As a prototypical transaminase, AST relies on PLP as a cofactor to transfer the amino group from aspartate or glutamate to the corresponding ketoacid.

The city has three important industrial hubs: the first one is the Stainless called AST ( part of the group ThyssenKrupp ) is a wide area located in the west part of Terni.

The workers taking the milk thistle extract showed significant improvement in liver function tests ( ALT and AST ) and platelet counts vs. the placebo group.

In the spectrum between interpreting and compiling, another approach is transforming the source code into an optimized Abstract Syntax Tree ( AST ) then executing the program following this tree structure, or using it to generate native code Just-In-Time.

As an advantage over bytecode, the AST keeps the global program structure and relations between statements ( which is lost in a bytecode representation ), and when compressed provides a more compact representation.

* to ensure that any code that is shared between the main thread and the AST must be designed to be reentrant, and

* assist with the flow of information between internal and external passes as they both transform and translate the AST into new ASTs or other representations

The AST was a semi-automatic transmission using planetary gears and a conventional friction clutch, requiring the driver to use the clutch to shift into or out of gear, but not between the two forward gears.

St. Paul Island ( AST ) is a small uninhabited island located approximately northeast of Cape North on Cape Breton Island and southwest of Cape Ray on Newfoundland ; it is along the boundary between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Cabot Strait.

Other laboratory findings in Lassa fever include lymphopenia ( low white blood cell count ), thrombocytopenia ( low platelets ), and elevated aspartate aminotransferase ( AST ) levels in the blood.

Thus liver function tests to monitor liver enzymes are necessary when taking therapeutic doses of niacin, including alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ), aspartate transaminase ( AST ), and alanine transaminase ( ALT ).

* Comprehensive metabolic panel ( CMP )-14 tests-above BMP plus total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ), alanine amino transferase ( ALT ), aspartate amino transferase ( AST ), bilirubin

Elevation of alanine transaminase ( ALT ) and aspartate transaminase ( AST ) has been described in a few cases.

Brief elevations of aspartate aminotransferase ( AST ), alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ), and gamma-glutamyltransferase ( GGT ) levels are relatively mild.

Aspartate transaminase ( AST ), also called aspartate aminotransferase ( AspAT / ASAT / AAT ) or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase ( SGOT ), is a pyridoxal phosphate ( PLP )- dependent transaminase enzyme ().

Canion had allowed competitors such as Dell Computer, AST Research, and Gateway 2000 to undercut Compaq with cheaper offerings, that led to a $ 71 million loss for that quarter, Compaq's first loss as a company.

By the mid-1990s, Compaq's price war had enabled it to overtake IBM and Apple, while other IBM PC Compatible manufacturers such as Packard Bell and AST were driven from the market.

Many, if not the most, Ukrainian fantasy and science fiction authors write in Russian, which gives them access to a much broader audience, and usually publish their books via Russian publishers such as Eksmo, Azbuka and AST.

Lab findings of a liver rejection include abnormal AST, ALT, GGT and liver function values such as prothrombin time, ammonia level, bilirubin level, albumin concentration, and blood glucose.

As a result, ALT is a more specific indicator of liver inflammation than AST, as AST may be elevated also in diseases affecting other organs, such as myocardial infarction, acute pancreatitis, acute hemolytic anemia, severe burns, acute renal disease, musculoskeletal diseases, and trauma.

However, the use of AST for such a diagnosis is now redundant and has been superseded by the cardiac troponins.

KornShell is available as part of the AT & T Software Technology ( AST ) Open Source Software Collection.

This confers the efficiency of running native code, at the cost of startup time and increased memory use when the bytecode or AST is first compiled.

In computer science, an abstract syntax tree ( AST ), or just syntax tree, is a tree representation of the abstract syntactic structure of source code written in a programming language.

Once built, additional information is added to the AST by subsequent processing, e. g., contextual analysis.

* ( note that this merely presents the design of one particular project's AST, and is not generally informative )

AST is a three-letter abbreviation that stands for different things.

The Atlantic Strike Team ( AST ) of the U. S. Coast Guard is based at Fort Dix.

As part of the Department of Homeland Security, the AST is responsible for responding to oil pollution and hazardous materials release incidents to protect public health and the environment.

The goal of Civilization is to be first to advance to the final age on the Archaeological Succession Table ( AST ).

Often the type of appropriate technology that is used in developed countries is " Appropriate and Sustainable Technology " ( AST ); or appropriate technology that, besides being functional and relatively cheap ( though often more expensive than true AT ), is also very durable and lasts a long time ( AT does not include this ; see Sustainable design ).

In November 2007, AST, one of the publishing houses with which Akunin is affiliated, came out with a historical mystery novel by a new author, Anatoly Brusnikin, called Девятный спас ( Devyatny Spas, The Ninth Savior ).

On 31 January 2012 was announced the acquisition of the stainless steel division of German ThyssenKrupp by Outokumpu for to 2. 7 billion euros, of which the subsidiary is part of Acciai Speciali Terni ( AST ).

An elevated MCV is also associated with alcoholism ( as are an elevated GGT and a ratio of AST: ALT of 2: 1 ).

Nashville State is an open-entry postsecondary institution offering almost 50 majors of study toward an AA, AS, AST and AAS degree and 12 certificate programs.

* Criteria developed at the University of Mississippi, as of 2006: " For a patient to merit a diagnosis of HELLP syndrome, class 1 requires severe thrombocytopenia ( platelets ≤ 50, 000 / μL ), evidence of hepatic dysfunction ( AST aminotransferase and / or ALT aminotransferase ≥ 70 IU / L ), and evidence suggestive of hemolysis ( total serum LDH ≥ 600 IU / L ); class 2 requires similar criteria except thrombocytopenia is moderate (> 50, 000 to ≤ 100, 000 / μL ); and class 3 includes patients with mild thrombocytopenia ( platelets > 100, 000 but ≤ 150, 000 / μL ), mild hepatic dysfunction ( AST and / or ALT ≥ 40 IU / L ), and hemolysis ( total serum LDH ≥ 600 IU / L ).

* ArmSCII-7 defined in AST 34. 005 is a 7-bit encoding, not containing Latin characters.

* ArmSCII-8 defined in AST 34. 002 is an 8-bit encoding and a superset of ASCII.

* ArmSCII-8A defined in AST 34. 002 is an alternate 8-bit encoding and also a superset of ASCII.

Two important transaminase enzymes are AST ( SGOT ) and ALT ( SGPT ), the presence of elevated transaminases can be an indicator of liver damage.
