It is more than a decade since scientists are making use of sympathetic skin response (SSR) as a clinical and research method to evaluate sympathetic nervous system. A major portion of the efferent pathway of this response is composed of non-myelinated nerves. Thus, the latency of the response may be significantly different in normal individuals with different height and limb lengths. This stud...

Detection of thymic tumors by (111In-DTPA0)octreotide scintigraphy and the antitumor effect exerted by somatostatin (SS) analogs suggest significant expression of SS receptors (SSRs) in these tumors. We measured SSR subtype (sst)2A and sst3 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 14 thymic tumors previously studied by SSR scintigraphy (SRS). Scintigraphy showed significant (111In-DTPA0)octr...

The objectives of the present study were to determine heterotic groups of germplasm lines of tropical maize by test crosses and by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to compare five grouping methods of heterogeneous maize. Sixteen lines of nine populations in the S5 generation were evaluated in test crosses with three testers. The results of four experimental trials over two years were us...

The signal-sequence receptor (SSR) has previously been shown to be a component of the environment which nascent polypeptides meet on passage through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. We report here on the primary structure of the SSR as deduced from cDNA clones and from direct protein sequencing. The glycoprotein is synthesized with a cleavable amino-terminal signal sequence and contains...

Our recently proposed scalable source routing (SSR) protocol combines source routing in the physical network with Chord-like routing in the virtual ring that is formed by the address space. Thereby, SSR provides self-organized routing in large unstructured networks of resource-limited devices. Its ability to quickly adapt to changes in the network topology makes it suitable not only for sensor-...

With the objective of developing new SSR markers for Coffea arabica, two enriched genomic libraries with probes (GT)15 and (AGG)10 were constructed. A total of 835 clones were sequenced and 756 presented good quality sequences. Redundant sequences were observed for 113 clones (14.94%). SSRs were found in 287 clones (38%). An estimated size of 417.5Kb of the C. arabica genome was sampled, with a...

This paper presents Cisco’s speaker segmentation and recognition (SSR) system, which is a part of a commercial product. Cisco SSR uses speaker segmentation and speaker recognition algorithms with a crowd sourcing approach to create speaker metadata. The speaker metadata makes the enterprise videos more accessible and more navigable by itself, and by its combination with other forms of metadata ...

mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly fortraits with a very low level of genetic variation. this research was conducted to assess genetic variationinduced by gamma radiation in m2 and m3 mutant lines of canola (brassica napus l.) by ssr and morphologicalcharacteristics and to identify useful mutants in terms of agronomic traits. six...

There is a growing interest in the potential anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects of compounds that target neurokinin receptors. Since the structure and the pharmacology of the human neurokinin receptor resembles that of gerbils, rather than that of mice or rats, we decided to investigate the anxiolytic- and /or antidepressant-like effects of NK1 (SSR240600), NK2 (saredutant) and NK3 (os...

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is an important grain and forage crop grown worldwide. We developed a simple sequence repeat (SSR) linkage map for sorghum using 352 publicly available SSR primer pairs and a population of 277 F2 individuals derived from a cross between the Westland A line and PI 550610. A total of 132 SSR loci appeared polymorphic in the mapping population, and 118 SSRs were mapped ...
