Transcripts derived from the 6 exon CALC I gene are differentially processed in a tissue-specific fashion to include or exclude a calcitonin-specific exon 4. All cell types which transcribe a second calcitonin/CGRP gene, CALC II, exclude exon 4. Substitution of the first 30 nucleotides of CALC I exon 4 with analogous CALC II sequence was sufficient to prevent recognition of exon 4 in in vitro o...

The purpose of this paper was to conduct a scoping review on Co-Active (Life) Coaching (CALC) literature related to health behaviour change. The scoping methodological framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) informed the retrieval of appropriate articles. Six questions provided an indepth exploration of CALC in the health coaching literature. This paper provides a broad overview of th...

We examine existing resolution systems for quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) and answer the question which of these calculi can be lifted to the more powerful Dependency QBFs (DQBF). An interesting picture emerges: While for QBF we have the strict chain of proof systems Q-Res < IR-calc < IRM-calc, the situation is quite different in DQBF. The obvious adaptations of Q-Res and likewise universal ...

AIMS This trial compares to methods used to find the insulin dose when starting insulin in people with type 2 diabetes in whom maximal tolerated oral hypoglycaemic agents have failed to control glycaemia. One method of initiating insulin (based on height, weight, and fasting blood plasma glucose and insulin resistance) was compared with a conventional method of initiating 10 units of isophane i...

Long term defence planning is a complex undertaking involving many separate analytical steps and with non-trivial transitions from one step to the next. Many nations struggle with the challenge of establishing analytical rigour, structure and traceability in their defence planning processes. In this paper we will present a tool that has been developed not only to support defence planning, but w...

BACKGROUND Weight loss in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common clinical manifestation that may have clinical significance. OBJECTIVES To evaluate if there is a difference between nutrition education and oral nutritional supplementation on nutritional status in patients with AD. METHODS A randomized, prospective 6-month study which enrolled 90 subjects with probable AD aged 65 ...

We present an algorithm for deriving a spatial-behavioral type system from a formal presentation of a computational calculus. Given a 2-monad Calc : Cat → Cat for the free calculus on a category of terms and rewrites and a 2-monad BoolAlg for the free Boolean algebra on a category, we get a 2-monad Form = BoolAlg + Calc for the free category of formulae and proofs. We also get the 2-monad BoolA...

Calc/Cream is a constraint programming system with a spreadsheet front-end implemented on OpenOffice.org Calc and Java language. Constraint problems are described by users as cell expressions on a spreadsheet, and solutions are searched by the constraint solver and shown as cell values by the system. It is also possible to use Basic macros to customize the system.

Software Reviews NUTRI-CALC HD. Diet and Exercise Software for PC-compatible computers with a hard disk. Three 51/4-inch disks. Tempe, AZ, Camde Corporation, 1989. $225.00. Nutri-Calc HD is a nutritional analysis/exercise software program composed of two primary modules. The first module, called "Nutri-Calc," allows the user to calculate the nutrient content of recipes, meals, or overall diets....

Peptide synthesis: peptides were assembled on an automatic microwave peptide synthesizer, Liberty1 (CEM Corp.), using Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-Wang resin and standard solid phase Fmoc/tBu protocols and HBTU/DIPEA as coupling reagents. Following synthesis completion the peptides were cleaved from the resin by TFA:TIS:H2O – 95:2.5:2.5%. Peptides were purified by semi-preparative RP-HPLC on a JASCO HPLC syst...
