Tethering factors have been shown to interact with Rabs and SNAREs and, more recently, with coat proteins. Coat proteins are required for cargo selection and membrane deformation to bud a transport vesicle from a donor compartment. It was once thought that a vesicle must uncoat before it recognizes its target membrane. However, recent findings have revealed a role for the coat in directing a ve...

Strength and ductility are two of the most important mechanical properties of structural materials. However, they are often mutually exclusive, i.e., a material may be strong or ductile, but rarely both at the same time. This is also true for bulk nanostructured materials, which usually have high strength, but disappointingly low ductility. Bulk nanostructured materials are usually synthesized ...

two probiotic bacteria (lb. acidophilus and b. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. physico-chemical parameters namely ph value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºc at 2 day intervals. a sig...

OBJECTIVES To assess the role of ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring in the diagnosis of hypertension in general practice. BACKGROUND Hypertension is usually diagnosed by means of casual office BP readings. However, ambulatory BP monitoring has shown that a significant proportion of patients diagnosed as hypertensive do not in fact have hypertension. METHOD Sixty-four Indian patients ...

The assessment of white coat hypertension is complicated by the lack of generally agreed-on normal limits of ambulatory blood pressure. To assess the influence of four of these limits on the prevalence of white coat hypertension and the corresponding distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy, we performed 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiographic studies in 346 untre...

Seed-coat cracking and undesirable color of seed coat highly affects external appearance and commercial value of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). With an objective to find genetic solution to the above problems, a peanut mutant with cracking and brown colored seed coat (testa) was identified from an EMS treated mutant population and designated as "peanut seed coat crack and brown color mutant lin...

To evaluate the morphological and functional characteristics of the heart in elderly patients with white coat hypertension, we performed an echocardiographic study in 67 elderly individuals older than 60 years: 17 patients with white coat hypertension, 34 patients with true hypertension, and 16 normotensive control subjects. White coat hypertension was defined as a mean 24-hour ambulatory systo...
