Evaluation of narrow and broad leaflet isolines of soybeans
… study was conducted to evaluate the effect of leaflet shape on yield and other characters of soybeans, <i>Glycine max.</i> (L.) Merrill, by using narrow and broad leaflet isolines. The breeding procedure employed developed pairs of isolines whose genetic backgrounds were a random recombination …

Inheritance of the Gene(s) Controlling Leaflet Shape in Soybean
… [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cultivars have narrow leaflet shape but it is not known if all of these lines derive this trait from the ln gene or another locus. This project was conducted to determine the inheritance of the narrow leaflet trait in several soybean genotypes and wild [Glycine soja …

The role of the intergeniculate leaflet in the circadian response to light
… from the retinorecipient intergeniculate leaflet (IGL), the geniculohypothalamic tract. The retinohypothalamic tract is necessary for synchronization of rhythms to environmental light-dark cycles. In contrast, although the IGL is strategically located to convey light information to the …

Development, testing, and evaluation of the central-flow, double- leaflet heart valve
… significant contribution. A central-flow, double-leaflet valve was developed. The wear, pressure drop, turbulence, and regurgitation associated with the new valve were evaluated. The wear test results indicated the need for additional testing using more wear resistant pin-bearing combinations. The …

Predicting Transcatheter Aortic Valve Leaflet Thrombosis Risk Using Pre-Procedural Computed Tomography Angiogram and Computational Modeling
… post-TAVR, one of the most common ones being leaflet thrombosis (LT). LT is characterized by the formation of blood clots along the bioprosthetic valve leaflets, increasing the risk of stroke and further valve deterioration. Currently, the only method of detecting LT is by identifying …

The effects of mitral annular dynamics, and the laceration of the anterior leaflet with transcatheter mitral valve replacements
… and risks. Laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet (LAMPOON) is a proposed proactive solution. The first goal of this dissertation includes designing and performing in vitro experiments to evaluate and quantify benefits of LAMPOON on LVOT obstruction and thrombosis. In addition, there is a …

An investigation into the impact on low back pain of an educational leaflet designed according to lifestyle and need
… effective in treating some aspects of LBP and a leaflet is a low-cost method of providing these. Apparently if a leaflet is designed according to the needs of a specific population. it has the potential to be more effective within that group. It has been suggested that the use of such leaflets …

Evaluation of Diversity in Glycine Soja and Genetic Relationships Within the Subgenus Soja
… evaluating and classifying the variation of the leaflet shape and size in the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection and determining the genetic control of leaflet shape in G. soja. The F 2 progenies of eight G. max x G. soja and G. soja x G. soja crosses indicate at least two new loci controlling …

Lipid Composition and Configuration Drive Biophysical Properties of The Mammalian Plasma Membrane
… are asymmetrically distributed across the (PM) leaflets. Recapitulating strategies coupled with newly developed, high-resolution shotgun lipidomics, our lab confirmed PL class asymmetry and surprisingly measured the endoplasmic leaflet to contain double the number of PLs vs. the exoplasmic …

Fluid Dynamics Assessment of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Performance
… by some complications, one of which is leaflet thrombosis. In clinical practice, leaflet thrombosis has reported incidence rates ranging from 4.5 to 40% in different study populations. Although its causes are not clearly defined, studies indicate a combination of the TAV device, …

A Computational Model for Design Optimization of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves
… involves excessive stress around the tip of the leaflet which can lead to calcification. Reducing this stress can potentially increase the valve's longevity and will result in a lower risk of fatigue and leaflet tearing, and ultimately minimize the chance of valve degeneration and failure.</p> …

The inheritance of four morphological traits in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
… growth habit, stem color, root nodulation, and leaflet size in peanut. F1 and F2 progenies were obtained from diallel crosses between A. hypogaea cvs. Argentine and T2442, and A. monticola. Fz progenies and parents were grown at the Tidewater Agricultural Experiment Station in 1985. F1 plants …

Targeting phosphatidylserine exposure in pro-coagulant platelets.
… phosphatidylserine (PS), in their outer leaflet enabling coagulation complex assembly on the negatively charged surface. Assembly of the tenase and prothrombinase complexes enhances their activity, increasing thrombin generation. PS is normally confined to the inner leaflet of the plasma …

Decision making and abortion methods
… type in routine consultations, and c) evaluate a leaflet designed to facilitate women's choices to have either a medical or surgical abortion. Methods: Two studies employ a cross-sectional survey design with qualitative and quantitative methods, the third a randomised controlled trial. The samples …

Acute Stroke and the Public’s Response to Symptoms
… development and pilot testing of an information leaflet for those at higher risk of stroke. The thesis consists of four phases: an integrative review; semi-structured interviews; a focus group; pilot testing of an intervention. Phase One is an integrative review of stroke knowledge in stroke …

Genetic marker analysis of three major carbohydrates in soybean seeds
… maturity, plant canopy height, canopy spread, leaflet length, leaflet width, yield, and seed size. Seed quality traits studied were sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose content. Although some correlation coefficients were statistically significant at P<0.001, many were not large enough to be of …
