Genes determining the bovine erythrocyte antigens were mapped by linkage analysis. In total 9591 genotypes of 20 grandsire families with 1074 sires from a grand-daughter design were elucidated for the genes determining the erythrocyte antigens EAA, EAB, EAC, EAF, EAJ, EAL, EAM, EAN′, EAR′, EAS, EAT′, and EAZ according to standard paternity testing procedures in the blood typing laboratories.

A search is presented for the direct pair production of the stop, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, that decays through an R-parity-violating coupling to a final state with two leptons and two jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-jet. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s= 13 TeV, collec
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied participants in PROVALID (PROspective cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for VALIDation of biomarkers), a prospective multinational cohort study of patients with type 2 diabetes and a follow-up of more than 24 months (n = 2,560; baseline median eGFR, 84 mL/min/1.73 m2; urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, 8.1 mg/g). The 17 biomarkers were m
Introduction: The thrombin generation assay-calibrated automated thrombogram (TGA-CAT) method is used to measure the overall coagulation capacity in plasma. However, the method is still considered to be a research tool, mainly because of its’ lack of standardization. Aim: Our study aimed to further raise the standardization level for the TGA-CAT method by evaluating a detailed standardization prot
We study the effects of self-consistency and vertex corrections on different GW-based approximations for model systems of interacting electrons. For dealing with the most general case, we use the Keldysh time-loop contour formalism to evaluate the single-particle Green's functions. We provide the formal extension of Hedin's GW equations for the Green's function in the Keldysh formalism. We show an
Coalescence during emulsification has a significant effect on the outcome of the process, especially for the high volume fractions of disperse phase common in food and pharmaceutical processing. Controlling emulsification requires that the extent of coalescence during different conditions can be quantified. The step-down technique is the most commonly used method for measuring coalescence frequenc
Background Risk factors included in the cardiovascular (CHA2DS2‐VASc) score, currently used for atrial fibrillation (AF), may predispose to cardiovascular events whether or not AF is present. The aim was to explore the predictive role of CHA2DS2‐VASc score on cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic patients without AF. Methods We accessed individual data from 610 diabetic patients without AF at baseli
The title compound forms as biphasic single crystals containing the α- and β-polymorphs. The structure of both polymorphs was solved and refined from single crystal X-ray data in a simultaneous refinement. The structures consist of rods of composition Sb3O4 separated by isolated iodine ions. The two phases differ only in the next nearest neighbour arrangement. The orthorhombic α-phase crystallizes
A search for heavy long-lived multicharged particles is performed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 collected in 2015 and 2016 from proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionization, consistent with long-lived massive particles with electric charges from |q|=2e to |q|=7e, are searched for. No events
Population ageing affects most European countries, pressurizing pension and care systems. This combination fuels demand for formal and informal care, implying that many, particularly women, are faced with dual responsibilities of paid work and unpaid caregiving. We study the relationship between unpaid caregiving for parents and labor supply (in terms of employment and work hours) among older adul
The isolation, identification and structure of the spalt gene is described. This novel homeotic gene of Drosophila is required for the establishment of the posterior-most head and the anterior-most tail segments of the embryo. It encodes a small mRNA of 0.8 kb which is under the control of over 15 kb of upstream sequences as indicated by the phenotype of transformed embryos. The putative spalt pro
A modified local error model is developed for numerical integration of ODEs with invariants. The basic idea is to use a commutativity relationship that holds for implicit state-space form methods. A new implicit state-space form predictor is developed from which error estimates can be obtained by predictor-corrector difference: This technique is demonstrated through the preliminary examples in thi
Purpose: To assess the associations of meniscal tears, knee malalignment, cartilage damage, knee effusion, and body mass index with meniscal extrusion. Materials and Methods: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis study is an observational study of individuals who have or are at risk for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The HIPAA-compliant protocol was approved by the institutional review boards of all particip
STUDY DESIGN: Qualitative descriptive. INTRODUCTION: Cold sensitivity is a common and persistent complaint after hand injuries. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To explore the experiences of severe cold sensitivity, its consequences for daily life, and the strategies for enduring and enabling occupation. METHODS: Fifteen hand-injured patients with abnormal cold sensitivity were interviewed. The transcribed t
An upper bound on the first-event error probability for maximum-likelihood decoding of fixed binary convolutional codes on the binary symmetric channel is derived. The bound is evaluated for rate1/2codes, and comparisons are made with simulations and with the bounds of Viterbi, Van de Meeberg, and Post. In particular, the new bound is significantly better than Van de Meeberg's bound for rates abov
