Extraction of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) or baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells with 1% Triton X-100 and 0.6 M KCl leaves an insoluble cytoskeletal residue composed primarily of the 52,000 Mr subunit of intermediate filaments (F-IFP). In addition, CEF cytoskeletons exhibit a minor component with Mr of 50,000, identified as alpha-desmin, one of the two major isoelectric variants of the interme...

In this report, we prove the undecidability of Core XPath 1.0 (CXP) [6] extended with an Inflationary Fixed Point (IFP) operator. We prove that the satisfiability problem of this language is undecidable. In fact, the fragment of CXP+IFP containing only the self and descendant axes is already undecidable.

Let p be a prime and let E(IFp) be an elliptic curve defined over the finite field IFp of p elements. For a given point G ∈ E(IFp) the linear congruential genarator on elliptic curves (EC-LCG) is a sequence (Un) of pseudorandom numbers defined by the relation Un = Un−1 ⊕G = nG⊕ U0, n = 1, 2, . . . , where ⊕ denote the group operation in E(IFp) and U0 ∈ E(IFp) is the initial value or seed. We sh...

It has been shown that interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is elevated in many solid tumors. The elevated IFP in tumors is responsible, at least in part, for the poor blood supply, inadequate delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and poor treatment response in patients. The present study was carried out to examine alterations in malignant phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells ...

High microvascular density (MVD) in the primary tumor has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of lymph node metastases and poor clinical outcome. Other investigations have revealed that a large fraction of hypoxic tissue in the primary tumor is associated with metastatic disease and impaired survival. These data are apparently incompatible because tumor hypoxia is primarily a c...

Developmentally aged chicken embryo cells which hyperproduce interferon (IFN) when induced were used to quantify IFN production and its suppression by eight strains of type A influenza viruses (AIV). Over 90% of the IFN-inducing or IFN induction-suppressing activity of AIV populations resided in noninfectious particles. The IFN-inducer moiety of AIV appears to preexist in, or be generated by, v...

BACKGROUND Anterior knee pain (AKP) encompasses a range of pathologies. As a result, there are a number of therapeutic options used to treat AKP. The non-operative treatments have been analysed in a number of randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. There is however a scarcity of such publications covering the surgical management of AKP. There are no systematic reviews that have inv...

Time eigenvalues emerge in several key applications related to neutron transport problems, including reactor start-up and reactivity measurements. In this context, experimental validation uncertainty quantification would demand assess the variation of dominant time eigenvalue response a nuclear data. Recently, we proposed use Generalized Iterated Fission Probability method (G-IFP) compute adjoi...
