Problem statement: The study of Malaysian Arabic phoneme is rarely found which make the references work difficult. Specific guideline on Malaysian subject is not found even though a lot of acoustic and phonetics research has been done on other languages such as English, French and Chinese. Approach: This study discussed about the correct and simplest way of Arabic phonemes pronunciation in Mala...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant the concentration of which increases significantly following tissue injury or inflammation. It is present in the albumin fraction of the serum of patients and is antigenic upon injection into rabbits. We report here the development of a local latex reagent coated with rabbit anti-CRP. For this purpose CRP was isolated from pooled sera of patie...

This article describes the ongoing work of real-time message passing interface (MPI) standardization. Real-time MPI (MPI/RT) provides a consistent set of extensions and, in some cases, restrictions to the high-performance computing Message Passing Interface Standard, emphasizing changes that enable and support real-time communication and are supportable on embedded and other real-time systems. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Congenitally abnormal plasminogen is characterized by markedly decreased fibrinolytic activity and has been reported mainly in association with venous occlusive disease. CASE DESCRIPTION We found three young adult patients (34, 45, and 27 years old at onset) with ischemic cerebrovascular disease, all of whom had congenital plasminogen abnormalities but no other known ri...

The protein complement of cellular membranes is notoriously resistant to standard proteomic analysis and structural studies. As a result, membrane proteomes remain ill-defined. Here, we report a global topology analysis of the Escherichia coli inner membrane proteome. Using C-terminal tagging with the alkaline phosphatase and green fluorescent protein, we established the periplasmic or cytoplas...

A 1352-nucleotide intron within the Euglena gracilis chloroplast ycf8 gene has been characterized as a complex twintron with overlapping internal introns and alternative splicing pathways. Partially spliced pre-mRNAs were characterized by a combination of cDNA cloning and sequencing, Northern hybridization, and S1 nuclease protection analyses. In the predominant pathway, two internal group II i...
