We present VLA H i 21 cm observations of HIJASS J1021 6842, which has been discovered in the direction of the M81 Group. Our synthesis imaging reveals that the H i is distributed over a larger angular extent and velocity range than the single-dish discovery observations. Assuming that HIJASS J1021 6842 is at the distance of the M81 Group, we detect M, of H i distributed over as much as 30 kpc, ...

mannose-binding lectin (mbl) is a protein of innate immune system that is involved in opsonization and complement activation. mbl deficiency is associated with predisposition to infectious diseases; however subnormal levels are also seen in healthy subjects. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical manifestation of mbl deficiency in patients with increased susceptibi...

acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. although the cure rate of all has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for all treatment failure is multidrug resistance (mdr) phenomenon. the current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood all, and introduces atp-binding cassette...

The murine mAb CB4-1 raised against p24 (HIV-1) recognizes a linear epitope of the HIV-1 capsid protein. Additionally, CB4-1 exhibits cross-reactive binding to epitope-homologous peptides and polyspecific reactions to epitope nonhomologous peptides. Crystal structures demonstrate that the epitope peptide (e-pep) and the nonhomologous peptides adopt different conformations within the binding reg...

I. Pig liver glycolic acid oxidase (glycolate: 02 oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.1 ) can function with either 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP) (Vmax----125o moles of glycolate per mole of ravin per rain) or 02 (Vmax = 620 moles of glycolate per mole of ravin per rain)9,1° as the electron acceptor. 2. Straight-chain monocarboxylic acids are non-competitive inhibitors of this enzyme with either glyc...

The main approach to handle endogeneity in econometrics has been instrumental variable estimator (IVE). An instrument m requires E(mu) = 0 where u is an error term, and if E(mu) 6= 0 is likely, then m gets discarded. But when E(mu) 6= 0, fairly often one has a good idea on the sign of E(mu), and it will be a waste to toss out the sign information. This paper shows how to make use of the informa...

We give a logic programming language based on Fiore, Plotkin and Turi’s binding algebras. In this language, we can use not only first-order terms but also terms involving variable binding. The aim of this language is similar to Nadathur and Miller’s λProlog, which can also deal with binding structure by introducing λ-terms in higher-order logic. But the notion of binding used here is finer in a...

the interaction of hgh with some metal ions ( ) at 27°c in nac1 solution, 50 mm was studied using isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for binding of all these metal ions, expect . the intrinsic association equilibrium constants () are not very different for  and , and also their molar enthalpies of binding (kj/mol for  and  kj/mo...

In this paper we propose an analytical method to calculate the band structures of graphene-like nanoribbons of the armchair type with arbitrary line defects or uniaxial strains. The model is based on the tight-binding model and the standing wave assumption for the armchair nanoribbons. It gives accurate band results for large supercell systems. Within this method, we analyze different local sta...

Many problems of distributed object-oriented applications can be uniformly resolved in the frame of approach based on the concept of cover. The cover is defined as an environment which transparently controls all aspects of object’s community life: creation, interaction etc. To enable transparency, an objectoriented application must obey a principle of late binding, a reference to server object ...
