BACKGROUND Local television news is the number 1 source of information for most Americans, and media health reporting has increased significantly during the past 10 years. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the health topics and reporting characteristics of health stories on local television news across the United States. STUDY DESIGN Content analysis of full-length broadcasts of local television news f...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to explore differences between male and female patients entering a rehabilitation program at a pain clinic in order to gain a greater understanding of different approaches to be used in rehabilitation. METHOD 1371 patients referred to a specialty pain rehabilitation clinic, completed sociodemographic and pain related questionnaires. They rated their pain accep...

Despite good clinical results of current drugs, a good reason still exists to search for additional therapies for the management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) has thus far been overlooked by researchers and no data exists on the subject. We studied the impact of adjunctive CHM on the disease course of CML, using mortality as the major outcome measurement. We u...

In our previous report [Aita, T., Morinaga, S., Hosimi, Y., 2004. Thermodynamical interpretation of evolutionary dynamics on a fitness landscape in an evolution reactor I. Bull. Math. Biol. 66, 1371-1403], an analogy between thermodynamics and adaptive walks on a Mt. Fuji-type fitness landscape in an artificial selection system was presented. Introducing the 'free fitness' as the sum of a fitne...

Three cDNA clones encoding isoforms of casein kinase I (CKI) were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. One full-length clone, designated CKI1, contained an open reading frame of 1371 bp encoding a protein of 51,949 D with an isoelectric point of 9.7. In addition to the highly conserved catalytic domain (of about 300 amino acids), the Arabidopsis CKI isoforms contain 150 to 180 amino acid carboxy...

Centromeres in eukaryotes are composed of tandem DNAs and retrotransposons. However, centromeric repeats exhibit considerable diversity, even among closely related species, their origin evolution largely unknown. We conducted a genome-wide characterization the sequences sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum). Four repeat sequences, So1, So103, So137 So119, were isolated. So1 has monomeric length 137...

The study evaluated the effect of genotype and growing locations on biofortified cassava root genotypes’ chemical properties. Twentyeight genotypes yellow white-fleshed were planted across four geographical areas in Nigeria harvested for two seasons. This research analyzed properties (DM, VC, TC, CNP) samples using standard laboratory procedures. ANOVA, descriptive analysis, PCA, HCA was carrie...

Abstract Diethoxymethane (DEM) is a carbon–neutral fuel with high cetane number (57.3). A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism for DEM oxidation covering low and temperature reactions first developed in this work. The reaction scheme rate rules of sub-mechanism are determined by the analogy method to n-heptane. Aramco 3.0 used as base consider C0-C4 fuels while dimethoxymethane included ensure c...

Open-source code hosted online at programming portals is present in 99% of commercial software and common practice among developers for rapid prototyping cost-effective development. However, research reports the presence vulnerabilities, which result catastrophic security compromise, individual, organization, even national secrecy are all victims this circumstance. One frustrating aspects vulne...

Abstract Children’s processing and comprehension of metonymy have received little attention in the developmental literature, which has mainly focused on children’s acquisition metaphor abilities. However, it been found that production precede (Falkum et al., 2017; Nerlich 1999; Pérez-Hernández & Duvignau, 2016; Runblad Annaz, 2010). al. (1999) suggest metonymic relations are exploited overe...
