. Eighteen male mice (CF1) weighing 30-35 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (N = 6): untrained, trained eccentric running (16°; TER), and trained running (0°) (TR), and were sub...

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been consolidated as a fundamental pillar of the new model competitiveness sustainable development territories. However, there still not sufficient in-depth study role that geographical proximity plays in digital inequalities affect regional competitiveness. In this context, paper aims to identify characterise clusters patterns define spatial b...

The in vitro activity of TR-700 (torezolid) was evaluated against a collection of 660 staphylococcal blood isolates. TR-700 showed excellent activity against all the staphylococci tested. The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values of TR-700, linezolid, daptomycin, and vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates were 0.25 and 0.5, 2 and 4, 0.5 and 0.5, and 1 and 2 microg/m...
