A striking variety of glycosylation occur in the Golgi complex in a protein-specific manner, but how this diversity and specificity are achieved remains unclear. Here we show that stacked fragments (units) of the Golgi complex dispersed in Drosophila imaginal disk cells are functionally diverse. The UDP-sugar transporter FRINGE-CONNECTION (FRC) is localized to a subset of the Golgi units distin...

Dispersive soils are a common problematic soil that may pose engineering distress if not adequately taken care of. On the other hand, stabilization of with waste materials has recently gained more interest from an environmental and sustainable point view. Hence, this study utilized sulfur-free lignin (SFL), which is bioethanol-based by-product, to improve dispersive silt clay investigated effec...

Locating faults in a program is prohibitively timeconsuming and tedious, and therefore, many automated fault localization techniques have been proposed to assist in the debugging process. Spectrum based fault localization are promising techniques that can guide developers to the possible locations of faults. These techniques make a summary on the number of passing and failing tests cases to pri...

The effect of the solvents for silk fibroin (SF) extraction on its antimicrobial activity was studied. Extraction protocols were performed using LiBr (SFL) and Ajisawa's reagent (CaCl2:ethanol:H2O) (SFC). The morphological and structural characteristics of the extracted SF and their composites were assessed. Corresponding bactericidal activities against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Esche...

PrP(C), a host protein which in prion-infected animals is converted to PrP(Sc), is linked to the cell membrane by a GPI anchor. Mice expressing PrP(C) without GPI anchor (tgGPI⁻ mice), are susceptible to prion infection but accumulate anchorless PrP(Sc) extra-, rather than intracellularly. We investigated whether tgGPI⁻ mice could faithfully propagate prion strains despite the deviant structure...

Spectrum-based fault localization (SFL) shortens the test-diagnose-repair cycle by reducing the debugging effort. As a light-weight automated diagnosis technique it can easily be integrated with existing testing schemes. Since SFL is based on discovering statistical coincidences between system failures and the activity of the different parts of a system, its diagnostic accuracy is inherently li...
