To minimize the longitudinal strip thickness error in the hydraulic cold rolling industries and improve traditional AGC control scheme on this problem, we put forward a secure gauge control system based on Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) and intelligent PI control strategy. The traditional automatic gauge control (AGC) scheme depended on personal experience about the parameters. The new gauge cont...

Currently, the electric power industry is in transition from vertically integrated utilities to an industry that will incorporate competitive companies. This increases the complexity of the load frequency issue and calls for more insight and research. In this context, the tuning of a two-area AGC system after deregulation is not yet discussed and is studied in this work. The effect of bilateral...

Expiration classes are a concept to analyze memory management systems. It reveals the costs and the source of costs. Explicit memory management, garbage collection, region-based memory management and cyclic allocation are analyzed in this master thesis. Furthermore, we present AGC, a new memory management system which combines garbage collection with cyclic allocation. Cyclic allocation has ver...

Purpose: Chemotherapy plus trastuzumab is standard of care for HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, not all patients with HER2-positive AGC seem to benefit from trastuzumab. We evaluated the association between treatment outcomes with trastuzumab and HER2 status in patients with HER2positive AGC. Experimental Design: We enrolled 126 patients with HER2positive AGC treated with t...

The estimation of heritability, genetic advance and direct effect yield attributing components on seed cotton have been used to develop indirect selection criteria. For this purpose, seven parents their F2 populations were evaluated for the identification superior be transferred further generations. Claudia x AGC-208, AGC-85 MD combinations fiber quality. highest heritability recorded in boll n...

Hormones and growth factors induce the activation of a number of protein kinases that belong to the AGC subfamily, including isoforms of PKA, protein kinase B (also known as Akt), PKC, S6K p70 (ribosomal S6 kinase), RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase) and MSK (mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase), which then mediate many of the physiological processes that are regulated by these extracellula...

PURPOSE Wnt pathways control key biological processes that potentially impact on tumor progression and patient survival. The present study analyzed the polymorphism of lipoprotein-related receptor 5 (LRP5) (gene with key functions in Wnt signaling) and its impact on the response to chemotherapy and survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). METHODS A total of 107 consecutive pat...

Cell polarity establishment, maintenance, and alteration are central to the developmental and response programs of nearly all organisms and are often implicated in abnormalities ranging from patterning defects to cancer. By residing at the distinct plasma membrane domains polar cargoes mark the identities of those domains, and execute localized functions. Polar cargoes are recruited to the spec...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate differentially expressed genes using DNA microarray between advanced gastric cancer (AGC) with aggressive lymph node (LN) metastasis and that with a more advanced tumor stage but without LN metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five sample pairs of gastric cancer tissue and normal gastric mucosa were taken from three patients with T3N3 stage (hi...

The growth factor/insulin-stimulated AGC kinases share an activation mechanism based on three phosphorylation sites. Of these, only the role of the activation loop phosphate in the kinase domain and the hydrophobic motif (HM) phosphate in a C-terminal tail region are well characterized. We investigated the role of the third, so-called turn motif phosphate, also located in the tail, in the AGC k...
