Abstract The features of tide and tidal current in the east China seas were studied by FES2014 data gauge station data. It is found that well agreement with observation. Among four major components (M2, S2, K1, O1), M2 strongest component maximum amplitude (tidal current) exceeds 100 cm (100 cm/s), followed S2 its reaches 60 (50 cm/s). results indicate are dominated semi-diurnal tides. There am...

Ligand-gated ion channel receptors mediate the response of fast neurotransmitters by opening in less than a millisecond. Here, we investigated the activation mechanism of a serotonin-gated receptor (5-HT(3A)) by systematically introducing cysteine substitutions throughout the pore-lining M1-M2 loop and M2 transmembrane domain. We hypothesized that multiple cysteines in the narrowest region of t...

In this paper, we introduce and test two new sequence-based protein scoring systems (i.e. S1, S2) for assessing the likelihood that a given protein hybrid will be functional. By binning together amino acids with similar properties (i.e. volume, hydrophobicity and charge) the scoring systems S1 and S2 allow for the quantification of the severity of mismatched interactions in the hybrids. The S2 ...

Bushehr Bay is situated along the northern Iranian coasts of the Persian Gulf, between 28°52΄ and 29°5΄ north latitude and 50°42΄ and 50°52΄east longitude. In this study COHERENS, which is a threedimensional hydrodynamic model, was employed to simulate surface and under surface currents in the Bushehr Bay. The atmospheric forces and four main tidal constituents M2, S2, K1, O1 and also boundary ...

ion of the morphism 〈u, v〉 in the subscone from 〈S,m,A〉⊗̃〈S1,m1, A1〉 to 〈S2,m2, A2〉 is then the pair 〈ẽ2 ◦ ũ,Λ(v)〉 given by the diagram: S  m // ũ ## Λ(u◦e.1) 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 |A|

We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices M2(C) = CZ2 ·CZ2. We also further extend the coalgebra version of theory introduced previously, to include frame resolutions and corresponding covariant derivatives and torsions. As an example, we construct q-monopoles on all ...

The vacuolating cytotoxin and the cytotoxin-associated protein, encoded by vacA and cagA, respectively, are important virulence determinants of Helicobacter pylori. Sixty-five H. pylori strains were isolated from dyspeptic patients (19 with peptic ulcer disease, 43 with chronic gastritis, and 3 with gastric cancer) and studied for differences in the vacA and cagA genes and their relationship to...

The frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in population can depend on the organism resistance, genetic condition, and bacterial strains virulence. A vacA gene, of mosaic structure, which encodes vacuolating cytotoxin is one of the known genes of H. pylori. The existence of several different genotypes of s and m regions enables the formation of numerous combinations of vacA gene genome. The...

OBJECTIVE Although there is consensus that excess adiposity is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes, its relationship with weight change is less clear. This study investigates the relative impact of BMI at baseline and short-term (2- or 3-year) weight changes on the incidence of diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prospective data were collected from a population-based cohort of middle-...
