Quick and economical ways of detecting of planimetric and volumetric changes of forest areas are in high demand. A research platform, called FORSAT (A satellite processing platform for high resolution forest assessment), was developed for the extraction of 3D geometric information from VHR (very-high resolution) imagery from satellite optical sensors and automatic change detection. This 3D fore...

Oil-in-water Pickering emulsions prepared by food-grade particles have gained increasing interest on account of their potential application in the delivery system for lipophilic active compounds. In this project, hydrolyzed rice glutelin (HRG) nanoparticles were successfully fabricated inducing different concentrations ethanol. The structure, interfacial properties HRG nanoparticles, emulsion s...

We analyzed the transverse momentum spectra (pT) reported by NA61/SHINE and NA49 experiments in inelastic proton–proton (pp) central Lead–Lead (Pb?Pb), Argon–Scandium (Ar?Sc), Beryllium–Beryllium (Be?Be) collisions with Blast-wave model Boltzmann–Gibbs (BWBG) statistics. The BGBW was good agreement experimental data. were able to extract flow velocity (?T), kinetic freeze-out temperature (T0), ...

Heteromerization can play an important role in regulating the activation and/or signal transduction of most forms of receptors, including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The study of receptor heteromerization has evolved extensively with the emergence of resonance energy transfer based approaches such as bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). Here, we report an adaptation of our Re...

Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most significant bacterial pathogens in the human population mostly causing superficial and uncomplicated infections (pharyngitis and impetigo) but also invasive and life-threatening disease. We have previously identified a virulence determinant, protein sHIP, which is secreted at higher levels by an invasive compared to a non-invasive strain of S. pyogenes....

Amplification and overexpression of the HER-2 (neu/ erbB-2) gene in human breast cancer are clearly important events that lead to the transformation of mammary epithelial cells in approximately one-third of breast cancer patients. Heterodimer interactions between HER-2 and HER-3 (erbB-3) are activated by neu differentiation factor/heregulin (HRG), and HER-2/HER-3 heterodimers are constitutively...
