DNA polymerase kappa (Pol kappa) is a newly identified low-fidelity polymerase implicated in spontaneous and DNA damage-induced mutagenesis. As an initial study to investigate its possible involvement in tumorigenesis, we compared the expression level of Pol kappa in tumors and adjacent nontumorous tissues by Northern blot, semiquantitative RT-PCR, and Western blot analyses. In this study, pair...

Commutator methods are applied to get limiting absorption principles for the discrete standard and Molchanov-Vainberg Schr\"odinger operators $H_{\mathrm{std}}= \Delta+V$ $H_{\mathrm{MV}} = D+V$ on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, with emphasis $d=1,2,3$. Considered electric potentials $V$ satisfying a long range condition of type: $V-\tau_j ^{\kappa}V$ decays appropriately some $\kappa \in \mathbb{N}$ ...

We establish some similarities/analogies between uncountable cardinals or powersets and the class $V$ of all sets. They concern mainly Boolean algebras ${\cal P}(\kappa)$, for a regular cardinal $\kappa$, C}(V)$ (the subclasses universe $V$), endowed with ideals, especially ideal $[\kappa]^{<\kappa}$ sets C}(V)$.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are used as signaling molecules in T cell activation. One of the main targets of ROS is the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B). NF-kappa B-dependent transcription is inhibited by antioxidants, and the activation is induced or potentiated by ROS. However, chronic oxidative stress is known to reduce the activation of T cells and NF-kappa B. To a...

abstract. certain facts about frames and generalized frames (g- frames) are extended for the g-frames for hilbert c*-modules. it is shown that g-frames for hilbert c*-modules share several useful properties with those for hilbert spaces. the paper also character- izes the operators which preserve the class of g-frames for hilbert c*-modules. moreover, a necessary and suffcient condition is ob- ...

In this paper we study the duality of Bessel and g-Bessel sequences in Hilbert spaces. We show that a Bessel sequence is an inner summand of a frame and the sum of any Bessel sequence with Bessel bound less than one with a Parseval frame is a frame. Next we develop this results to the g-frame situation.

Precast prestreesed concrete braces are a new method for seismic strength of Concrete Structures which has the following benefits: a) no wet concrete work in construction site b) No bolt or anchorage to the existing frame c) easy to apply d) short construction period e) low construction cost, to evaluate seismic performance of strengthened structure a model consist of existing frame and concret...

PURPOSE This article examines and illustrates the use and interpretation of the kappa statistic in musculoskeletal research. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS The reliability of clinicians' ratings is an important consideration in areas such as diagnosis and the interpretation of examination findings. Often, these ratings lie on a nominal or an ordinal scale. For such data, the kappa coefficient is an ap...

That structural abnormalities may be responsible for nonamyloid immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is suggested by previous results of Ig biosynthesis studies, but this hypothesis was not documented at the molecular level. We report on the first complete primary sequence deduced from cDNA analysis of a kappa light chain responsible for LCDD associated with an apparently n...
