It has recently emerged that posttranslational modification of proteins via nitration of tyrosine residues can alter their function. In this study, we describe that specific nitration of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) by NCX-1015, a novel NO-donating prednisolone derivative (prednisolone 21-[4'-(nitrooxymethyl)benzoate), results in an enhancement of GR-mediated events. Incubation of PBMC and ...

Since the advent of the Internet, and in particular the development of the interactive version of the web, Web 2.0, use of Social Media has developed into a major strategy for businesses and organizations such as the IFCC to use for the purposes of Public Relations and Education. The early Internet 'Web 1.0' was a largely static environment which did not allow interaction between organizations ...

Daily administration of prednisolone, but not the derivative NCX-1015 (or prednisolone 21-[4'-nitrooxymethyl]benzoate), to rats resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), significant after 1 week for the dose of 6.9 micromol/kg i.p. (n = 10; P < 0.05), and 3 weeks for the lower dose of 1.38 micromol/kg. A similar dichotomy of behavior was observed wi...

Tailoring content to consumers has become a hallmark of marketing and digital media, particularly as it has become easier to identify customers across usage or purchase occasions. However, across a wide variety of contexts, companies find that customers do not consistently identify themselves, leaving a substantial fraction of anonymous visits. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model that allo...

The Master’s of Public Health (MPH) degree is growing in popularity among a number of higher education institutions throughout the world as a distance education graduate program. This paper offers an overview of program design and development strategies that promote successful distance delivery of MPH programs. Design and development challenges are discussed in terms of type of distance deliver...

This study focuses on the perceptions of Internal Marketing in the higher education sector of Australian Capital Territory and Regional New South Wales in Australia. This is a pilot study and therefore the sample size is small. There are two reasons for study. The first is to investigate whether this relatively new concept of Internal Marketing is being applied in the education sector or not. T...
