Objective To evaluate the use and records of the Child Health Handbook (CHH), especially growth and development. Method Cross-sectional study with 358 mother-child pairs registered in 12 Primary Health Centers (PHCs) of a small municipality. Mothers were interviewed at the PHC from February to April 2013 using a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using WHO Anthro software, Epi InfoTM and Sta...

Central hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is an emerging pathological condition frequently associated with overweight, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and midline defects. The genetic mechanisms involve mutations in at least twenty-four genes regulating GnRH neuronal migration, secretion, and activity. So far, the mechanisms underlying CHH, both in prepubertal and in adulthood onset forms, rema...

Purpose A number of studies with large sample sizes have reported lower prevalence of stuttering in children with significant hearing loss compared to children without hearing loss. This study used a parent questionnaire to investigate the characteristics of stuttering (e.g., incidence, prevalence, and age of onset) in children who are hard of hearing (CHH). Method Three hundred three parents...

Classification of polarimetric SAR images has become a very important topic after the availability of Polarimetric SAR images through different sensors like SIR-C, ALOS-PALSAR etc. The data over wet regions of India has been processed for classification of various land features like mangrove, ocean water, and clear water. In this study the utility of NASA’s Shuttle Imaging Radar-C (SIR-C) data ...

SUMMARY We present methylC track, an efficient mechanism for visualizing single-base resolution DNA methylation data on a genome browser. The methylC track dynamically integrates the level of methylation, the position and context of the methylated cytosine (i.e. CG, CHG and CHH), strand and confidence level (e.g. read coverage depth in the case of whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data). Invest...

where f is the expression for the dynamics of the electric potential, I is the stimulus intensity, γj and τj give the dynamics for the ionic channels and Φ is the temperature compensating factor, in a Hodgkin-Huxley system, with the parameters of [9] (see also [11], [13] for notation). The coupled system CHH is symmetric (see [6, 7, 1] for more information on symmetries). The group of symmetrie...

A novel multiple affinity purification (MAFT) or tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag has been constructed. It consists of the calmodulin binding peptide, six histidine residues, and three copies of the hemagglutinin epitope. This 'CHH' MAFT tag allows two or three consecutive purification steps, giving high purity. Active Clb2-Cdc28 kinase complex was purified from yeast cells after insertin...
