The Dps family of proteins are a diverse group of bacterial stress-inducible polypeptides that bind DNA and likely confer resistance to peroxide damage during periods of oxidative stress and long term nutrient limitation. Some members of the Dps protein family have been shown to form large (approximately 150-kDa), hexameric complexes that bind chromosomal DNA with little sequence specificity. I...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate in SSc, the frequency of digital lesions and the morphology, characteristics, natural course and time to healing of 1614 digital ulcers (DUs). METHODS One hundred SSc patients were followed up for 4 years. In the first step, the digital lesions were observed and classified at the time of presentation [digital pitting scar (DPS); DU; calcinosis; gangrene]. In the second s...

Activity-dependent plasticity of GABAergic synaptic transmission was investigated in rat hippocampal slices obtained between postnatal day (P) 0-15 using the whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique. Spontaneous GABA(A) receptor-mediated postsynaptic currents (sGABA(A)-PSCs) were isolated in the presence of ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. A conditioning protocol relevant to the phy...

Accurate descriptions of P leaching are important because excess P applied to soils can enter surface water via leaching and subsurface transport, thereby negatively impacting water quality. The objectives of this study were to monitor P leaching in soils with a long-term history of waste application, relate soil solution P concentrations to soil P status, and quantify P leaching losses. Soil s...

The aim was to describe diaphragmatic behavior during postural limb activities and examine the ventilatory and stabilizing functions of the diaphragm. Thirty healthy subjects were examined in the supine position using a dynamic MRI system assessed simultaneously with specialized spirometric readings. The diaphragmatic excursions (DEs) were measured at 3 diaphragmatic points in the sagittal plan...

Key generation efficiency, and security, in DPS-QKD improve with an increase the number of path delays or time-bin superpositions. We demonstrate implementation super-position states using time-bins, establish equivalence path-based superposition, thus yielding a simpler higher-order superposition for differential phase-shift quantum key distribution (DPS-QKD). set up DPS-QKD, over 105 km singl...

Dendronized poly(amido amine)s (DPs) bearing tri-phosphate or bis-phosphonate peripheral groups are synthesized. These worm-like DPs can template the formation of BMSCs adhesive hydroxylapatite (HA) on the nano-scale, or self-assemble into mineral-collecting microfibers on the micro-scale, exhibiting similar functions of non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) in the natural biomineralization process o...

This study aims to examine the effect of board characteristics on performance Islamic banks (IBs) in Indonesia and Malaysia 2016-2020. The sample this includes 11 commercial 7 Malaysia. analysis method uses panel data regression which is processed with help software Eviews 12. Performance measured by Return On Assets (ROA), Equity (ROE), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Board are size directors,...

(3) Carrying guns is illegal in Illinois. a. # “It’s OK to carry a gun as long as you don’t have more than one” b. “Carrying more than zero guns is illegal” • No morphologically plural DPs in sentence 1, but continuation indicates semantic plurality for both DPs: (4) Each boy drew a picture. They hung them on the wall. • Common assumption: plurals are semantically unmarked, in the sense that th...
