Superconvergence phenomenon of the Legendre spectral collocation method and the p-version finite element method is discussed under the one dimensional setting. For a class of functions that satisfy a regularity condition (M): ‖u‖L∞ ≤ cMk on a bounded domain, it is demonstrated, both theoretically and numerically, that the optimal convergent rate is supergeometric. Furthermore, at proper Gaussia...

A variety of metal nitrates were filled into the pores of an ordered mesoporous CMK-3 carbon matrix by solution-based impregnation. Thermal conversion of the metal nitrates into the respective metal oxides, and subsequent removal of the carbon matrix by thermal combustion, provides a versatile means to prepare mesoporous metal oxides (so-called nanocasting). This study aims to monitor the therm...

During the late phase of megakaryopoiesis, megakaryocytes undergo polyploidization, which is characterized by DNA duplication without concomitant cell division. However, it remains unknown by which mechanisms this process occurs. AIM-1 and STK15 belong to the Aurora/increase-in-ploidy (Ipl)1 serine/threonine kinase family and play key roles in mitosis. In a human interleukin-3-dependent cell li...

In subacute cutaneous lupus eryhematosus (SCLE) the cutaneous antigens constitute the main source of Ro and La autoantigens. The aim of this investigation was to demonstrate if UV light increases the availability of Ro autoantigen in the skin, also the blocking effect of Ac-DEVD-CMK a caspase inhibitor was assessed. For this purpose newborn Balb/c mice were UVB irradiated (5-30 mJ/cm(2)) equiva...

A mesoporous Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /C nanocomposite is synthesized by a nanocasting technique using the porous carbon material CMK-3 as a hard template. Modifi ed CMK-3 template is impregnated with Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 precursor, followed by heat treatment at 750 ° C for 6 h under N 2 . Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanocrystals of up to several tens of nanometers are successfully synthesized in micrometer-sized porous ca...

Furin is a member of the pro-protein convertase family. It processes several growth regulatory proteins into their active forms, which are critical to tumor progression, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Furin over-expression could occur in liver cancer and a previous study showed that over-expression of furin promoted HepG2 cell invasion in tail vein xenograft models. However, the clinical relevan...

PURPOSE To investigate whether interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE), a mammalian homologue of the Caenorhabditis elegans cell death gene ced-3, is involved in gamma-irradiation-induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) of human retinoblastoma cells. METHODS The induction of apoptotic cell death in human retinoblastoma cell lines WERI-Rb-1 and Y79 by gamma-irradiation was determined with ...

Organic carbonyl electrode materials of lithium batteries have shown multifunctional molecule design and high capacity, but have the problems of poor cycling and low rate performance due to their high solubility in traditional carbonate-based electrolytes and low conductivity. High-performance organic lithium batteries with modified ether-based electrolyte (2 m LiN(CF3SO2)2 in 1,3-dioxolane/dim...

İnceleme, ceza muhakemesi hukukunun ilkeleri gözetilerek yalnızca yargılamasında sınırlı olacaktır. çalışmayı hazırlamak için tespit ettiğimiz ana sorun, çalışmanın ilerleyen bölümlerinde detaylıca inceleneceği üzere, AY m....

Many different biochemical signaling pathways regulate integrin activation through the integrin cytoplasmic tail. Here, we describe a new role for α-actinin in inside-out integrin activation. In resting human platelets, α-actinin was associated with αIIbβ3, whereas inside-out signaling (αIIbβ3 activation signals) from protease-activated receptors (PARs) dephosphorylated and dissociated α-actini...
