ATLAS has chosen for its Hadronic End-Cap Calorimeter (HEC) the copper-liquid argon sampling technique with flat plate geometry and GaAs pre-amplifiers in the argon. The contruction of the calorimeter is now approaching completion. Results of production quality checks are reported and their anticipated impact on calorimeter performance discussed. Selected results, such as linearity, electron an...

Escalation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) in India threatens its Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ) population and victimizes local communities. supports 60% the total world. Understanding HEC spatial patterns will ensure targeted mitigation efforts efficient resource allocation to high-risk regions. This study deals with aspects Keonjhar forest division, where 345 people were killed 5,145 he...

The aim of our computational modeling is twofold. First, we seek to understand the relative contribution of cell proliferation, fate transition and respecification in mediating the pCLV3:HEC1-GR phenotype. We use the model to check which hypothetical scenarios are compatible with our experimental observations. Second, we aim to get insights into the hec1,2,3 phenotype which admits only limited ...

We present crowdsourced collection of error annotations for transcriptions of spoken learner English. Our emphasis in data collection is on fluency corrections, a more complete correction than has traditionally been aimed for in grammatical error correction research (GEC). Fluency corrections require improvements to the text, taking discourse and utterance level semantics into account: the resu...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of microRNA-29b (miR-29b) regulating MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways on angiogenesis in endometrial carcinoma (EC) by targeting VEGFA. METHODS Between February 2013 and April 2015, 126 EC patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were randomly selected, with 126 EC tissues and the correspon...

Human monocyte-derived interleukin 1 (IL-1) was found to be a potent inducer of procoagulant activity in cultured human vascular endothelium. IL-1-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell procoagulant activity (HEC-PCA) was transiently expressed, manifest in intact cell monolayers, and required protein synthesis. Data obtained with coagulation factor-deficient plasma and a goat anti-human ...

Water-cast films of two ethers of cellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), with dispersed silica particles, were deposited on flat substrates. X-ray specular reflectivity was used to characterize the structure of these solid ca. 1000 Å thick films as a function of the added colloidal fraction. It was shown that the structural changes resulting from increasing amo...

Candidate biomarker proteins, including chaperonin 10 and pyruvate kinase, previously discovered and identified using mass-tagging reagents with multidimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (DeSouza, L.; et al. J. Proteome Res. 2005, 4, 377-386) have been identified in serum-free media of cultured endometrial cancer (KLE and HEC-1-A) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. Thes...

soil conservation service curve number method (scs-cn) is a widely applied technique for predicting direct runoff from rainfall has been used around the world. in this study, the curve number maps and entry physical model data of kheyrud basin to hec-hms model, the hec-geohms extension in arcgis software and google earth satellite images were used. in addition to the statistical analysis of sur...
