A pictorial version of the RIASEC scales of the Personal Globe Inventory
… the short form of the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI; Tracey, 2002) into images. Each item on the short-form PGI was translated into two line drawings representing a woman and a man engaging in each activity. The pictorial translation was used to assess 290 women and 247 men who also completed the …

Individual differences in the use of behavioural regulation: differentiating the influence of future-orientation and personality traits on the perception of well-being
… scales, Hope and Personal Growth Initiative (PGI), were administered to measure two hundred and sixty four participants’ future-orientation. The first aim of this study was to examine the distinctiveness of these two scales in predicting well-being. Results from factor analyses cast doubt on …

Effect of Fatty Acid Modification on Prostacyclin Production in Cultured Human Endothelial Cells (Arachidonate, Elcosapentaenoate)
… serve as endogenous precursors for prostacyclin (PGI(,2)) synthesis. Thrombin (.5 U/ml) was used to stimulate prostacyclin synthesis. AA enrichment did not result in an increased PGI(,2) synthesis while EPA enrichment decreased PGI(,2) synthesis as measured by radioimmunoassay to …

Effectiveness of program transformations and compilers for directive-based GPU programming models
… quality of early versions of two compilers - the PGI compiler and the Cray compiler, as tools for translation of C programs written for single or multicore CPUs to heterogeneous programs that execute on NVIDIA's GPUs. In our methodology, we apply a sequence of transformations to CPU programs that …

Assessing physical therapy outcomes for women with urinary incontinence
… using the Patient Global Index of Improvement (PGI-I) administered post-intervention. The relationships between patient-related characteristics and treatment success were explored using logistic regression. Descriptive statistics were utilized to describe the interventions received by …

The investigation of technological, nutritional and sensorial characteristics of wheat bread, influenced by different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
… bread (100) for the predicted glycaemic index (pGI). pGI values were significantly lower for S. cerevisiae s-23 (71.6), wb-06 (63.0) and Blanc (77.9). Furthermore, the impact of yeast strains on sensory characteristics, flavour and aroma profile was investigated by gas chromatography mass …

Fundamental studies of sourdoughs fermented with Weissella cibaria and Lactobacillus plantarum: influence on baking characteristics, sensory profiles and in vitro starch digestibility of gluten-free breads
… addition was analysed to predict the GI (pGI). Sourdough can decrease starch hydrolysis in vitro, due to formation of resistant starch and organic acids. Predicted GI of gluten-free control breads were significantly lower than for the reference white wheat bread (GI=100). Starch granule …

Vitamin E and arachidonic acid metabolism in cultured human endothelial cells.
… synergistically stimulated basal release of PGI$\sb2$ from endothelial cells. $\alpha$-tocopherol potentiates PGI$\sb2$ synthesis when challenged with exogenous arachidonic acid. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Thermal adaptation in butterflies: patterns, significance and mechanisms
… caused by variation at one single locus, the PGI locus, with one homozygote genotype, PGI-2-2, dominating in all alpine populations, while low-altitude populations show much more heterogeneous distributions with many heterozygotes. Interestingly, the genotype dominating in high-altitude …

Spatial Genetic Structure in the Mount Vernon Prairie Population of Rudbeckia Hirta
… structure was based on three polymorphic loci (PGI-1, LAP-1) assayed by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Significant spatial structure was evident for PGI-1 and LAP-1, but not for AAT-1. At the two loci with significant spatial structure, the scale of structure was extremely small, with …

Spatial structuring in trait variation in Polyommatus icarus in a functional context
… in certain allozyme loci was found (PGM and PGI). Populations differed in their response to developmental cues. Northern populations have an obligate diapause strategy and southern populations' development times differ in response to temperature, indicating local variation in response to …

Improvement of D-glucaric acid production in Escherichia coli
… of D-glucaric acid on D-glucose. Deletion of pgi and zwf was demonstrated to prevent E. coli from consuming D-glucose as well as eliminate catabolite repression effects in the presence of D-glucose. Finally, both D-glucaric acid productivity and yield were shown to be increased significantly …

Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide
… nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI₂) are strong negative regulators that modulate platelet adhesion, activation, aggregation, secretion and shape change. In this study the effects of NO on Ca²+ dependent and independent pathways of activation were investigated. The data produced …
