The expression of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-C (TN) is enhanced in human astrocytomas and correlates with angiogenesis. To determine whether vascular cells are able to synthesize TN, we investigated the expression of TN protein and mRNA in nine astrocytomas. Immunogold electron microscopy in two glioblastomas multiforme detected the presence of TN in an extracellular perivas...

Recently, Zhu [34] introduced a Stirling-Whitney-Riordan triangle [Tn,k]n,k?0 satisfying the recurrence Tn,k = (b1k + b2)Tn?1,k?1 [(2?b1 a1)k a2 ?(b1 b2)]Tn?1,k ?(a1 ?b1)(k 1)Tn?1,k+1, where initial conditions 0 unless ? k n and T0,0 1. Denote by Tn Pnk =0 Tn,k. In this paper, we show asymptotic normality of give an formula Tn. As applications, many famous combinatorial numbers, such as Stirlin...

Enhanced expression of tenascin-C (TN-C) at the invasive edges of glioblastoma multiforme in close association with vascular sprouts, suggests a role for TN-C in microvascular cell migration. To test this hypothesis, we studied the migration of endothelial cells in vitro. In an aggregate migration assay, bovine retinal endothelial cells (BRECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells spread ...

A similarity transformation, which brings a particular class of the N = 1 string to the N = 0 one, is explicitly constructed. It enables us to give a simple proof for the argument recently proposed by Berkovits and Vafa. The N = 1 BRST operator is turned into the direct sum of the corresponding N = 0 BRST operator and that for an additional topological sector. As a result, the physical spectrum...

background chitosan is a naturally occurring biopolymer which has been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications including local antibiotic delivery due to its excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. beads are spherical, porous carriers which are prepared from various materials including chitosan. objectives the current study aimed to fabricate a new co...

Best management practices (BMPs) are operations that reduce pollution and improve water quality. This study assessed the spatial variability of BMPs effectiveness within Yazoo River Watershed (YRW) using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Two field-scale watersheds, Merigold (MW) from Delta Skuna (SRW) in Bluff Hills, were selected YRW. The SWAT model was calibrated validated for monthly stream...

φ(t) = F (t, φ(t)), t ∈ [a, b], φ(a) = φa. (1.1) where φa, φ(t) ∈ C n and F : R × C → C. Let {t}n=0 be equally spaced nodes in the interval [a, b] with t0 = a, tN = b. Let {t j n} M j=0 be the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes in the subinterval [tn, tn+1] with t 0 n = tn, t M n = tn+1. Denote ∆n = t j+1 n − t j n. 1.1 Forward Euler Scheme The Picard integral equation in each [tn, tn+1] associated w...

Let Tn denote a tree of order n and Wm a wheel of order m + 1. Baskoro et al. conjectured in [2] that if Tn is not a star, then R(Tn,Wm) = 2n − 1 for m ≥ 6 even and n ≥ m− 1. We disprove the Conjecture in [6]. In this paper, we determine R(Tn,W6) for n ≤ 8 which is the first step for us to determine R(Tn,W6) for any tree Tn.
