s of 42 papers given at the Fumonisin Risk Assessment Workshop are presented. Topics covered include occurrence, analytical methods, toxicity and risk assessment of fumonisins and control of fumonisin production. PETERSEN, A. and THORUP, I. 2001. Preliminary evaluation of fumonisins by the Nordic countries and occurrence of fumonisins (FB 1 and FB 2 ) in cornbased foods on the Danish market . F...

Introduction: The rate of cardiac diseases have increased among patients who underwent radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer. The study’s aim was evaluate the dose to organs at risk in free-breathing 3-dimensional conformal (FB-3DCRT) against 3-dimensional conformal deep inspiration breath-hold (3DCRT-DIBH) in patients with left-sided breast cancer. Ma...

Using whole cell recordings, we studied excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs, IPSCs) in feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) circuits between areas V1 and LM (lateromedial) in developing mouse visual cortex. We found that in mice reared with normal visual experience, FF and FB synapses onto layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons develop equal but submaximal strengths whose EPSCs are increa...

While X-ray measurements have so far revealed an increase in the volume-averaged baryon fractions fb(r) of galaxy clusters with cluster radii r, fb(r) should asymptotically reach a universal value fb(∞) = fb, provided that clusters are representative of the Universe. In the framework of hydrostatic equilibrium for intracluster gas, we have derived the necessary conditions for fb(∞) = fb: The X-...

The AciDs transposon system from maize was used for insertional mutagenesis in tomato. Marker genes were employed for the selection of plants carrying a total of 471 unique Ds elements. Three mutants were obtained with Ds insertions closely linked to recessive mutations: feebly (fb), yellow jim (yj) and dopey (dp). The fb seedlings produced high anthocyanin levels, developed into small fragile ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Many patients undergoing a flexible bronchoscopy (FB) experience anxiety and discomfort during the procedure. We assessed whether an additional patient visit after a FB would improve patient satisfaction. METHODS The study patients were randomly assigned to a control and post-visit groups. The physicians who were scheduled to perform the FB visited the study patients. The cont...

Motivated by a recently proposed biologically inspired face recognition approach, we investigated the relation between human behavior and a computational model based on Fourier-Bessel (FB) spatial patterns. We measured human recognition performance of FB filtered face images using an 8-alternative forced-choice method. Test stimuli were generated by converting the images from the spatial to the...

In a typical multi-standard wireless communication receiver, the channelizer must have the capability of extracting multiple channels (frequency bands) of distinct bandwidths corresponding to different communication standards. The channelizer operates at the highest sampling rate in the digital front end of receiver and hence power efficient low complex architecture is required for costeffectiv...

In this study, we investigate the long-term exposure (20 weeks) to fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) in grower-finisher pigs by conducting a quantitative exposure assessment (QEA). Our analytical approach involved both deterministic and semi-stochastic modeling for dietary comparative analyses of FB(1) exposures originating from genetically engineered Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-corn, conventional non-Bt ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated the safety of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) in mechanically ventilated subjects. However, the safety of FB in adult subjects receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has not been described previously. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of all adult subjects who underwent FB while receiving ECMO support at the University of Alaba...
