Protein O mannosylation is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum by protein O-mannosyltransferases (Pmt proteins) and plays an important role in the secretion, localization, and function of many proteins, as well as in cell wall integrity and morphogenesis in fungi. Three Pmt proteins, each belonging to one of the three respective Pmt subfamilies, are encoded in the genome of the human fungal ...

Detailed Monte-Carlo simulations were used to evaluate the performance of a liquid neon scintillation detector for dark matter and low-energy solar neutrino interactions. A maximum-likelihood event vertex fitter including PMT time information was developed, which significantly improves position resolution over spatial-only algorithms, and substantially decreases the required detector size and a...

Abstract Reducing individual fossil fuel use is an important component of climate change mitigation, but motivating behaviour to achieve this difficult. Protection motivation theory (PMT) a psychological framework that outlines the conditions under which people are more likely be persuaded take specific response or action. This experimental study investigated impact six different protection the...

Abstract In this article, we give a proof for positive mass theorem (PMT) of asymptotically flat manifolds with arbitrary ends when the dimension is no greater than seven. As an application, also show PMT locally Euclidean necessary incompressible conditions.

KM3NeT (km3 Neutrino Telescope) is planned to be a deep-sea multidisciplinary observatory in the Mediterranean Sea that will provide innovative science opportunities spanning Astroparticle Physics and Earth and Sea Science. KM3NeT will consist of several hundreds of vertical structures, which carry photo-sensors and devices for calibration and environmental measurements. The photo-sensor unit i...

BACKGROUND Cancer is account for 13% of all deaths around the world and is the third cause of mortality in Iran. More than one third of these cases are pre-ventable and about 33% are curable with early detection. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of cancer early detection (CED) behaviors applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, cl...

PURPOSE Although the usual site of nonthrombotic venous obstruction of the upper extremity is the subclavian vein, other sites may be the cause of such obstruction. This study describes the diagnosis and treatment of six patients with partial axillary vein obstruction by the pectoralis minor muscle, a condition that can mimic subclavian vein obstruction. METHODS A chart review of patients und...

We applied the Luria and Delbruck fluctuation test to analyze high-frequency changes in the phenotype of rat cells transformed by a plasmid carrying the polyomavirus middle T (pmt) gene. All of the transformed cell lines analyzed were capable of switching to the normal state with rates ranging from 10(-3) to 10(-2) per cell per generation. Analysis of both middle T antigen and middle T transcri...

Following a previous feasibility study, a photon dosimeter have been constructed by attaching a small piece of BGO scintillator to a low attenuation plastic optical fiber for which the light output is measured with a current-type PMT. The dosimeter model is tested in a Co irradiation chamber in the dose rate range varying from about 50 to 1200 Gy/h. The dose rates are measured at a number of pr...
