Development of a functional HTS assay for the APJ receptor

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

the impact of morphological awareness on the vocabulary development of the iranian efl students

this study investigated the impact of explicit instruction of morphemic analysis and synthesis on the vocabulary development of the students. the participants were 90 junior high school students divided into two experimental groups and one control group. morphological awareness techniques (analysis/synthesis) and conventional techniques were used to teach vocabulary in the experimental groups a...

Development of an HTS-compatible assay for the discovery of ASK1 signalosome inhibitors using alphascreen technology.

Genetic target validation studies have demonstrated that the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) represents an important target for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, cardiac diseases, and several neurodegenerative disorders. To identify small-molecule inhibitors of ASK1, we have developed a high-throughput screening-compatible, homogenous, biochemical assay using AlphaScreen techno...
