The method of photochemical indicators is a way to evaluate the sensitivity of O3 to its two main precursors, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reactive organic gases (ROG), directly from ambient measurements. The method is based on identifying measureable species or species ratios that are closely associated with O3-NOx-ROG predictions in photochemical models. Several species of this type have been id...

The NF-AT family is a group of potent transcription factors that are essential for T cell activation in vitro. However, NF-ATc2-deficient Th cells display hyperproliferation in response to stimulation, suggesting that NF-ATc2 functions as a negative regulator of Th cell activation/proliferation. In this study we show that the transcriptional repressor of GATA (ROG) is a direct target gene of NF...

The ability SAPRC-99 atmospheric chemical mechanism to predict photochemical smog formation under low NO x conditions was evaluated by comparing model predictions to results experiments from three different environmental chamber facilities. These included new experiments from our UCR EPA environmental chamber, and previous experiments at from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Austral...

The natural history of superficial spreading melanomas (SSMs) involves the progression from a radial growth phase (RGP) to a vertical growth phase (VGP). Currently, a patient's history represents the only method to estimate the rate of tumor growth. The present study aimed to verify whether the estimated rate of growth (ROG) of SSMs with a RGP or VGP exhibited any differences, and to evaluate t...

Methods. To further evaluate the relationship between ROG and melanoma proliferation, we assessed the correlation of ROG with Ki67, a commonly used marker of cell cycle progression, and phosphorylated-histone-H3 (PH3), a sensitive marker of mitosis. The methods of assessing Ki67 and PH3 have been described elsewhere. In brief, recuts of a representative section within the primary melanoma were ...

In the demonstration, we present a new system that performs fast and reliable classification digital photographs of coins. The system is called Coin-o-matic, and is capable of recognizing 700 different coins with over 2,000 coin faces. In its current version, Coin-o-matic classifies approximately 94% of the coins in our testsets correctly, whereas the percentage of misclassifications is around ...

The occurrence of macromolecular change accompanying differentiation in embryonic or neoplastic development is well recognized, even if poorly understood.'+ In the course of immunochemical studies on macromolecular changes related to differentiation in the amphibian,".' we have had occasion to examine the antigenic composition of the f rog kidney and of the f rog renal adenocarcinoma, which is ...

A hyperbolicity cone is said to be rank-one generated (ROG) if all its extreme rays have rank 1, where the computed with respect underlying hyperbolic polynomial. This a natural class of cones which are strictly more general than ROG spectrahedral cones. In this work, we present study automorphisms and their derivative relaxations. One our main results states that relaxations exactly original f...

PURPOSE The combination of resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may provide an alternative treatment for patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Although the results in literature look promising, uncertainty exists with regard to complication risks and survival for this therapy. METHODS From January 2000 to May 2013, patients were included in a prospective multic...
