This article is to contribute to the classification of finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebras with Weyl groups of E6, E7, F4, G2. Many papers are about the classification of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras, for example, [AS98, AS02, AS00, AS05, He06, AHS08, AG03, AFZ, AZ07, Gr00, Fa07, AF06, AF07, ZZC, ZC]. In these research ones need the centralizers and character tables of ...

Islet amyloid, formed by aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP; amylin), is a pathological characteristic of the pancreas in type 2 diabetes and may contribute to the progressive loss of beta-cells in this disease. We tested the hypothesis that impaired processing of the IAPP precursor proIAPP contributes to amyloid formation and cell death. GH3 cells lacking the prohormone convertase ...

Patient-reported outcomes regarding symptom burden may provide valuable information in addition to physician assessment. Systematic collection of patient-reported outcomes may be an important metric to identify unmet needs and improve quality of patient care. To understand common symptoms of patients seen in radiation oncology clinic, we examined the prospectively collected modified Edmonton Sy...

PURPOSE The biomechanical effects of IOP on the optic nerve head (ONH) are believed to play a role in glaucomatous neuropathy. There is, however, no consensus on which effects of IOP should be prioritized for investigation. Our goal was to identify a small set of variables capturing the majority of the effects of acute IOP on the ONH. METHODS We produced 4646 finite element models of the huma...

Limited endoproteolysis of inactive precursor proteins at sites marked by paired or multiple basic amino acids is a widespread process by which biologically active peptides and proteins are produced within the secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells. The identification of a novel family of endoproteases homologous with bacterial subtilisins and yeast Kex2p has accelerated progress in understandin...

Biopreservation is defined as using microbes, their constituents, or both to control spoilage while satisfying consumer demand for clean-label products. The study objective was investigate the efficacy of bacterial cultures in biopreserving cottage cheese against postprocessing fungal contamination. Cottage curd and dressing were sourced from a manufacturer New York State. Dressing inoculated w...
