Nanoparticles conjugated with d-maltoheptaose (G7) showed a striking increase in the internalization by Escherichia coli. This applies to strains with and without the maltodextrin transport channel and particles ranging from a few to a hundred nanometers.

Supplementing brain cholesterol is emerging as a potential treatment for Huntington's disease (HD), genetic neurodegenerative disorder characterized, among other abnormalities, by inefficient biosynthesis. However, delivering to the challenging due blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents it from reaching striatum, especially, with therapeutically relevant doses. Here we describe distribution,...

During the last decades, the financial markets volatility concept attracted the attention of the theorists and the experts in the field of finance, especially for the internationally diversified wallets. In this article, we used an asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation (DCC-GARCH (1.1)) model following the approach of Engle (2002), to test if the volatility of individual market or their re...

The purpose of this study is to apply the G7 method for calibration on a four-color flexographic press. G7 controls and calibrates a press using colorimetric values rather than tone value increase. Two press runs were completed to calibrate a flexographic press. The first press run provided data for creating a control curve called Neutral Print Density Curve (NPDC) for the press run with a spec...

Investigations have been carried out to probe the interactions between double-stranded DNA and amineterminated, ethylenediamine core polyamidoamine starburst dendrimers generation 2 (G2), generation 4 (G4), and generation 7 (G7). Ethidium bromide is used as a fluorescent probe for this study. Under our experimental conditions, the results show that there is mainly one binding mode between ethid...

Available online 30 April 2015 This paper tests the relation between expected excess stock returns and illiquidity risk in G7 markets. By conducting panel regressions on monthly data for 20 years, evidence shows that excess stock returns of the G7 countries are positively correlated with market illiquidity risk, but are negatively correlated with the innovation of firm-level illiquidity. Applyi...

Human leukocyte antigen-G which is an immune tolerance effecter molecule has an important role in the maintenance of fetus during pregnancy. Abortion is one of the complications of pregnancy period.  In this research, we have studied levels of HLA-G 5, HLA-G7 isoforms in the abortion-threatened pregnant women in comparison with controls. In a case-control study, 101 abortion-threatened women an...

The rising current account deficit in the USA has attracted considerable attention in recent years. We use the “business cycle accounting” methodology to identify the principal distortions that have affected the external accounts of the US. In particular, we measure distortions in the optimality conditions of a simple two-country general equilibrium model using data from the US and the other G7...
