Chirality in a helimagnetic structure is determined by the sense of magnetic moment rotation. We found that chiral information did not disappear even after phase transition to high-temperature ferromagnetic helimagnet MnP. The 2nd harmonic resistivity $\rho^{\rm 2f}$, which reflects breaking down mirror symmetry, was be almost unchanged heating sample above temperature and cooling it back state...

Multifarious transcription of the adhesion protein ap65-1 gene in the human pathogen, Trichomonas vaginalis, is critically regulated by the coordination of two similar but opposite oriented DNA regulatory regions, MRE-1/MRE-2r and MRE-2f, both of which are binding sites for multiple Myb-like proteins. In the present study, MRE-1/MRE-2r was demonstrated to be composed of multiple overlapping pro...

This work investigates the imaging performance, in terms of contrast and resolution, of two different time-gated ballistic imaging setups commonly used in spray research. It is shown that the two setups generate similar spatial resolution in the presence of scattering media. The simpler (2f) setup, however, is less sensitive to component misalignments and time-gate induced aberrations than the ...

Proof: If a correct server s executes o with sequence number i, it must have received f + 1 valid COMMIT messages for 〈o, i〉 from a quorum Q of servers. The proof is by contradiction. Suppose there is another correct server s′ that executes o with sequence number i′ > i. By the MinBFT algorithm, this can only happen if it receives f + 1 valid COMMIT messages for 〈o, i′〉, from a quorum Q′ of f +...

ABCA1 mediates the transport of cellular cholesterol and phospholipids to HDL apolipoproteins. Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) interactions with ABCA1-expressing cells elicit several responses, including removing cellular lipids, stabilizing ABCA1 protein, and activating Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). Here, we used synthetic apolipoprotein-mimetic peptides to characterize the relationship between these res...

A series of experiments was conducted to clarify the distinction between motion aftereffects (MAEs) with static and counterphasing test patterns (static and flicker MAEs). It was found that while the motion of higher-order structure, such as areas defined by texture, flicker, or stereoscopic depth, induces little static MAE, such motion reliably generates flicker MAE. It was also found that sta...

A noncytotoxic neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb), 26-2F, to human angiogenin (Ang), a potent inducer of neovascularization, has been reported to prevent or delay the establishment of HT-29 human tumor xenografts in athymic mice. In the present study the tumor model was modified to increase sensitivity to Ang antagonists to facilitate further investigations and comparisons of their capacity...

The metastatic cascade describes the escape of primary tumour cells to distant secondary sites. Cells at the leading tumour edge are thought to undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), to enhance their motility and invasion for spreading. Whether EMT cells directly promote tumour angiogenesis, and the role of exosomes (30-150 nm extracellular vesicles) remains largely unknown. We examin...

In this paper, we establish the generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of C-ternary ring homomorphisms associted to the Trif functional equation d · C d−2f( x1 + · · ·+ xd d ) + C d−2 d ∑

We consider CIV-DV prepotential F forN = 1 SU(n) SYM theory at the extremum of the effective superpotential and prove the relation 2F − S ∂F ∂Si = −u2 2Λ2n (n2 − 1)
