THE ROLE OF NOTCH SIGNALING IN THE DIFFERENTIAL ABILITY OF SUPPORTING CELL SUBTYPES TO SPONTANEOUSLY REGENERATE HAIR CELLS IN THE NEONATAL MOUSE COCHLEA
… hearing is the loss of the sensory hair cells (HCs) within the cochlea. Also in the mammalian cochlea, six major groups of supporting cell (SC) subtypes reside in close proximity to HCs and may have the potential to regenerate HCs after damage. These subtypes include cells of the greater …

THE ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF HIGHLY CUSHIONED SHOES ON LOADING CHARACTERISTICS IN RECREATIONAL RUNNERS
<p>Recently, highly cushioned shoes (HCS) entered the running market, and manufacturers suggested extra cushioning potentially reduced injury rates through superior shock absorption, implying less impact upon foot strike versus other shoes. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the …

Characterization of the Key Mouse Cochlear Developmental Genes for Auditory Hair Cell Regeneration
… inner ear cochlear auditory hair cells (HCs) and adjacent supporting cells (SCs) are believed to derive from the same progenitors during development. However, unlike SCs of nonmammalian vertebrates, mammalian cochlear SCs cannot be converted into functional hair cells (HCs) after damage, …

The Distribution of Innate Antioxidant Enzymes in Rat Cochleas
… ototoxicity, the damage of outer hair cells (OHCs) progresses in a base-to-apex gradient. Although the mechanism of GM ototoxicity has not been identified with certainty, the generation of highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) appears to be an important and early step in GM-induced HC death. …

Generation and circuit development of zebrafish retinal horizontal cells
… circuits and associations with astroglia. HCs are a key component of the circuitry of the outer retina of vertebrates and they function to modulate information transfer from photoreceptors. I examined the genesis of HCs using in vivo multiphoton time-lapse microscopy in the zebrafish retina …

An investigation of amygdala and hippocampal subregions and their relation to ageing in anxiety and related disorders
… subfield volumes between healthy controls (HCs) and participants with OCD and SAD in large-scale MRI datasets and relate these to whole and regional brain aging. Methods Hippocampal and amygdala subfield volumes and brain age estimates were derived from T1 weighted MRI images from the OCD …

The expression of muscarinc acetylcholine receptors on the avian vestibular hair cells and the modulation effects on KIR2.1
… have been suggested to be located on hair cells (HCs). They were nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) and muscarinic receptors (mAChRs). Even though pioneering physiological and pharmacological studies have shown evidence of mAChR located on the HCs, the protein expression and the role of muscarinic …

“We’re Still Going”: A Critical Ethnography of Independently-Living Elders’ Healthcare Utilization to Maintain or Regain Their Health and Autonomy.
… numbers will challenge the healthcare system (HCS) and Medicare’s ability to provide equitable, quality, elder-specific, and cost-effective healthcare (HC). The literature suggests that factors related to elders themselves, the HCS, and elder-healthcare provider (HCP) interactions impact …

Hidrodinámica de los medios granulares diluidos
… el denominado estado de enfriamiento homogéneo (HCS), analizando con detalle la función de distribución de velocidades. Utilizando una generalización del método de Chapman-Enskog, a partir de la ecuación de Boltzmann inelástica, se han deducido las ecuaciones hidro-dinámicas hasta el segundo …

Design and evaluation methodology for computer-controlled manufacturing systems
… By modeling the hierarchical control system (HCS) as a resource allocation problem, an optimal hardware configuration is identified using dynamic programing. Being independent of specific computer hardware technology, the model can address present and future automated manufacturing systems. A …

Exploring Healthcare Simulation as a Platform for Interprofessional Education
… and team-based learning, healthcare simulation (HCS) has become a preferred vehicle for IPE. As healthcare professional educators explore simulation as a platform for IPE, a need to better understand the state of the science has become apparent. This descriptive comparative study examines how the …

Characteristics of decidual macrophages and Hofbauer cells in placentas of HIV positive women on antiretroviral therapy
… macrophages, the Hofbauer Cells (HCs) in pregnancies complicated by maternal viral infections. The immune mechanisms associated with the high prevalence of adverse birth outcomes amongst HIV-1 infected women on combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) are not well characterized. In …

Signal timing optimization based on minimizing vehicle and pedestrian delay by genetic algorithm
… cost). Compared with Highway Capacity Software (HCS) GA function, the proposed procedure has the same accuracy and more capabilities. When there is no pedestrian at the intersection, with the same input, the total delay from HCS and the proposed GA procedure has no significant difference (<0.2%) …

Modulation of the vascular function by cannabinoids, calcitonin gene related peptide and connexin hemichannels
… are composed of two hexameric 10 hemichannels (HCs) that may also be junctional as non-junctional HCs. Non-junctional (unapposed) HCs are present in the plasma membrane normally closed but may open by various messengers and conditions thereby forming a pore that allows passage of ions and …

Training clinic health committees: a vehicle for improving community participation in health
… this includes formation of health committees (HCs) at health facility level. Previous research indicates that health committees are imperative in both actualizing community participation and realisation of right to health. However, few studies have been undertaken to understand the impact …

A generalized hierarchical approach for data labeling
… approaches, known as hierarchical classifiers (HCs), which propose clustering heuristics to group the labels. However, the most common HCs require that a "flat" model be trained a-priori before the label hierarchy can be learned. The primary issue with this approach is that if the initial …
