STAR collaboration has offered eminent nuclear modification factor of J/ψ at high pT and midrapidity produced in Cu-Cu collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. Recalling a prediction we can understand that the feature of high-pT nuclear modification factor is related to cc̄ produced by 2 → 1 and 2 → 2 partonic processes in deconfined matter particularly in the prethermal stage and to the recombination of ...

In this article we examine four objections to the genetic modification of human beings: the freedom argument, the giftedness argument, the authenticity argument, and the uniqueness argument. We then demonstrate that each of these arguments against genetic modification assumes a strong version of genetic determinism. Since these strong deterministic assumptions are false, the arguments against g...

Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) mediates the induction of heat shock protein (hsp) gene expression in cells exposed to elevated temperature and other stress conditions. In response to stress HSF1 acquires DNA-binding ability and localizes to nuclear stress granules, but the molecular mechanisms which mediate these events are not understood. We report that HSF1 undergoes stress-induced ...

BACKGROUND The mammalian response to stress results in the activation of stress-activated protein kinases (also known as cJun N-terminal kinases; SAPKs or JNKs), which are a sub-group of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. The SAPKs are involved in the upregulation of activity of the transcription factor AP-1 by post-translational modification of two of its components, cJun and A...
