Microand nanorods of potassium acid phthalate (KAP) with diameters ranging from a hundred nanometers to tens of microns were obtained by solution crystallization in the channels of ion-track membranes. The template consists of a polymer foil irradiated with energetic heavy ions and subsequently track-etched to dissolve the tracks and create open cylindrical channels. The pores are then filled w...

Prevention and management of obesity largely depends on patient motivation and education and these, in turn, can be greatly facilitated by adequate baseline data on the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of patients. The aim of this study is to assess KAP on obesity among Bangladeshi type 2 diabetics. Under a cross-sectional design 160 type 2 diabetics were selected from outpatient departme...

The COVID-19 outbreak, which originated in China, has spread to all countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Until July 2021, the growth rate been gradually increasing, and cases have found 34 provinces of This cross-sectional study aimed investigate knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) health personnel public centers towards outbreak Indonesia using online self-report questionnaires. A total...

Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) signaling is essential for the repair of a subset of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs); however, its precise role is unclear. Here, we show that < or =25% of DSBs require ATM signaling for repair, and this percentage correlates with increased chromatin but not damage complexity. Importantly, we demonstrate that heterochromatic DSBs are generally repaired more s...

The braid group with its conjugacy problem is one of the recent hot issues in cryptography. At CT-RSA 2001, Anshel, Anshel, Fisher, and Goldfeld proposed a commutator key agreement protocol (KAP) based on the braid groups and their colored Burau representation. Its security is based on the multiple simultaneous conjugacy problem (MSCP) plus a newly adopted key extractor. This article shows how ...

A KAP ( Knowledge, Attitude and Perception) study on dairy farmers of Punjab was conducted to have the idea of their knowledge on animal welfare practice during transportation. A total of 200 dairy farmers across the state were randomly selected for the said study. Dairy farmers were asked to answer the 27 questions comprising of open ended question and multiple choice questions, fill in the bl...

Protein kinases are an important class of substrate of the protein phosphatases. We have examined the mechanism of dephosphorylation of the activation segments of the insulin receptor kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 by their respective phosphatases, namely the tyrosine specific phosphatase PTP1B and the dual specificity phosphatase KAP. These studies reveal that PTP1B and KAP utilize contr...

DNA NHEJ (non-homologous end-joining) is the major DNA DSB (double-strand break) repair pathway in mammalian cells. Although NHEJ-defective cell lines show marked DSB-repair defects, cells defective in ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) repair most DSBs normally. Thus NHEJ functions independently of ATM signalling. However, approximately 15% of radiation-induced DSBs are repaired with slow kin...

BACKGROUND Though 85% of financing HIV/AIDS program was domestic resources, Global Fund (GF) programs played a significant role in prevention interventions and treatment for non-Thai Key Affected Populations (KAP) and migrants. As upper-middle income country, Thailand is not eligible for GF support. This study identified the remaining challenges and funding for prevention interventions for Thai...

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a bidirectional process required for assembly and maintenance of cilia and flagella. Kinesin-2 is the anterograde IFT motor, and Dhc1b/Dhc2 drives retrograde IFT. To understand how either motor interacts with the IFT particle or how their activities might be coordinated, we characterized a ts mutation in the Chlamydomonas gene encoding KAP, the nonmotor subunit...
