The Internet has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of available information. In this context, reading and understanding this flow of information have become costly tasks. In the last years, to assist people to understand textual data, various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications based on Combinatorial Optimization have been devised. However, for MultiSentences Compression (MSC)...

introduction: alveolar osteitis (ao) is one of the most common postoperative complications after third molar surgery. various techniques have been used to reduce the risk of ao. the aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (chx) bioadhesive gel in preventing the development of ao. methods: patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molars underwent surgical ex...

Rat plasma contains two distinct forms of angiotensinogen (Ao-1 and Ao-2) that can be found in single animals in a distinct ratio. The ratio of Ao-1 to Ao-2 was determined by separation of Ao-1 and Ao-2 from 1 ml of plasma from individual rats on an SP-Sephadex C-50 column. Plasma from rats of three different strains, Wistar, Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), was in...

Recent studies show that participants can engage in motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) simultaneously (AO+MI), indicating a capacity for dual action simulation. Here we studied the electrophysiological correlates and behavioural outcomes of two forms of AO+MI, along with pure MI and pure AO control conditions. In synchronised AO+MI, participants imagined performing a rhythmical acti...

Aldehyde oxidase (AO) metabolism could lead to significant underestimation of clearance in prediction of human pharmacokinetics as well as unanticipated exposure to AO-generated metabolites, if not accounted for early in drug research. We report a method using cryopreserved human hepatocytes and the time-dependent AO inhibitor hydralazine (K(I) = 83 ± 27 μM, k(inact) = 0.063 ± 0.007 min(-1)), w...
