In a well-designed enterprise risk management (ERM) program, the firm integrates risk management into the strategic planning process, addressing strategic risk, financial risk, operational risk, and hazard risk under a single overarching process. This is particularly important to large financial firms, such as property and casualty (P&C) insurers, which face a diverse set of risks. We find that...

To ensure normal development and maintenance of homeostasis, the extensive developmental potential of stem cells must be functionally distinguished from the limited developmental potential of transit amplifying cells. Yet the mechanisms that restrict the developmental potential of transit amplifying cells are poorly understood. Here we show that the evolutionarily conserved transcription factor...

OBJECTIVE This study was to aggregate the prevalence and risks of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and determine the possible causes of the varied estimates. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES The search strategy was designed prospectively. We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases from inception to July 2016. Reference lists of the included literatures were r...

The aim of this study was to determine both the occurrence and the genetic basis of resistance to erythromycin among 1 235 Staphylococcus spp. isolates obtained between 2000 and 2006 from (a) raw milk and meat (1 704 samples), (b) foodstuffs produced from these (451 samples), and (c) contact surfaces at processing plants and dairy farms (363 samples) in the Czech Republic. Isolates were screene...

raspberry waste, obtained from two cultivars, meeker (erm) and willamette (erw) was subjected to evaluation antioxidants and antitumour activities as a potential source of phenolics. some phenolic acids and flavonoids were identified and quantified by hplc. antioxidant activity was tested by measuring ability to scavenge dpph• and •oh by esr spectroscopy. ic50dpph• varied from 0.67 for erm to 0...

Aerosol optical depth (AOD), an important indicator of atmospheric aerosol load, characterizes the impacts on radiation balance and turbidity. The nesting Elterman model a spatiotemporal linear mixed-effects (ST-LME) model, which is referred to as ST-Elterman retrieval (ST-ERM), was employed improve temporal resolution AOD prediction. This produces daily in Southern Central Hebei Plain (SCHP) r...

While studying the functions of CCM3/PDCD10, a gene encoding an adaptor protein whose mutation results in vascular malformations, we have found that it is involved in a novel response to oxidative stress that results in phosphorylation and activation of the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family of proteins. This phosphorylation protects cells from accidental cell death induced by oxidative stress. ...

in epithelial integrity, polarity, and junction formation was suggested for the Drosophila ERM ortholog Dmoesin, which was proposed to act by antagonizing rho signaling rather than by providing a structural function (Polesello et al., 2002; Speck et al., 2003). A role of ERM Verena Göbel,1,* Peter L. Barrett,1 David H. Hall,2 and John T. Fleming1 Laboratory of Developmental Immunology Massachus...

Alterations in the erm(A) regulatory region of six clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and one of Staphylococcus haemolyticus displaying a constitutive resistance phenotype were investigated. Anovel deletion of 10 bp with respect to the corresponding sequence of Tn554 was identified in the attenuator of a constitutively expressed erm(A) gene of one of the S. epidermidis isolates. Th...
