Tap has been proposed to play a role in general mRNA export and also functions in expression of RNA with retained introns that contain the MPMV CTE (constitutive transport element). Tap forms a functional heterodimer with NXT/p15. We have previously demonstrated that unspliced intron-containing CTE RNA is efficiently exported to the cytoplasm in mammalian cells. Here we show that Tap and NXT pr...

Abstract Objectives To determine the most preferable endoluminal contrast agent among mannitol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), iohexol, and water by comparing various qualitative (distension, fold visibility, homogeneity) quantitative parameters (distension) along with artifacts patient feedback for computed tomography enterography (CTE). Methods This was a prospective study including 120 patients ...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of chin tuck exercise (CTE) using a neckline slimmer device on suprahyoid (SH) and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle activation in healthy adults. [Subjects and Methods] We measured activation of the SH and SCM muscles using surface electromyography in 20 healthy adults during head lift exercise (HLE) and CTE using a neckline slimmer device. The order...

There is evidence that repetitive mild traumatic brain injury leads to specific patterns of neuropathological findings, labeled chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). However, questions remain about whether these neuropathological changes produce changes in behavior, cognition, and emotional status that are associated with a unique neuropsychiatric profile that can be assessed using currently ...

In this paper, we develop a temporal correlation transfer equation (CTE) for ultrasound-modulated multiply scattered light. The equation can be used to obtain the time-varying specific intensity of light produced by a nonuniform ultrasound field in optically scattering media that have a heterogeneous distribution of optical parameters. We also develop a Monte Carlo algorithm that can provide th...

Out of around two hundred different variables that are known to have some relation with student achievement, Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) was reported be among the most influential. Hence, CTE has received attention many researchers as a topic investigation. The purpose present review is two-fold; (a) an overview research on CTE, and (b) draw implications suggest recommendations for teache...

Introduction and purpose. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a tauopathy caused by repetitive, mild head injuries. It characterized perivascular accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein in the neurons astrocytes. CTE leads to changes central nervous system, both on microscopic macroscopic level. The aim study was present current knowledge chronic among athletes, its predisposing f...

Kinesin-5 plays an essential role in spindle formation and function, and serves as a potential target for anti-cancer drugs. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular properties of the N-terminal extension of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe kinesin-5, Cut7. This extension is rich in charged amino acids and predicted to be intrinsically disordered. In S. pombe cells, a Cut7 construct la...

In addition to the core structure conserved in all troponin I isoforms, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has an ∼30 amino acids NH(2)-terminal extension. This peptide segment is a heart-specific regulatory structure containing two Ser residues that are substrates of PKA. Under β-adrenergic regulation, phosphorylation of cTnI in the NH(2)-terminal extension increases the rate of myocardial relaxation. ...

We have examined the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) of WFPC2's CCDs near the end of mission as a function of background illumination. Internal lamps were used to flash the CCDs before or after external exposures of ! Cen to produce average background signals of 0–160 e. These signals span the natural sky backgrounds observed in ~99% of archived WFPC2 science images. Most of the stellar flux l...
