Characterization of the FTF/HNF-4 Sites Within the 7Alpha- and the 12Alpha-Hydroxylase Promoters Involved in the Bile Acid-Mediated Transcription of their Regulation
… genes. Among them the most important ones are FTF and HNF-4 which has been shown to play crucial roles in the transcription and regulation by bile acids. In this study we demonstrate the importance of FTF and HNF-4 independent of each other in the transcription and bile acid-mediated regulation …

An Analysis of Remote Communication Processes Involved in Video- Mediated and Text-Based Computer-Mediated Communication During Collaborative Problem Solving
… one of three possible ways: face-to- face (FTF), a synchronous text-based computer system (CMC), and a video-mediated system (VMC). The effectiveness of the medium was evaluated based on time to solution, number of turns and words in relation to a visual search task and a spatial task. …

Investigation into the feasibilty of providing intelligent support for computer mediation decision making groups
… when compared to that of a face-to-face (FTF) group. More importantly it examined the possibility that changes in satisfaction with the process and the decision outcome are determined not by the mode of communication, but rather the style of communication the decision makers employed in …
