Using a rat model we have previously proposed a role for fibronectin as an adhesive ligand on high endothelial cells (HEC) for recirculating lymphocytes. Lymphocyte adhesion to high endothelial cells was blocked by CS1 peptide (from the type IH connecting segment of fibronectin) and RGD-containing peptides using two different in vitro assays of lymphocyte-HEC recognition, the frozen section ass...

In this research, The boundaries of the Koya catchment area have been delineated, and valley paths in region were drawn by using Water Modeling System (WMS) software, Analysis morphometric information indicated that characteristics watersheds contribute to floods. average surface runoff depth depends on curve number values are determined based types soil cover class according Harmonized World S...

Abstract Flood catastrophe continuously hit Malaysia through monsoonal flood and flash as well posing threat towards people, infrastructure environment. Batu Pahat is among the district in Johor affected by disaster for almost every year. This study conducted to determine hydraulic hydrological characteristic ability of drainage system Parit Besar Jalan Pontian-Batu catchment area at using HEC-...

The development of human endometrial carcinoma (HEC) is a complex pathologic process involves several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. The full-length paired-box gene 2 (pax2), a recently discovered oncogene, promotes cell proliferation and growth and inhibits apoptosis of HEC cells. Here, we examined the effect of pax2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the growth of transplanted HEC cells ...

The mixed land covers encompassing bridges (MLB) are integral indicator of the socio-economic hydrological system, and their progressions vital for flood risk assessment. However, most previous studies have neglected a thorough evaluation MLBs (e.g., types, areas, depths) on impacting vulnerability. This paper addresses this research gap by methodically assessing spatial characteristics in floo...

In the present study, we have in situ synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) on hydroxyethyl cellulose/soy protein isolate (HEC/SPI) sponges to construct electro-conductive HEC/SPI/PPy composite (EHSS-Pn, n > 0). The were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, conductivity and mechanical tests. results indicated that EHSS-Pn still exhibi...

A watershed simulation and forecasting system is widely used in Finland for simulation of hydrological cycle and for making real-time forecasts. The system is based on a watershed model. This was based originally on the HBV-model and simulates the hydrological cycle using standard meteorological data. The model simulates the whole land area of Finland, including cross-border watersheds. This is...
