Human placental lactogen (hPL) and human growth hormone (hGH) are members of a multigene family that share amino acid sequence homology and similarity in gene structure and nucleotide sequence, but differ in both function and expression. To determine the sequence requirements for tissue specific expression recombinant plasmids containing the members of the hPL-hGH multigene family and flanking ...

Comparability of lipase catalytic activities was poor when lipase was determined in 50 patients' specimens by a turbidimetric (Boehringer) and a colorimetric (Sigma) assay. Mean values of results differed by a ratio of 2.39. Optimal common conditions were defined for the titration of lipase activity in two commercial calibrators and in a home-purified preparation of human pancreatic lipase (HPL...

Purpose This study applied the Heritage Place Lab (HPL) research-practice teams methodology to identify missing cultural values and/or oversubscribed natural and assess impacts on sustainable conservation of Okavango Delta World Site. The authors found that elements are often overlooked owing limited inputs from trans-disciplinary cross-stakeholder perspectives conservation. may explain why maj...

Lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxytrienoic acid lyase (HPL) activities were determined in tomato juice from four cultivars of processing tomatoes. Large differences in total activity levels were found between different cultivars. Thermal inactivation kinetics of these two enzymes were determined for two cultivars used in cold break processing. LOX inactivation did not follow simple first order ...

Globally, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Loneliness has been suggested as a risk factor for mortality. However, connections between loneliness, social isolation, and are poorly understood. In our longitudinal study (mean follow-up: 20.44 years) 2570 middle-aged men, health-related factors were measured at baseline. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to examine association ...

Cost-optimized Spartan®-7 FPGAs leverage the proven 7 series architecture. Built on the 28nm HPL process and enabled by the Vivado® Design Suite to offer the lowest total power for cost-sensitive products, power-efficient Spartan-7 devices reduce system costs even further by reducing power supply and thermal solution costs without compromising best-in-class performance. Spartan-7 FPGAs provide:...

Cementum is a mineralized tissue produced by cementoblasts covering the roots of teeth that provides for the attachment of periodontal ligament to roots and surrounding alveolar bone. To study the mechanism of proliferation and differentiation of cementoblasts is important for understanding periodontal physiology and pathology including periodontal tissue regeneration. However, the detailed mec...

Most eukaryotic cells express small regulatory RNAs. The purpose of one class, the somatic endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs), remains unclear. Here, we show that the endo-siRNA pathway promotes odor adaptation in C. elegans AWC olfactory neurons. In adaptation, the nuclear Argonaute NRDE-3, which acts in AWC, is loaded with siRNAs targeting odr-1, a gene whose downregulation is required for adapt...
