The antitumor activity of ethanol extract of Prosopis glandulosa Torr. (EPG) was evaluated against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor model in Swiss albino mice on dose dependent manner. The activity was assessed using survival time, average increase in body weight, hematological parameters and solid tumor volume. Oral administration of EPG at the dose of 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg, significantl...

EPG graphs, introduced by Golumbic et al. in 2009, are edge-intersection graphs of paths on an orthogonal grid. The class Bk-EPG is the subclass of EPG graphs where the path on the grid associated to each vertex has at most k bends. Epstein et al. showed in 2013 that computing a maximum clique in B1-EPG graphs is polynomial. As remarked in [Heldt et al., 2014], when the number of bends is at le...

The variability between and within breeds with respect to nematode egg counts (EPG), packed cell volume (PCV) and hemoglobin (Hb) was studied in 36 yearling female goats of the Caninde (15), Bhuj (6) and Anglo-Nubian (15) breeds, exposed to Haemonchus contortus. Nematode-free goats were turned to a contaminated paddock in late February. From then on, fecal egg per gram counts (EPG), packed cell...

Articulation disorders in Down's syndrome (DS) are prevalent and often intractable. Individuals with DS generally prefer visual to auditory methods of learning and may therefore find it beneficial to be given a visual model during speech intervention, such as that provided by electropalatography (EPG). In this study, participants with Down's syndrome, aged 10:1 to 18:9, received 24 individualiz...

The Reading EPG[1, 2] (Electropalatograph) was developed in the Speech Research Laboratory at The University of Reading as a device to allow the number, shape and position of contacts between the tongue and the roof of the mouth to be measured and recorded. This device is used both as a research tool[3, 4] and in speech therapy as a bio-feedback device. The preferred equipment used by major spe...

The molecular understanding of autophagy has originated almost exclusively from yeast genetic studies. Little is known about essential autophagy components specific to higher eukaryotes. Here we perform genetic screens in C. elegans and identify four metazoan-specific autophagy genes, named epg-2, -3, -4, and -5. Genetic analysis reveals that epg-2, -3, -4, and -5 define discrete genetic steps ...

This paper reports on experiences with the combination of an electronic process guide/experience repository (EPG/ER) and project postmortems. The two most important results are 1) the use of an EPG/ER to make the collected experiences more accessible, and 2) analysis of usage patterns of the EPG/ER to determine what kinds of information it is important to collect during a postmortem.

Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) involves the formation of a closed, double membrane structure, called the autophagosome. Most of the Atg proteins that are essential for autophagosome formation are evolutionarily conserved between yeast and higher eukaryotes. The functions of some Atg proteins, however, are mediated by highly divergent proteins in mammalian cells. In this stu...
