Functional data analysis is used to examine articulatory variability across repetitions in normal speech, under different movement constraints. A temporal normalization technique is applied to align trajectories of lips, jaw, and tongue in vowel-consonant-vowel sequences. Next, an index of amplitude variability is computed, defined as the mean standard deviation between peak velocities of the cons

a mathematically rigorous definition of the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator -d(2)/dx(2)-gamma/x is given, It is proven that the domain of the operator is defined by the boundary conditions connecting the values of the function on the left and right half-axes. The investigated operator is compared with the Schrodinger operator containing the Coulomb potential -gamma/x.
Vascular damage induced by trauma, inflammation, or infection results in an alteration of the endothelium from a nonactivated to a procoagulant, vasoconstrictive, and proinflammatory state, and can lead to life-threatening complications. Here we report that activation of the contact system by Salmonella leads to massive infiltration of red blood cells and fibrin deposition in the lungs of infected
OBJECTIVE: To examine possible estrogen dependent endometrial expression of MMP-26 in vitro. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Palacky University Medical School and University Hospital, Olomouc, Czech Republic, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. METHODS: We studied MMP-26 mRNA in 14 normal endometrial sample
The effects of polyamines were investigated in strips of smooth muscle from guinea pig ileum permeabilized with beta-escin (0.005%). Spermine (1 mM) inhibited transient contractions induced in Ca(2+)-free medium by carbachol (0.1 mM) and GTP gamma S (0.1 mM) but potentiated responses to caffeine (20 mM) and D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (40 microM). At high ethylene glycol-bis(beta-amino-ethy
Fibril formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is associated with cell death of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A likely cause for the cytotoxicity of human TAPP is that it destroys the barrier properties of the cell membrane. Here, we show by fluorescence confocal microscopy on lipid vesicles that the process of hIAPP amyloid formation

The hybodont form genus Lissodus is taken under revision and found to comprise a number of lineages. Twelve species, stratigraphically extended from the Scythian, Lower Triassic to the Albian, Lower Cretaceous, are retained in Lissodus s.s. Thirteen other species can be included in Lonchidion, here considered as a justified genus, ranging from the Ladinian in the Middle Triassic to the Maastrichti
Electrically active defects induced by electron irradiation in Czochralski (Cz)grown Si crystals with low carbon content (N-C <= 2 x 10(15) cm(-3)) have been studied by means of Hall effect measurements, deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and high-resolution Laplace DLTS (LDLTS). It has been found that in n-type carbon-lean Cz-Si irradiated at room temperature a centre with an acceptor level
The relative significance of weak non-covalent interactions in biological context has been much debated. Here, we have addressed the contribution of Coulombic interactions to protein stability and assembly experimentally. The sweet protein monellin, a non-covalently linked heterodimeric protein, was chosen for this study because of its ability to spontaneously reconstitute from separated fragments
Empowerment has become a widespread concept in various social policy contexts referring to different marginalized groups. Empowerment has also been focused within the mental health field although little empirical research exists. The aim of the present study was to investigate internal consistency and construct validity of the Swedish version of an empowerment scale developed for people with a men
