Cryptosporidium and Giardia are two important pathogenic parasites that have caused many waterborne outbreaks which affected hundreds of thousands of people. Contamination from effluent discharged by sewage treatment plants have been implicated in previous waterborne outbreaks of Cryptosporidium and Giardia. This study evaluated the reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia (oo)cysts in two sewa...

Members of the LIM homeodomain family of transcription factors have been implicated in specifying cell identity in a range of species. In Drosophila three LIM homeobox genes, apterous, lim3 and isl, have been shown to control axon pathfinding of subsets of neurons within the embryo. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of another LIM homeobox gene in Drosophila termed dlim1, a ho...

Nuclear LIM domains interact with a family of coregulators referred to as Clim/Ldb/Nli. Although one family member, Clim-2/Ldb-1/Nli, is highly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes, no nuclear LIM domain factor is known to be expressed in epidermis. Therefore, we used the conserved LIM-interaction domain of Clim coregulators to screen for LIM domain factors in adult and embryonic mouse skin exp...

The LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) family of transcription factors is well known for its functions during several developmental processes including cell fate specification, cell migration and axon guidance, and its members play fundamental roles in hippocampal development. The hippocampus is a structure that displays striking activity dependent plasticity. We examined whether LIM-HD genes and their c...

This important result is listed in the theorem on the next page. Note that the derivative of the vector-valued function is itself a vector-valued function. You can see from Figure 12.8 that is a vector tangent to the curve given by and pointing in the direction of increasing values. tr t r t r f t i g t j lim t→0 f t t f t t i lim t→0 g t t g t t j lim t→0 f t t f t t i g t t g t t j lim t→0 f ...

In 1974, Lim 1 developed a result concerning the existence of fixed points for multivalued nonexpansive self-mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. This result was extended to nonself-mappings satisfying the inwardness condition independently by Downing and Kirk 2 and Reich 3 . This result was extended to weak inward mappings independently by Lim 4 and Xu 5 . Recently, Dhompongsa et al. 6 ...

Islet-2 is a LIM/homeodomain-type transcription factor of the Islet-1 family expressed in embryonic zebrafish. Two Islet-2 molecules bind to the LIM domain binding protein (Ldb) dimers. Overexpression of the LIM domains of Islet-2 or the LIM-interacting domain of Ldb proteins prevented binding of Islet-2 to Ldb proteins in vitro and caused similar in vivo defects in positioning, peripheral axon...

N-RAP is a muscle-specific protein with an N-terminal LIM domain (LIM), C-terminal actin-binding super repeats homologous to nebulin (SR) and nebulin-related simple repeats (IB) in between the two. Based on biochemical data, immunofluorescence analysis of cultured embryonic chick cardiomyocytes and the targeting and phenotypic effects of these individual GFP-tagged regions of N-RAP, we proposed...
