On April 30, 2010, Jack Kenney retired from the ASM Journals Department after 25 years of service, for the last 13 of which he was the production editor for the Journal of Bacteriology. Over the years, Jack helped countless authors, reviewers, and editors to expedite the publication of JB papers. Because of his knowledge and sincere desire to help the microbiological community navigate the publ...

A therosclerosis is a highly complex process involving the dynamic interplay between cell types intrinsic (eg, endothelial cells [ECs] and smooth muscle cells [SMCs]) and extrinsic (eg, lymphocytes and myeloid cells) to the blood vessel wall. Over the last several decades extensive work has been conducted that details the many molecular pathways involved in mediating the pathologic vascular inf...

The IjB kinase (IKK) complex is the signal integration hub for NF-jB activation. Composed of two serine-threonine kinases (IKKa and IKKb) and the regulatory subunit NEMO (also known as IKKc), the IKK complex integrates signals from all NF-jB activating stimuli to catalyze the phosphorylation of various IjB and NF-jB proteins, as well as of other substrates. Since the discovery of the IKK comple...

We aimed to understand the roles of miRNAs in the muscle tissue maturation and those of circulating microRNAs (c-miRNAs) in beef production of Japanese Black (JB) cattle (Wagyu), a breed with genetically background of superior intermuscular fat depot, by comparing different feeding conditions (indoor grain-feeding vs. grazing on pasture). The cattle at 18 months old were assigned to pasture fee...

There are two neutral B 0 {B 0 meson systems, B 0 d {B 0 d and B 0 s {B 0 s (generically denoted B 0 q {B 0 q , q = s; d), which exhibit the phenomenon of particle-antiparticle mixing 1]. Such a system is produced in one of its two possible states of well-deened avor: jB 0 i (bq) or jB 0 i (bq). Due to avor-changing interactions, this initial state evolves into a time-dependent quantum superpos...

In the last twenty years, a theory of real Jordan triples has been developed. In 1994 T. Dang and B. Russo introduced the concept of J∗B–triple. These J∗B–triples include real C∗–algebras and complex JB∗–triples. However, concerning J∗B–triples, an important problem was left open. Indeed, the question was whether the complexification of a J∗B–triple is a complex JB∗–triple in some norm extendin...

The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of kennedya yellow mosaic tymovirus-Jervis Bay isolate (KYMV-JB) has been determined. The genome of KYMV-JB is 6362 nucleotide residues long and encodes three major open reading frames. The genomic organization and the encoded proteins of KYMV-JB are very similar to those of three other tymoviruses that have recently been reported. Sequence comparisons...
