Biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins involves the action of a GPI trans-amidase, which replaces the C-terminal GPI signal sequence (GPI-SS) of the primary translation product with a preformed GPI lipid. The transamidation de ...
We recently reported that 3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzofuro[3,2,f][1]-benzopyran and its hydrogenated analogue are selective in vitro inhibitors of mycobacterial growth. However, their lack of in vivo activity on a murine model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infect ...
Lead-free, potassium sodium niobate piezoelectric ceramics substituted with lithium (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)NbO3 or lithium and tantalum (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)(Nb1-y,Ta-y)O-3 have been synthesized by traditional solid state sintering. The compositions ...
Healthy human beings are aware of their current position space and are able to distinguish their own body from that of other persons or objects. This capability arises from a coupling of sensory information with cognitive processes, and leads to a represen ...
Background—Objective, quantitative, segmental noninvasive/bedside measurement of cardiac motion is highly desirable in cardiovascular medicine, but current technology suffers from significant drawbacks, such as subjectivity of conventional echocardiographi ...
We have recently reported that Notch 1, a member of the Notch multigene family, is essential for the development of murine T cells. Using a mouse model in which Notch 1 is inactivated in bone marrow (BM) precursors we have shown that B cells instead of T c ...
We have recently reported the attachment and spreading of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) upon substrates containing covalently grafted Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptide (Hubbell, J. A., Massia, S. P., Desai, N. P., and Drumheller, P. D. (1991 ...
A phenomenological model was proposed which describes frequency dispersion of nonlinear dielectric response of relaxer ferroelectrics (relaxors) as a result of dispersion of their linens dielectric permittivity. The model was applied to Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 ( ...
The issue of mechanical resistance of optical fibers irradiated by UV laser sources has been recently reported. An important mechanical degradation as expressed by the decrease of median breaking strength and the widening of the Weibull distribution has be ...
A set of adjustments to the data library used in conjunction with the U.S. wims code was recently reported by Halsall. The relatively large effects of the recommended data changes on the prediction of LWHCR neutron-balance components are discussed in the c ...
