ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Received 22 November 2010 Accepted 7 February 2011 Available online 11 April 2011 Examples of interand intramolecular direct co-functioning of lectins and enzymes are summarized. The data indicate importance of lectin-enzyme relationships in molecular and clinical microbiology and medical biotechnology. Lectin-enzyme relationships have extended prospects i...

PURPOSE Detection of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and/or brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to investigate functional defect of brain caused by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. In this report, we attempted to demonstrate the correlation of changes in brain singlephoton emission computed tomography (SPECT) and diffusion-tensor MR image (DTI) with functional improvement of...

The objective was to determine the association between stroke and depression, the co-occurrence of stroke and depression, and functional health outcomes among adults in the US population. Data were drawn from the Midlife Development in the United States Study (MIDUS) (N = 3032), a nationally representative sample of adults age 25 to 74. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determi...

The intestine forms the largest interface between the environment and the human organism. Its integrity and functioning are crucial for the uptake of nutrients while preventing access of harmful antigens. Inflammatory conditions can significantly change the normal functioning of the intestine. In vitro models that adequately reproduce both healthy and inflamed intestinal tissue could provide a ...

A multimethod approach was used to examine relations between marital violence, coparenting, and family-level processes and children's adjustment in a community-based sample of marital violence. Two hypotheses were tested, one in which family-level and co-parenting processes mediate relations between marital violence and child functioning and one in which marital violence and family-level/co-par...

Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that regulates the function of numerous oncogenic transcription factors and signalling intermediates in the cell. Inhibition of Hsp90 is sufficient to induce the proteosomal degradation of many of these proteins, and as such, the Hsp90 chaperone has been regarded as a promising drug target. The appropriate functioning of the Hsp90 chaperone is dependent on its ATP...

MOTIVATION To define V3 genetic elements and structural features underlying different HIV-1 co-receptor usage in vivo. RESULTS By probabilistically modeling mutations in the viruses isolated from HIV-1 B subtype patients, we present a unique statistical procedure that would first identify V3 determinants associated with the usage of different co-receptors cooperatively or independently, and t...

Within Multi Agent Systems, communication by means of Agent Communication Languages has a key role to play in the co-operation, co-ordination and knowledge-sharing between agents. Despite this, complex reasoning about agent messaging and specifically about conversations between agents, tends not to have widespread support amongst general-purpose agent programming languages. ACRE (Agent Communic...

The extremely important discovery of Joliot and co-workers (1969) showed that after several minutes dark incubation of unicellular algae suspensions or of isolated chloroplasts, the first flash does not lead to oxygen evolution, and the yields from the succeeding flashes show damping oscillations with a maximum after the third flash and a periodicity of four flashes. These results were used by ...

Within Multi Agent Systems, communication by means of Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) has a key role to play in the co-operation, co-ordination and knowledge-sharing between agents. Despite this, complex reasoning about agent messaging, and specifically about conversations between agents, tends not to have widespread support amongst general-purpose agent programming languages. ACRE (Agent ...
