In Autumn 2004, HSE will launch a quarterly on-line newsletter ‘Science and Research Outlook,’ providing information on the breadth of HSE’s science and engineering activities. Science and Research Outlook will replace the existing HSE quarterly science newsletters, Mainstream Research News and Offshore Research Focus. Users of the newsletter’s interactive website will be able to search and pri...

Heme oxygenase-l is an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, and its human gene promoter contains a putative heat shock element (HHO-HSE). This study was designed to analyze the regulation of human heme oxygenase-l gene expression under thermal stress. The amounts of heme oxygenase-l protein were not increased by heat shock (incubation at 42°C) in human alveolar macrophages and in a human eryth...

Deformable template representations of observed imagery, model the variability of target pose via the actions of the matrix Lie groups on rigid templates. In this paper, we study the construction of minimum mean squared error estimators on the special orthogonal group, SO(n), for pose estimation. Due to the nonflat geometry of SO(n), the standard Bayesian formulation, of optimal estimators and ...

Throughout our professional lives, we will be asked the question: “will I need braces?” A self-conscious teenager might ask, but what a worried parent may really be wondering is: “will my child be eligible for treatment within the HSE?” The modified Index of Treatment Need (IOTN) guidelines for eligibility were introduced in the HSE in 2007 as a way to assess orthodontic need objectively rather...

A newly collected historical database for the Helsinki Stock Exchange (HSE) is used to analyse number and structure of listed equity securities. The analysis shows that from its establishment in October 1912 end 1981, a total 849 different stock series related issue rights have been on HSE. Of these, 206 are normal they represent 167 companies. two largest industries represented HSE during most...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On MR imaging and CT, Japanese encephalitis (JE) shows lesions in the thalami, substantia nigra, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, brain stem, and white matter, whereas temporal lobe involvement is characteristically seen in Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Temporal lobe involvement in JE may cause problems in differentiating it from HSE. We undertook this stu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate how smoking status is recorded in UK primary care; to evaluate whether appropriate multiple imputation (MI) of smoking status yields results consistent with health surveys. SETTING UK primary care and a population survey conducted in the community. PARTICIPANTS We identified 354 204 patients aged 16 or over in The Health Improvement Network (THIN) primary care datab...

OBJECTIVE To report 14 patients with immune-mediated relapsing symptoms post-herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) and to compare the clinical and immunologic features of the teenage and adult group with those of young children. METHODS Prospective observational study of patients diagnosed between June 2013 and February 2015. Immunologic techniques have been reported previously. RESULTS Among t...

Introduction: Fe-Ni metal and sulfides are common accessory minerals in eucrites and diogenites. We have invesigated the occurrence, mineralogy and composition of these phases in 4 eucrites (EET-92023, Petersburg, Stannern, Camel Donga, hereafter CD) and in two diogenites (Johnstown and Tatahouine). In addition to conventional techniques (SEM, EMP), LA-ICP-MS was used to specifically measure th...
