where x ∈ R is represents the variables, c ∈ R defines the objective function, and A ∈ Rm×n and b ∈ R define the constraints. The above form is fairly general; one can model various types of constraints in this form. For example, a constraint 〈a1, x〉 ≥ b1 can be written as 〈−a1, x〉 ≤ −b1. Or, a constraint 〈a1, x〉 = b1 can be written as 〈a1, x〉 ≤ b1 and 〈−a1, x〉 ≤ −b1. The objective function can...

Cyclin genes and their products are important regulatory participants in the eukaryotic cell cycle. It is well established that cyclin B1 protein forms a complex with cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), which, when activated, initiates mitosis. We have previously established that cyclin B1 gene expression is posttranscriptionally regulated in regenerating rat liver after 70% partial hepatectomy (...

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) B1 is a RNA-binding protein of Mr 37,000. We previously reported that hnRNP B1 was specifically overexpressed in the nuclei of human lung cancer cells, particularly in squamous cell carcinoma (E. Sueoka et al., Cancer Res., 59: 1404-1407, 1999). We extended this study to determine whether hnRNP BL was overexpressed in roentgenographically occult c...

Abel’s identity a1b1+a2b2+· · ·+ambm = (b1+b2+· · ·+bm)am+(b1+· · ·+bm−1)(am−1−am)+· · ·+b1(a1−a2) is used to give a refinement of a recent theorem of Sellers.

In the literature, a deficiency of magnesium or vitamin B1 in alcoholics is considered of etiologic importance in the development of delirium tremens or alcoholic encephalopathy (AE). As AE are comprised mnestic disorders, so severe as to lead to social invalidation, Korsakoff syndrome and dementia. Upon admission, the plasma concentrations of magnesium and vitamin B1 were determined in cases w...

We report far-infrared Herschel observations obtained between 70 μm and 500 μm of two star-forming dusty condensations, [HKM99] B1-bS and [HKM99] B1-bN, in the B1 region of the Perseus star-forming cloud. In the western part of the Perseus cloud, B1-bS is the only source detected in all six PACS and SPIRE photometric bands, but it is not visible in the Spitzer map at 24 μm. B1-bN is clearly det...

The present study was performed to: (a) evaluate the effects of kinin B1 (Sar[D-Phe8]-des-Arg9-BK; 10 nmol/kg) and B2 (bradykinin (BK); 10 nmol/kg) receptor agonists on plasma extravasation in selected rat tissues; (b) determine the contribution of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100 microg/kg) to the effects triggered by B1 and B2 agonists; and (c) characterize the selectivity of B1 ([Leu8]desArg9...

Sodium channels consist of a pore-forming a subunit and auxiliary b1 and b2 subunits. The subunit b1 alters the kinetics and voltage-dependence of sodium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes or mammalian cells. Functional modulation in oocytes depends on speci®c regions in the N-terminal extracellular domain of b1, but does not require the intracellular C-terminal domain. Functional modulation...
