Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) can be induced in the Lewis rat by cardiac myosin or its cryptic S2-16 peptide epitope (amino acids 1052 to 1076). To investigate cellular mechanisms and the role of antigen-presenting cells in regulation of myocarditis, we induced protection against EAM in Lewis rats by administration of S2-16 peptide in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA). Protection t...

The purpose of this study was to expand our knowledge of small RNAs, which are known to function within protein complexes to modulate the transcriptional output of the cell. Here we describe two previously unrecognized, small RNAs, termed pY RNA1-s1 and pY RNA1-s2 (processed Y RNA1-stem -1 and -2), thereby expanding the list of known small RNAs. pY RNA1-s1 and pY RNA1-s2 were discovered by RNA ...

For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: X denotes a non empty set, F denotes a sequence of partial functions from X into R with the same dom, s1, s2, s3 denote sequences of extended reals, x denotes an element of X, a, r denote extended real numbers, and n, m, k denote natural numbers. We now state several propositions: (1) If for every natural number n holds s2(n) ≤ s3(n), then inf rng s...

A partial order is called semilinear iff the upper bounds of each element are linearly ordered and any two elements have a common upper bound. There exists, up to isomorphism, a unique countable semilinear order which is dense, unbounded, binary branching, and without joins, which we denote by (S2;≤). We study the reducts of (S2;≤), that is, the relational structures with domain S2, all of whos...

Mesh is one of the most commonly used interconnection networks and, therefore, embedding between different meshes becomes a basic embedding problem. Not only does an efficient embedding between meshes allow one mesh-connected computing system to efficiently simulate another, but it also provides a useful tool for solving other embedding problems. In this paper, we study how to embed an s1 × t1 ...

To evaluate the relationship between total organic carbon (TOC) and Rock-Eval S2 (petroleum potential) of petroleum source rocks, atotal of 180 outcrop samples from the black organic matter–rich facies of Mesozoic strata from a locality of southwest of Iran wereinvestigated using Rock-Eval VI pyrolysis and Leco Carbon Analyzer. The linear regression is applied to determine the correlationbetwee...

in descriptive statistics, there are two computational algorithms for determining the variance s2, of a set of observations : algorithm 1: s2= - , algorithm 2: s2= , where . it is interesting to discuss, which of the above formulas is numerically more trustworthy in machine numbers sets. i this paper, based on total effect of rounding error, we prove that the second algorithm is better than ...
