Particulate matter (PM) is known as a major concern for human health because it closely associated with mortality and morbidity from respiratory cardio- neurovascular diseases. Recently, has been reported that PM can aggravate allergic skin diseases by affecting the barrier or inducing inflammation. Along our previous reports promotes melanin production via ER-mediated IRE1α signaling pathway, ...

The main goal of this study was to verify the best combination density, moisture content, and feed speed on surface quality Pinus elliottii boards aimed at deck manufacturing. secondary compare three methods assessment. Tangential were sampled sorted by density (level 1: 414 kg·m–³ 525 kg·m–³; level 2: 526 668 kg·m–³) content 13.5% 17.5%; 17.6% 20.0%). A four-side planer molder used, levels (15...

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA was detected in 7 (1.3%) of 526 respiratory tract samples from patients in Australia with upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms. Partial T antigen and major capsid protein sequences of MCPyV identified in respiratory secretions showed high homology (99%-100%) to those found in Merkel cell carcinoma.

Connes and Cuntz showed in [Comm. Math. Phys. 114 (1988), 515–526] that suitable cyclic cocycles can be represented as Chern characters of finitely summable semifinite Fredholm modules. We show an analogous result in twisted cyclic cohomology using Chern characters of modular Fredholm modules. We present examples of modular Fredholm modules arising from Podleś spheres and from SUq(2).

Peptide nucleic acid-mediated competitive PCR clamping, which can selectively amplify mutant alleles, was developed to detect mutations in four codons (513, 516, 526, and 531) of the rpoB gene in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. This simple method successfully identified the mutations in all 40 of the M. tuberculosis strains tested.
