The oxygen carrier hemocyanin occurs in the blood of Scutigera coleoptrata, a uniramous arthropod, as well as the crustaceans and chelicerates. The native polymer appears to be composed of substructures having the same size and electron-dense image as those of other arthropod hemocyanins but assembled into a unique multiple and arranged in a unique configuration. The simplest explanation of the...

K-SEC(Korean-Spoken English Corpus) is a kind of speech database that is under construction by the authors of this paper. This article discusses the needs of the K-SEC from various academic disciplines and industrial circles, and it introduces the characteristics of the K-SEC design, its catalogues and contents of the recorded database, exemplifying what are being considered from both Korean an...

The measurement of semantic similarity has been widely recognized as having a fundamental and key role in information science and information systems. Although various models have been proposed to measure semantic similarity, these models are not able effectively to quantify the weights of relevant factors that impact on the judgement of semantic similarity, such as the attributes of concepts, ...

Increased expression of endothelin (ET)–1 has been well described in heart failure and has been thought to potentiate the progression of this disorder through hemodynamic effects as well as vascular and cardiac remodeling.1,2 Investigations of heart failure animal models3,4 as well as early clinical studies5–7 supported a potential beneficial effect of ET-1 blockade in heart failure. On the bas...

Whole-tree O3 uptake was exemplified for Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica and Larix decidua in stands at high and low altitude and contrasting water availability through sap flow measurement in tree trunks, intrinsically accounting for drought and boundary layer effects on O3 flux. O3 uptake of evergreen spruce per unit foliage area was enhanced by 100% at high relative to low elevation, whereas de...

We investigate some new inequalities by estimating the rate of convergence means complete modulus continuity and a class Lipschitz functions for bivariate Bernstein-type operator including Bézier basis present an example numerical results comparing its convergence. Moreover, we introduce GBS (Generalized Boolean Sum) obtain with help mixed Bögel continuous exemplifying results. Our research wil...

In medicine, anatomy is considered as the most discussed field and results in a huge amount of knowledge, which is heterogeneous and covers aspects that are mostly independent in nature. Visual and symbolic modalities are mainly adopted for exemplifying knowledge about human anatomy and are crucial for the evolution of computational anatomy. In particular, a tight integration of visual and symb...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the archetypal pediatric vasculitis, exemplifying the unique aspects and challenges of vascular inflammation in children. The condition is almost unheard of in adults, is closely associated with infections, and is self-limited, with fever resolving after an average of 12 days even without treatment. Yet KD is also a potentially fatal disease and the most common cause of...

In this paper, we introduce the theory of trait Emotional Intelligence (‘trait EI’) as a personality theory that could assist in exemplifying the gamers’ profile and contribute to the design of player-center game experiences. Data from two studies (a game-specific and a game-general one) led to a number of playercentered playability principles that could inform the design of adaptable games and...

Recent years have seen an increasing number of biological applications of single molecule techniques, evolving from a proof of principle type to the more sophisticated studies. Here we compare the capabilities and limitations of different single molecule techniques in studying the activities of helicases. Helicases share a common catalytic activity but present a high variability in kinetic and ...
