Expression. An open-array constructor consists of one or more expressions separated by commas and enclosed in square brackets. Each expression must be assignment compatible with the element type of the open-array parameter. The use of an open- array constructor corresponds to creating a temporary array variable, and initializing the elements of the temporary array with the values given by the list of expressions. For example, given the declaration of the Sum function above, the statement X := Sum([A, 3.14159, B + C]); corresponds to Temp[0] := A; Temp[1] := 3.14159; Temp[2] := B + C; X := Sum(Temp); where Temp is a temporary array variable with three elements of type Double. A type variant open-array parameter allows an open array of expressions of varying types to be passed to a procedure or function. A type variant open-array parameter is declared using the syntax The array of const syntax is analogous to array of TVarRec. The TVarRec type is a variant record type which can represent values of integer, boolean, character, real, string, pointer, class, and class reference types. The TVarRec type is declared in the System unit as follows TVarRec = record case VType: Byte of vtInteger: (VInteger: Longint); vtBoolean: (VBoolean: Boolean); vtChar: (VChar: Char); vtExtended: (VExtended: PExtended); vtString: (VString: PString); vtPointer: (VPointer: Pointer); vtPChar: (VPChar: PChar); vtObject: (VObject: TObject); vtClass: (VClass: TClass); The VType field determines which value field is currently defined. Notice that for real or string values, the VExtended or VString field contains a pointer to the value rather than the value itself. The vtXXXX value type constants are also declared in the System unit: vtInteger = 0; vtBoolean = 1; vtChar = 2; vtExtended = 3; vtString = 4; vtPointer = 5; vtPChar = 6; vtObject = 7; vtClass = 8; The MakeStr function below takes a type variant open-array parameter and returns a string that is the concatenation of the string representations of the arguments. The AppendStr, IntToStr, FloatToStr, and StrPas functions used by MakeStr are defined in the SysUtils unit. function MakeStr(const Args: array of const): string; const BoolChars: array[Boolean] of Char = ('F', 'T');

Expression. For each image, we calculated how many participants chose the targeted emotion. Overall the agreement between chosen and targeted emotions was 82% (median 88%, SD 19%). Average choice rates per targeted emo- tion are depicted in Figure 4. An ANOVA of the arcsine-transformed agreement rates (Xxxxx, 1971) revealed a significant effect of expression, F(7, 1080)=168.2, pB.01, h2p=.52. Post hoc tests showed that agreement was significantly higher for happiness (mean 98%, SD=3%), and significantly lower for contempt (mean 50%, SD=15%), compared to all other expressions (means between 80 and 90%).

As the above-reported agreement rates do not take response bias into account, we additionally determined and analysed unbiased hit rates (Xxxxxx, 1993). Unbiased hit rates can vary between 0 and 1, where a hit rate of 1 indicates not only that a stimulus category (e.g., happy faces) was always identified correctly (e.g., that happy faces were always categorised as happy), but additionally that the corresponding response (e.g., response ‘‘happy’’) was always used correctly (e.g., that the response ‘‘happy’’ was only given for happy faces). Lower unbiased hit rates result if either stimuli from a category are not classified correctly (e.g., happy faces categorised as angry) or if the corresponding response was also used for stimuli from other categories (e.g., that the response ‘‘happy’’ was also given to angry or surprised faces). Unbiased hit rates were com- puted as follows: Per participant and for each gaze direction, we first created a choice matrix with targeted and chosen expressions as rows and columns, respectively. Next, the number of ratings in each cell was squared and divided by the product of the marginal values of ...

Expression. During differentiation the expression of Stro-1 decreases, whilst the expression of osteoblast markers such as ALP increases (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2000, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx 2006). Pre-osteoblasts are committed to osteoblastic differentiation, but still retain some proliferative capacity. Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for deposition and maintenance of skeletal tissues which function via introduction of extracellular proteins such as osteocalcin, and type I collagen. Osteoblasts may undergo apoptosis or become inactive and form bone-lining cells or embed in bone matrix and form osteocytes which are the most differentiated bone cells (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx et al. 2006, Long 2011). Osteocytes are stellate cells with characteristic cellular processes which link with each other through canaliculi within the bone. Osteocytes constitute 95% of all bone cells and are embedded in mineralised matrix. Overall these cells, together are responsible for the regulation of bone remodelling and bone flexibility (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx et al. 2006, Xxxx, Xxxx et al. 2009).

These factors on the other hand, can modulate each other’s function and make a network to tune osteogenesis (Figure1-1). • Hormones The involvement of hormones in osteoblast differentiation and bone mass density has been well known for a long time. For instance, recombinant homologous growth hormone was shown to accelerate ossification when administrated systemically (Xxxxxxx, Bail et al. 1999). Parathyroid hormone was demonstrated as an enhancer of total-body bone mineral density dose dependently following daily subcutaneous injection in postmenopausal women (Xxxx, Xxxxxx et al. 2001). Estrogen, which is also known as 17β-estradiol or E2, was demonstrated to promote osteogenesis by up regulation of ALP activity, RUNX2 and parathyroid hormone, whilst inhibiting adipogenesis by reducing PPARƔ, AP2 and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression in KS483 cell line (Dang, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2002)....
Expression. We measured expression of CHRNA5 in two tissues to address whether genetic variants in the cluster are associated with expression regulation. In particular, rs3841324 has been reported as a promoter regulatory element in cell culture(99). We sought to test the effect of this variant on expression in vivo. Expression of CHRNA5 was strongly associated with rs3841324 genotype, with relative expression levels higher for the short allele in blood (r=0.72, p=4x10-71) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (r=0.73, p=2x10-63; See Figure 3.2). Association with expression of CHRNA5 was also examined for the other SNPs within the LD block, with one marker from each equivalence class tested (see Table 3.5). All markers were significantly associated with expression. Adjusting for rs3841324 reduces the significance of the association for the other SNPs drastically, in subcutaneous adipose tissue only rs1051730 remains nominally significant (p=0.018) and three SNPs show nominally significant association in blood (minimum p=0.006 for rs1051730). Overall, expression in blood and subcutaneous adipose tissue is strongly associated with rs3841324. However, we cannot rule out an additional comparably weak effect of another SNP, which was best captured by rs1051730. Expression of CHRNA5 was not associated with lifetime regular smoking, or with smoking within the past 24 hours (data not shown). We have established that there is no risk for nicotine dependence or lung cancer associated with this variant independent of the risk associated with rs1051730 (See Table 3.4). However, there is xxxxxx XX between the two variants. The T allele of rs1051730 only appears on the haplotype background including the long, or low expression, allele of rs3841324. A careful characterization of the CHRNA5/CHRNA3/CHRNB4 cluster does not identify any variants with stronger association to nicotine dependence or lung cancer than rs1051730/rs16969968. Therefore the SNP non-synonymous SNP rs16969968 remains the variant most likely to have functional effects leading to the observed association signals within this region.
