Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during an emotional Stroop task were measured in two groups of participants: 14 participants who had experienced the great Sichuan earthquake (earthquake group) and 14 participants who did not experience the earthquake (control group). ERP data showed that negative words elicited a more negative P2 than positive words in the earthquake group. Moreover, nega...

Matriptase is a type II transmembrane serine protease comprising 855 amino acid residues. The extracellular region of matriptase comprises a noncatalytic stem domain (containing two tandem repeats of complement proteases C1r/C1s-urchin embryonic growth factor-bone morphogenetic protein (CUB) domain) and a catalytic serine protease domain. The stem domain of matriptase contains site(s) for facil...

The transport of vesicular organelles along microtubules has been well documented in a variety of systems, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. We have developed a method for preparing extracts from Dictyostelium discoideum which supports high levels of bidirectional, microtubule-based vesicle transport in vitro. This organelle transport assay was also a...

The fine particulate matter (PM) emitted from jet aircraft poses a serious threat to the environment and human health which can be mitigated by using biofuels. This paper aims quantify PM emissions small turbofan fueled with alcohol (ATJ) synthetic kerosene its various blends (5%, 20%, 30% of ATJ) Jet A-1 fuel. Emissions engine (DGEN 380) high bypass ratio, applicable in private jets, were stud...
