Using a parallel link mechanism as the basic structure of the parallel link machine tool is a new design concept and has become one of the most important research ®elds and attracts many previous researchers. However, the application of these machines as a machine tool has not proven itself in terms of accuracy enhancement over traditional machine tools. In general, the geometry of the machine ...

Regulators frequently relax accounting rules during a financial crisis as means of regulatory forbearance. The new options provide banks with an opportunity for accrual-based increase in their capital. use such option helps reduce the costs government interventions bailouts and avoid dilution existing shareholders’ ownership rights. We examine introduction reclassification assets 2008 study pos...

This contribution illustrates the application of preconditioner updates as in [2] to model problems from compressible flow, that represent a broad range of typical sequences of nonsymmetric linear systems. There, a typical technique is freezing with periodic recomputation of ILU decompositions [3]. This can be improved by updating between refactorizations. In particular, the extension to block ...

The so-called thioredoxin system, thioredoxin (Trx), thioredoxin reductase (Trr), and NADPH, acts as a disulfide reductase system and can protect cells against oxidative stress. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two thioredoxins (Trx1 and Trx2) and one thioredoxin reductase (Trr1) have been characterized, all of them located in the cytoplasm. We have identified and characterized a novel thioredoxin ...

DANTZLER, WILLIAM H. Renal response of chickens to infusion of hyperosmotic sodbm chloride solution. Am. J. Physiol. 2 I o(3) : 64o646. x966.-The renal response of chickens to a continuous infusion of 6% NaCl was studied. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreased following infusion of 20 mEq NaCl/kg and continued to fall with continued NaCl infusion while the plasma osmolality and sodium conce...

Soil formation is the result of a complex network of biological as well as chemical and physical processes. The role of soil microbes is of high interest, since they are responsible for most biological transformations and drive the development of stable and labile pools of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and other nutrients, which facilitate the subsequent establishment of plant communities. Forefield...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TCM regimens in HCC treatment. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to June 1, 2016, of the TCM treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma were systematically identified in PubMed, CNKI, Ovid, Embase, Web of Science, W...

Kinesin-1 drives the movement of diverse cargoes, and it has been proposed that specific kinesin light chain (KLC) isoforms target kinesin-1 to these different structures. Here, we test this hypothesis using two in vitro motility assays, which reconstitute the movement of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and vesicles present in a Golgi membrane fraction. We generated GST-tagged fusion proteins...
