This study using massively parallel pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S amplicons provides novel information on the microbiota of a range of subjects including healthy non-smokers, smokers with normal lung function, and stable COPD subjects with mild or severe spirometric disease.
Housekeeping genes have originally been used for normalization because they are believed to have stable function and stable gene expression values.
Our hypotheses were that 1) renal hyperfiltration would decrease, in association with renal vasoconstriction and a concordant rise in arterial stiffness, as study participants transitioned from adolescence into early adulthood, and 2) normofiltration represents a state of preserved kidney function and stable macrovascular function that does not change significantly in early type 1 diabetes.
We were charged with nothing less than winning the war for America by rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, creating a functioning democracy and stable economy that would preclude terrorists like ISIS (well, it was al Qaeda then) from gaining a foothold, and thus ensuring Iraq would be an ally of the United States in the war on terror.
Our outcomes, with stimulated C-peptide readings reflecting a functioning graft and stable glycaemic control as reflected by the CGMS recordings with beta scores ≥3, are consistent with the aims of the programme for predominantly abrogating hypoglycaemia [ 41].
Turkish governments have to create the conditions for a well-functioning and stable market economy in order to satisfy the aspirations of the electorate.
These days, the second floor is reserved for weddings and other functions, and the stable is the dining room, its arches converted into glass-coffered nooks.
Neural networks are utilized to approximate unknown functions, and a stable adaptive neural backstepping controller is synthesized.
Taking the attenuation ratio as the objective function and the stable vibration regions as constrained conditions, the optimal control parameters are worked out by using minimum optimal method.
