A gene encoding the rice 16.9-kDa class I low-molecular-mass (LMM) heat-shock protein (HSP), Oshsp16.9, was introduced into Escherichia coli using the pGEX-2T expression vector to analyze the possible function of this LMM HSP under heat stress. It is known that E. coli does not normally produce class I LMM HSPs. We compared the survivability of E. coli XL1-Blue cells transformed with a recombin...

The assembly of myosins into filaments is a property common to all conventional myosins. The ability of myosins to form filaments is conferred by the tail of the large asymmetric molecule. We are studying cloned portions of the Dictyostelium myosin gene expressed in Escherichia coli to investigate functional properties of defined segments of the myosin tail. We have focused on five segments der...

Lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo-maligna melanoma (LMM) are pigmented skin lesions that may exist on a continuous clinical and pathological spectrum of melanocytic skin cancer. LM is often described as a "benign" lesion and is accepted as a melanoma in situ; LM can undergo malignant transformation to particularly aggressive melanoma. LMM is an invasive melanoma that shares properties of LM, as ...

Though rare, direct invasion of CNS by the myeloma cells has been reported. Currently, 70 cases of leptomeningeal myelomatosis (LMM) and intraparenchymal plasmacytoma have been published [1,2]. Schluterman et.al. published a case series of 23 patients. They were diagnosed up to 29 months (median, 13 months) after the initial diagnosis of MM. The presenting symptom in 65% of the patients was AMS...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to quantitatively evaluate the validity of ultrasonographic (US) muscle measurements as compared to the gold standard of computed tomography (CT) in the canine. DESIGN This was a prospective study. POPULATION Twenty-five, client-owned dogs scheduled for CT as part of a diagnostic work-up for the management of their primary disease process were included. MATERIA...

The local minimax method (LMM) proposed by Li and Zhou (2001) (2002) is an efficient to solve nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with certain variational structures for multiple solutions. steepest descent direction the Armijo-type step-size search rules are adopted in play a significant role performance convergence analysis of traditional LMMs. In this paper, new algorith...

A new sub-pixel target detection algorithm is developed that integrates a linear mixing model (LMM) with the p o w e f i l "RX" anomaly detector of Reed and Y u (1990). RX i s applied to mixing model errors instead of to measured radiances, because they are more nearly multivariate Gaussian. The integrated method consistently outperforms spectral anomaly detectors that are based on either RX or...

The operation of power systems needs uninterrupted and precise wide-area real-time monitoring for secure automated control networks, therefore, there is a requirement robust state estimation (SE) by the smart centre. An iterative free static (IFSSE) scheme developed using linear measurement model (LMM) in this paper microgrids (MGs) integrating distributed generation energy resources (DGERs). I...

Large-scale biobanks are being collected around the world in efforts to better understand human health and risk factors for disease. They often survey hundreds of thousands of individuals, combining questionnaires with clinical, genetic, demographic, and imaging assessments; some of this data may be collected longitudinally. Genetic associations analysis of such datasets requires methods to pro...

Abstract We analysed the effects of weather and climatic patterns on productivity White Stork in Hungary between 1958 2017, using i) linear mixed effect models (LMM), ii) LMM-s extended by a single random variable or nested combination; iii) fixed iv) an additive model selected variables. As preselection, following variables were identified with substantial support: March mean temperature, prec...
