The Immunohistological Features of Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like Macules: Comparison with Melasma and Nevus of Ota
BACKGROUND: Acquired, bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM) is characterized by blue-brown macules on the face. The precise pathogenesis is unknown but reactivation of preexisting immature dermal melanocytes has been suggested for the cause of ABNOM. ABNOM is similar to melasma in clinical …

Topology-aware optimal task allocation framework for mission critical environment: Centralized and decentralized approaches
… the need to perform Optimal Task Allocation (OTA), while at the same time making it much harder to perform OTA efficiently. To perform OTA in MCE, in this thesis, I have proposed two novel automated algorithms. The first algorithm is called Centralized Optimal Task Allocation Algorithm …

Study of Ochratoxin A biosynthesis by Aspergillus ochraceus and incidence of ochratoxigenic fungi on Wine Grapes from Southern Illinois
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a neurotoxic, immunotoxic, and teratogenic mycotoxin produced by many <Aspergilli> and <Penicillia>. These organisms infect several plant species at pre-harvest and post-harvest and produce OTA in the infected crops. To date, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate …

Overt and covert organization culture: a case study of the Office of Technology Assessment
… study of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) is presented so as to provide a detailed empirical picture of an actual organization culture. This study revealed three separate arenas of culture at OTA: an overt, or official culture; a covert, or unacknowledged culture testified to by a …

Screening der apoptoseinduzierenden Interaktionen von Nephrotoxinen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Ochratoxin A
… und in <80% der Blutproben nachweisbar ist. OTA wirkt hauptsächlich auf die Niere, und hier unter anderem durch Apoptose. Im täglichen Leben sind wir jedoch vielen Nephrotoxinen gleichzeitig ausgesetzt. Somit untersuchten wir die apoptoseinduzierende Wirkung verschiedener Substanzen, wie …

Nutritional strategies to control mycotoxin damages in swine
… time to investigate in vitro the permeability of OTA and FB1 through rat intestinal mucosa. Results showed that OTA and FB1 were not absorbed from rat small intestine mucosa. Since in vivo absorption of both mycotoxins normally occurs, it is evident that in these experimental conditions Ussing …

Do anatomical contoured plates address scapula body, neck, and glenoid fractures and can these fractures be classified? – A multi-observer consensus study
… fractured scapulae using the Ideberg and AO/OTA classification system. Results: Eleven out of twenty-two fractures were found to be fixable using the plates under study. The long lateral plate addressed 83.3% of fractures involving the lateral border, while the glenoid plate was unable to …
