Abstract Context.—Flow cytometric immunophenotyping is a useful ancillary tool in the diagnosis and subclassification of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs). A recent study concluded that CD64 is sensitive and specific for distinguishing AMLs with a monocytic component (ie, AML M4 and AML M5) from other AML subtypes. However, in that study, the intensity of CD64 was not well defined and the number of non-M4/non-M5 AMLs was small.

Abstract. We present an analysis of the major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) in the Arctic winters 2003/04–2009/10.

Abstract This study represents the first attempt to chemically modify wheat straw (WS) using 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) (DABCO). Field emission scanning electron micrographs (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the successful morphological and structural modification of WS and the thermal stability of the modified WS (MWS). The MWS was used to remove nitrate from water. The optimum conditions of nitrate adsorption onto MWS were examined by conductin

Abstract:
Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by distinctive facial features, congenital heart defects, Hirschsprung disease, genitourinary anomalies, various structural brain anomalies, and intellectual disability. Pathogenic mutations that result in haploinsufficiency in the <i>ZEB2</i> gene cause MWS. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical features and molecular analysis results of 4 MWS patients. All patients were examined by an expert clinical geneticist. Dysmorphological abnormalities were recorded. Data including demographic, clini

The following work addresses new configurations of sensing array platforms that are composed of Co-based amorphous ferromagnetic microwires (MWs) to obtain an enhanced modulation of the microwave scattering effects through the application of low strength DC or AC magnetic fields. An amorphous MW is an ultrasoft ferromagnetic material (coercivity ~0.2 Oe) with a circumferential magnetic anisotropy that provides a high surface sensitivity when it is subjected to an external magnetic field. Firstly, microwave scattering experiments are performed as a function of the length and number of MWs place

SYNOPSIS This paper presents the first study on the effects of internal control quality on derivatives pricing. Specifically, we utilize data from the credit default swap (CDS) transactions of well-monitored companies to examine the relationship between the quality of internal control and the cost of debt. CDS data are advantageous for the study of this relationship because CDS contracts are comparatively more homogeneous, standardized, and liquid than either bank loans or public bonds. We find that, all else being equal, companies experiencing internal control material weakness (MW) exhibit h

SUMMARY We conduct a post-implementation research analysis of AS4, a standard guiding voluntary audits of material weakness (MW) remediation disclosures, to understand the reasons for the scarcity of AS4 audits in practice. We use multiple methods (experiments, comment letter analysis, and surveys) to understand the perspectives of key stakeholders. We find that regulators' expectations of the use of the standard did not come to fruition because an equilibrium market for active use of the standard could not be achieved; that managers desire to engage in AS4 audits for the riskier MWs but do no

The Zeb2 gene encodes a transcription factor (ZEB2) that acts as an important immune mediator in mice, where it is expressed in early-activated effector CD8 T cells, and limits effector differentiation. Zeb2 homozygous knockout mice have deficits in CD8 T cells and NK cells. Mowat–Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare genetic disease resulting from heterozygous mutations in ZEB2 causing disease by haploinsufficiency. Whether ZEB2 exhibits similar expression patterns in human CD8 T cells is unknown, and MWS patients have not been comprehensively studied to identify changes in CD8 lymphocytes and NK c
