Climate warming and associated increases in nutrient mineralization may increase the availability of soil nitrogen (N) in high latitude ecosystems, such as boreal forests. These changes in N… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Ankylosing spondylitis and related spondylarthritides are associated with HLA-B27, and also with intestinal inflammation, by unknown mechanisms. The folded HLA-B27 molecule is a trimer of… (More)
Understanding how HLA-B27 contributes to the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis continues to be an important goal. Current efforts are aimed largely on three areas of investigation; peptide… (More)
To test the hypothesis that HLA-B27 predisposes to disease by forming disulfide-linked homodimers, we examined rats transgenic for HLA-B27, mutant Cys(67)Ser HLA-B27, or HLA-B7. In splenic Con A… (More)
This paper addresses the distributed stream processing of window-based multi-way join queries considering the semijoin as a key join operator. In distributed stream processing, data streams arriving… (More)
This paper presents an adaptive framework for processing a window-based multi-way join query over distributed data streams. The framework integrates distributed plan modification and distributed plan… (More)
We address continuously processing an aggregation join query over data streams. Queries of this type involve both join and aggregation operations, with windows specified on join input streams. To our… (More)
PURPOSE
The study objective was to compare different body size descriptors that best estimate vancomycin Vd and clearance (CL).
METHODS
Patients between 3 months and 21 years old who received… (More)
Thirty-five melamine-formaldehyde (MF) monolithic materials with bimodal pore distributions were synthesized in fused silica capillaries by catalyst-free polycondensation, starting with an aqueous MF… (More)
OBJECTIVE
HLA-B27 predisposes to spondylarthritis by an unknown mechanism. A logical candidate mechanism is through recognition of B27 by CD8+ T cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the… (More)
