The high rate of deforestation and fragmentation elephant habitat on Sumatra Island has triggered human-elephant conflict (HEC) in Island, Indonesia. This brings negative impacts humans elephants. Despite numerous efforts having been made to solve this problem, the HEC continues occur remaining enclave every year. harmonious coexistence between elephants could be improved through mitigation pro...

Entry of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the prototype member of the rhabdovirus family, occurs by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, during traversal through the endosomal compartments, the VSV G protein acquires a low-pH-induced fusion-competent form, allowing for fusion of the viral membrane with endosomal and lysosomal membranes. This fusion event releases genomic RNA into the c...

The present study was undertaken to determine whether endometrial cancer cell line HEC-1-A differ from nontransformed cells, in that the cAMP and protein kinase C pathways may enhance IGF-I effects in mitogenesis by acting at the G1 phase of the cell cycle instead of G0. Immunofluorescence staining of HEC-1-A cells using the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) monoclonal antibody and flow...

The swift fox (Vulpes velox) is a small canid currently listed as endangered in the state of Nebraska. Current and future construction of the Heartland Expressway Corridor (HEC) through the Nebraska panhandle may be a cause for concern for resident swift fox populations. Current swift fox presence along the roadway will be documented before construction continues. We surveyed for swift foxes wi...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds on the antioxidative defense system and oxidative stress in rats fed a high fat . high cholesterol diet. Rats were divided into four experimental groups which were composed of high fat . high cholesterol diet group (HF), high fat . high cholesterol diet with 0.1% ethanol extracts from red pe...

Abstract This research aims to map flood inundated areas under changing climate in the Boyo watershed of Southern Ethiopia. A semi-distributed physically based Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and Center-River Analysis (HEC-RAS) were used simulate events maps, respectively, for scenarios. The bias-corrected data four models baseline (1976–2005), mid-term (2041–...

The effects of specific and non-specific regulation of matriptase on endometrial cancer cells in vitro were investigated. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expression of matriptase and hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-1 (HAI-1) in RL-952, HEC-1A, and HEC-1B endometrial cancer cells were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot. The cells were inf...

According to the hypothesis of extended cognition (HEC, hereafter), human cognitive processing extends beyond the boundary of the human organism. 2 philosophy of cognitive science; HEC is supposed to reveal something important about human beings' core cognitive faculties and, in doing so, reshape the study of human cognition. Although many authors have reacted to HEC with reasoned skepticism, 2...

Reliable estimates of river stream fl ow and fl ood zoning maps are needed for water resourcesmanagement such as fl ood mitigation, water supply, dam construction and irrigation. Flood zoning needsaccurate data and is one of the non-structural fl ood management methods. This paper describes theapplication of HEC-RAS and GIS model to determine fl oodplains maps for the part of Sardabrud Rivertha...

The cell fate determinant Numb orchestrates numerous cell physiological and pathological processes and previous evidence has indicated that Numb expression is associated with tumorigenesis. The present study investigated the potential role of Numb in endometrial cancer (EC). Numb expression was compared between the normal endometrium and EC tissue by immunohistochemistry, and the protein levels...
