Integrated transmission-line filters were previously proposed to attenuate conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced by high-frequency switching power converters. This paper investigates how a filter, fabricated using planar processing technologies, and power converters are modeled to accurately predict the... |
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect and quantitate the fimbrial colonization factor antigen (CFA/I) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in stool specimens obtained from adult cases of diarrhea in which CFA/I-positive E. coli was the known causative agent. The inhibition method, or blocki... |

Through three cycles of radar data collection at Venus that ended in September 1992, the Magellan mission has collected radar image data covering over 99% of the Venusian planet surface. The data reduction process of deriving image data from radar signal data has been performed primarily on the Primary SAR Processor (P... |
Energy is the basic need for any development programme. Growing energy demands are putting the non renewable energy sources at risk of extinction. One of the major energy consuming sector is automobiles, traffic in urban settlements. Now a days battery operated vehicles are on road for public and private transportation... |
Generating a single order statistic without generating the full sample can be an important task for simulations. If the density and the CDF of the distribution are given, then it is no problem to compute the density of the order statistic. In the main theorem it is shown that the concavity properties of that density de... |

LIPA (lysosomal acid lipase) mediates cholesteryl ester hydrolysis, and patients with rare loss-of-function mutations develop hypercholesterolemia and severe disease. Genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease have identified several tightly linked, common intronic risk variants in LIPA which unexpected... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Our findings show that common LIPA exonic variants in the signal peptide are of minimal functional significance and suggest coronary artery disease risk is instead associated with increased LIPA function linked to intronic variants. Understanding the mechanisms and cell-specific contexts of LIPA function in the plaque ... |
Delivering satisfaction to patients has become increasingly important among professionals in the medical community. However, administrators in medical group practices charged with the task of nurturing customer satisfaction are often required to allocate their limited funds across an array of initiatives intended to en... |
Over the last decade there has been a growing realization that phosphatases are extremely important in cellular and organismal functions1}. Tautomycin, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases (PP) 1 and 2A, was isolated from a culture broth of Streptomyces spiroverticillatus in 19872). The structure that we established in... |

Abstract. The aim of this study is to investigate the benefits of incorporating prior information in list mode, time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction using the ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm. This investigation consists of an IEC phantom study and a patie... |
Hypertension, one of the most frequent and important complications of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), usually begins in the second decade of the disease and is rare in childhood. We analysed the blood pressure (BP) levels of 106 patients (48 males, 58 females, aged 2-16 years) in relation to sex and age and... |
The present article describes the measurements of hydrogen absorbed into an intermetallic alloy. The process of hydrogen absorption into a metal hydride tank is accompanied with generating heat that must be removed during the process. If the tank is not cooled, the gas pressure rapidly increases and even with a small a... |
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a highly-penetrant, autosomal dominant monogenic disorder that causes elevated plasma low-density cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). To date, the cost-effectiveness of the emerging strategy of genomic screening of adult popu... |
To assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of offering population genomic screening to all young adults in Australia to detect heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). |
We designed a decision analysis model to compare the current standard of care for heterozygous FH diagnosis in Australia (opportunistic cholesterol screening and genetic cascade testing) with population genomic screening of adults aged 18–40 years to detect pathogenic variants in the LDLR/APOB/PCSK9 genes. The model c... |
Over the lifetime of the population (4,167,768 men; 4,129,961 women), the model estimated a gain of 62,722 years of life lived and 73,959 QALYs due to CHD prevention. Population genomic screening for FH would be cost-effective from a healthcare perspective if the cost per test was ≤AU$300 (∼US$233) which would yield a... |
Based on our model, offering population genomic screening to all young adults to detect FH could be cost-effective in the Australian healthcare system, at testing costs that are currently feasible. |

Polymer formation by the essential FtsZ protein plays a crucial role in the cytokinesis of most prokaryotes. Lateral associations between these FtsZ polymers to form bundles or sheets are widely predicted to be extremely important for FtsZ function in vivo. We have carried out a study in vitro of FtsZ polymer formation... |
