Femtosecond laser ablation (FLA) has been playing a prominent role in precision fabrication of material because its circumvention thermal effect and extremely high spatial resolution. Molecular dynamics modeling, as powerful tool to study the mechanism femtosecond ablation, still lacks connection between simulation results experimental observations at present. Here we combine single-shot chirpe...

Objective: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), key transcriptional regulators of lipid and energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes, have recently been proposed to modulate cardiovascular pathophysiological responses in experimental models. However, there is little information about the functional activity of PPARs in human heart failure. Aims: To investigate PPAR-a and -g expressio...

P2X receptors and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) display functional and physical interactions in many cell types and heterologous expression systems, but interactions between a6b4-containing (a6b4*) nAChRs and P2X2 receptors and/or P2X3 receptors have not been fully characterized. We measured several types of crosstalk in oocytes coexpressing a6b4 nAChRs and P2X2, P2X3, or P2X2/3 re...

conclusions our results demonstrated that r-fla-a could induce cellular and humoral immune response as proper stimulant of poly-isotypic humoral responses. results immunized mice with adjuvanted flagellin showed a considerably increased lymphocyte proliferation compared with the control group (p = 0.004). high level of il-4 and ifn-γ secretion was observed in immunized mice compared with the co...

This document specifies the payload format for encapsulating an H.263 bitstream in the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP). Three modes are defined for the H.263 payload header. An RTP packet can use one of the three modes for H.263 video streams depending on the desired network packet size and H.263 encoding options employed. The shortest H.263 payload header (mode A) supports fragmentation at ...

This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2003 and 2004 by using twelve peach cultivars whether importedlow chill or originated as strains of local cultivar Meet Ghamr. Studied cultivars were either early-season ones (namely, Robin, Rubidoux, and Spring Time) or mid-season cultivars (namely, Florida Red, Fla 16/33, Fla 3/2, Desert Red, Bemto, and Hagazy) or late-season cultivars (n...

Apigenin is an edible plant-derived flavonoid that shows modest antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. Apigenin treatment resulted in cell growth arrest and apoptosis in various types of tumors by modulating several signaling pathways. In the present study, we evaluated interactions between apigenin and ABT-263 in colon cancer cells. We observed a synergistic effect between apigenin and ABT...

Speaking in a foreign language, which is often perceived as intimidating by many language learners, has long been associated with anxiety (FLA), particularly speaking (FLSA). Although numerous studies have investigated FLA and FLSA, most focused on the classroom environment, whereas settings outside classroom, where learners use to communicate native speakers foreigners, relatively overlooked. ...
