Human Par-4/PAWR is a about 40 kDa protein containing 340 amino acids. Rat Par-4 has 332 amino acids whereas mouse Par-4 has 333 amino acids. Par4/PAWR has two putative nuclear localization sequences in the N-terminal region and a leucine zipper domain and a nuclear export sequence in the C-terminal portion. There is a SAC domain (147-206 amino acids), selective for apoptosis induction in cance...

The aim of this study was to elucidate the adverse respiratory effects of naturally occurring acid fog. In total, 102 adult asthmatic patients (44 nonatopic and 58 atopic) were studied for a 2 yr period (January 1992 to December 1993) in Kushiro, a city with only a small industrial area, located in the northern-most island in Japan. Fog occurred on 378 out of 731 days, and the acidity of the fo...

BACKGROUND Asian dust is known to have harmful effects on the respiratory system. Respiratory conditions are also influenced by environmental conditions regardless of the presence of pollutants. The same pollutant can have different effects on the airway when the air is dry compared with when it is humid. We investigated hospital visits for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthm...

Number of accidents are increasing in foggy weather, to prevent this there should be a system detect an object beforehand fog. Object detection weather can challenging task due the reduced visibility and limitations traditional vision-based methods. In article, we introduce way for using Arduino microcontroller Ultrasonic sensors. It is designed alert driver any objects front vehicle via buzzer...

The present study aimed to investigate the increasing solidification rate during directional developed from in situ composites of M7C3/austenite eutectic, with a small portion dendrites, and partial equiaxed structures. M7C3 fibre aligned along solidified direction composites; however, its orientation shape became irregular among dendrites. In composite structure has higher tensile strength tha...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) and their hybrid combinations are widely incorporated in research due to enhanced mechanical properties wear resistance. In this work, an investigation is made fabricate AA2024 flyash graphite-reinforced composite for industrial applications determine its suitability by performing testing characterization. Tensile compressive strength, resistance, fracture toughne...

A significant carbon diffusion mobility acceleration as a result of cyclic γ↔ε martensitic transformations in iron-manganese alloy is determined by one- and two-dimensional structure defects of ε-martensite with face-centered close-packed lattice. Such defects (dislocations, low angle sub-boundaries of dislocations, chaotic stacking faults) were formed during cyclic γ↔ε martensitic transformati...

This paper describes the original FaMar method of user's identification. The method bases on the fusion of Wavelet Transform (WT) and Hidden Markov Models (HMM), which is used for three parts of the face (eyes, nose, and mouth) separately.
