With the DS record [5] the concept of key-signing and zone-signing keys has been introduced. Key-signing keys are the keys that sign the keyset only. In general, key-signing keys are the keys that are pointed to by DS records and are the first keys to be used when following a chain of trust into the zone. The key-signing keys only sign the KEY RRset at the apex of a zone, zonesigning keys sign ...

BACKGROUND The ability of Taenia solium to modulate the immune system likely contributes to their longevity in the human host. We tested the hypothesis that the nature of the immune response is related to the location of parasite and clinical manifestations of infection. METHODOLOGY Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from untreated patients with neurocysticercosis (NCC), ...

Unlike stable cratons elsewhere in the world, lithosphere is strongly thinned east of both North China Craton (NCC) and Yangtze (YZC) compared with west. We deployed four active-source onshore-offshore wide-angle seismic survey lines eastern NCC YZC from 2010 to 2016 aim revealing mechanism lithospheric thinning process collision between YZC. obtained high-resolution crustal P-wave velocity mod...

Normal form games are nearly compact and continuous (NCC) if they can be understood as games played on strategy spaces that are dense subsets of the strategy spaces of larger compact games with jointly continuous payoffs. There are intrinsic algebraic, measure theoretic, functional analysis, and finite approximability characterizations of NCC games. NCC games have finitely additive equilibria, ...

Recent scientific work aiming to give a neurobiological explanation of phenomenal consciousness has largely focused on finding neural correlates of consciousness (NCC). The hope is that by locating neural correlates of phenomenally conscious mental states, some light will be cast on how the brain is able to give rise to such states. In this paper I argue that NCC research is unable to produce e...

This poster carries out two main contributions: (a) a lazy (or local) version of naive credal classifier (NCC) that we call lazy naive credal classifier (LNCC); (b) two metrics to compare credal classifiers. NCC [1] has extended naive Bayes (NB) to imprecise probabilities, by modeling prior ignorance via the Imprecise Dirichlet Model; the classification is eventually issued by returning the non...

The reabsorption of salt in the distal nephron is predominantly mediated via the thiazide-sensitive sodium chroride cotransporter, NCC (SLC12A3), and the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger pendrin (SLC26A4, PDS), with pendrin working in tandem with the epithelial sodium channel and NCC working by itself. Single deletion of NCC or pendrin in genetically engineered mouse models does not cause salt wa...

Cell migration is essential for proper development of numerous structures derived from embryonic neural crest cells (NCCs). Although the migratory pathways of NCCs have been determined, the molecular mechanisms regulating NCC motility remain unclear. NCC migration is integrin dependent, and recent work has shown that surface expression levels of particular integrin alpha subunits are important ...

Fall leaves of the common wych elm tree (Ulmus glabra) were studied with respect to chlorophyll catabolites. Over a dozen colorless, non-fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs) and several yellow chlorophyll catabolites (YCCs) were identified tentatively. Three NCC fractions were isolated and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic means. Two of these, Ug-NCC-27 and Ug-NCC-43, c...

Amyloidogenic protein aggregation impairs cell function and is a hallmark of many chronic degenerative disorders. Protein aggregation is also a major event during acute injury; however, unlike amyloidogenesis, the process of injury-induced protein aggregation remains largely undefined. To provide this insight, we profiled the insoluble proteome of several cell types after acute injury. These ex...
