A strip of 20th-century landscape woodland planted alongside a 17th to mid-18th century ancient and semi-natural (ASNW) was investigated by applied aerial spectroscopy using an unmanned vehicle (UAV) with multispectral image camera (MSI). simple classification approach normalized difference spectral index (NDSI), derived principal component analysis (PCA), enabled the identification non-native ...

Human DNA helicase IV, a novel enzyme, was purified to homogeneity from HeLa cells and characterized. The activity was measured by assaying the unwinding of 32P labeled 17-mer annealed to M13 ss DNA. From 440g of HeLa cells we obtained 0.31 mg of pure protein. Helicase IV was free of DNA topoisomerases, DNA ligase and nuclease activities. The apparent molecular weight is 100 kDa. It requires a ...

Background New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) occurs frequently in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and is associated with increased subsequent cardiovascular mortality. However, only a few studies directly evaluated the relationship of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) or left atrium diameter (LAD) and NOAF following AMI. Materials and Methods MEDLINE®, EMBASE® and ...

Using a strand-displacement assay with 32P labeled oligonucleotide annealed to M13 ssDNA we have purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized a novel DNA unwinding enzyme from HeLa cell nuclei, human DNA helicase V (HDH V). This is present in extremely low abundance in the cells and has the highest turnover rate among other human helicases. From 300 grams of cultured cells only 0.012 mg o...

AIMS To investigate whether weight category (underweight, average weight, overweight, and obese) at age 7.5 predicts bullying involvement at 8.5 years. Models were tested separately for boys and girls to investigate gender differences in association patterns. METHODS Prospective cohort study in southwest England. Height and weight were measured in children at age 7.5 (n = 8210). BMI (kg/m2) w...

Defining processes that are synthetic lethal with p53 mutations in cancer cells may reveal possible therapeutic strategies. In this study, we report the development of a signal-oriented computational framework for cancer pathway discovery in this context. We applied our bipartite graph-based functional module discovery algorithm to identify transcriptomic modules abnormally expressed in multipl...

Purpose Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and knowledge-based (KBV) theories, this study contributes to deepen knowledge that corporate social responsibility (CSR) exerts firms' innovation, considering role played by cooperation. The research also seeks ascertain factors influence development of business Design/methodology/approach database used is Community Innovation Survey (CIS, 2014)...
