We report the solution structure of BID, an intracellular cross-talk agent that can amplify FAS/TNF apoptotic signal through the mitochondria death pathway after Caspase 8 cleavage. BID contains eight alpha helices where two central hydrophobic helices are surrounded by six amphipathic ones. The fold resembles poreforming bacterial toxins and shows similarity to BCL-XL although sequence homolog...

With the rapid depletion of IPv4 protocol in these recent years, IETF introduced IPv6 as a solution to address exhaustion, however, new exists, characteristics have been and threats discovered. Extension Headers are that an emerging re-emerging security is needed be taken into consideration during full migration network. This study revealed up this moment, popular vendors still vulnerable doesn...

Title of dissertation: DESIGN OF DISCRETE AUCTION Pacharasut Sujarittanonta, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Cramton Department of Economics Chapter 1: Efficient Design of an Auction with Discrete Bid Levels This paper studies one of auction design issues: the choice of bid levels. Full efficiency is generally unachievable with a discrete auction. Since ther...

Westudy independent private-value all-pay auctionswith risk-averse players. We show that: (1) Players with low values bid lower and players with high values bid higher than they would bid in the risk neutral case. (2) Players with low values bid lower and players with high values bid higher than they would bid in a first-price auction. (3) Players’ expected utilities in an all-pay auction are l...

I n the classic revenue management (RM) problem of selling a fixed quantity of perishable inventories to price-sensitive non-strategic consumers over a finite horizon, the optimal pricing decision at any time depends on two important factors: consumer valuation and bid price. The former is determined exogenously by the demand side, while the latter is determined jointly by the inventory level o...

Sealed-Bid auction is an efficient and rational method to establish the price in open market. However sealed-bid auctions are subject to bid-rigging attack. Receipt-free mechanisms were proposed to prevent bid-rigging. The prior receipt-free mechanisms are based on two assumptions; firstly, existence of untappable channel between bidders and auction authorities. Secondly, mechanisms assume the ...

Overexpression of the BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) protein sensitizes certain cancer cell lines to apoptosis induced by anticancer agents, particularly by those acting through death receptors (e.g. TRAIL). Previously, we showed that recombinant BID fused with TAT cell penetrating peptide (TAT-BID) allowed for controlled delivery of BID to different cancer cell lines and moderately...
