An Evaluation of the Grover-Counter Test for use in the Assessment of Black South African Township Children with Mental Handicaps
The Grover-Counter Test (GCT) is evaluated for use with a group that has been neglected in terms of legislative provisions and services, as well as assessment procedures. Non-handicapped black scholars in racially segregated schools underperformed after the age of 7 years, and this finding is …

Molecular Studies on Pathogenesis, Prognostic Factors, and New Treatment Options for Ovarian Granulosa Cell Tumors
Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is the second most common subtype of ovarian cancer, representing 5% of all ovarian malignancies. GCTs are characterized by an indolent course of disease, with a 5-year survival rate of over 90%. However, recurrences occur in 20-30% of patients, also those with …

Dépistage précoce du diabète gestationnel
… pregnancy, using a 50g glucose challenge test (GCT) although women with multiple risk factors are expected to be assessed “early” in pregnancy, a recommendation poorly followed. Most importantly, there is no universal agreement currently in place for GDM screening, particularly during the first …

Microencapsulation of tributyrin to improve sensory qualities and intestinal delivery
… In infant formulas, GCD and TB oven dried (GCT OD) microcapsules were able to reduce the sensory perception of TB to a level indistinguishable from a control infant formula containing no TB. All other WPI, WPI-inulin, and GCD-based microcapsules were significantly different from the control …

Geometric complexity theory and orbit closures of homogeneous forms
… is the Geometric Complexity Theory programme (GCT for short) which was introduced in 2001 by Mulmuley and Sohoni. Chapter 3 serves as an introduction to GCT: Here, the separation of complexity classes is reduced to the existence of certain integer vectors, which we also call obstructions. The …

Impacto da dieta dissociada no índice internacional de qualidade da dieta e nos biomarcadores de estresse oxidativo
… com o tipo de dieta. Para o grupo controle (GCT), foi prescrita uma dieta equilibrada em macronutrientes; para o grupo de carboidrato diurno (GCD), foi prescrito almoço hiperglicídico/hipoprotéico e jantar hipoglicídico/hiperprotéico, enquanto que no grupo do carboidrato noturno (GCN), a …

The computational modelling of the spinal cord neurons involved in the pain process
… proposed the influential gate control theory (GCT) of pain and, in general, this has been supported by subsequent research. This theory postulates that cells in the substantia gelatinosa, located within the spinal cord, act like a gate mechanism that modulates the flow of information through …

General Case Training via Telehealth for Parents of Young Children At-Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder
… early intervention using general case training (GCT) combined with behaviour skills training (BST) via telehealth for young children at-risk for ASD. Six parent-child dyads participated in total. Child target skills were identified through the Parent Observation of Early Markers Scale and …

Implicaciones de la gestión de calidad total en la dirección de recursos humanos: una aproximación empírica bajo la óptica del modelo EFQM
… la importancia de la gestión de calidad total (GCT) en el seno empresarial se ha considerado fundamental para el desarrollo de ventajas competitivas en las organizaciones. De hecho, a lo largo de estos años han surgido una serie de modelos y premios de calidad distintos, tales como el modelo …

Toward an interpretive framework of two-dimensional speech-signal processing
… space as the Grating Compression Transform (GCT). We argue for a 2-D sinusoidal-series amplitude modulation model of speech content in the spectrogram domain that relates to speech production characteristics such as pitch/noise of the source, pitch dynamics, formant structure and dynamics, …

Infertility and infertility treatment: childhood cancer and epigenetic risks.
… diagnoses: infant leukemia and germ cell tumors (GCT). As these two diagnoses are quite rare, few previous studies have been performed to examine infertility or its treatment as a possible risk factor. Overall, no significant associations between infertility or its treatment and infant leukemia or …

Genetic and Biochemical Analyses of the Necessity for Caspase Activation by the CED4-Domain Proteins, APAF-1 and DARK
… frequently deleted in Male Germ Cell Tumors (GCT's). Though not homozygously inactivated in these tumors, Apaf-1 mediated caspase activation is impaired in GCT cell lines and may be a frequent event in other cancer types. Analysis of human genomic DNA facilitated the discovery of the …

Targeting oncogenic microRNAs in malignant germ cell tumours.
Malignant germ cell tumours (mGCTs) are a heterogenous group of tumours that occur primarily in the testes and ovaries but also in other anatomical sites, and affect people of all ages. It was established by the Coleman group through microRNA profiling in 2010 that all mGCTs, regardless of tumour …

Air quality and climate change in the greater Cape Town area
… research focuses on the Greater Cape Town Area (GCTA), where temperature inversions lead to high air pollutant concentrations and episodes of air pollution. As local meteorological conditions are often manifestations of larger weather producing phenomena (e.g. anticyclones), the work presented …

The Role of HNF4A in Germ Cell Tumor Development
… Overexpression of HNF4A in an undifferentiated GCT line is sufficient to drive extraembryonic endodermal gene programs. This endodermal program subsequently utilizes endogenous WNT signaling to grow. Additionally, isoform specific manipulation of HNF4A revealed differential oncogenic potential …

Downregulation of miRNA expression in malignant germ cell tumours: mechanism and functional significance
Germ cell tumours (GCTs) are clinically and pathologically heterogeneous neoplasms that arise at gonadal (testicular/ovarian) and extra-gonadal sites. The chemotherapy burden for patients with malignant germ cell tumours (mGCTs) that require treatment results in substantial longterm side-effects, …
