We have previously shown that the Ste20 kinase encoded by misshapen (msn) functions upstream of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein kinase module in Drosophila. msn is required to activate the Drosophila JNK, Basket (Bsk), to promote dorsal closure of the embryo. A mammalian homolog of Msn, Nck interacting kinase, interacts with the SH3 domains of the SH2-SH3 adapter pro...

In this study, we proposed to modify mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (NH2-TES), aminoethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane (2NH2-TES) and 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino] propyl-trimethoxysilane (3NH2-TES) for binding of cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodexynucleotides (CpG ODN), and investigated the effect of different amino groups of MSNs on the CpG ODN ...

Next generation carriers Internet backbone node arclutecture are proposed that offer sophisticated QoS support including real time voice, video streaming, and VPN. The backbone core node, MSN (Multi-service network) Type-X, has 320 Gb/s throughput and IP V4N6 dual stack forwarding capability and OC-192C full wire-rate forwarding performance. In addition, sophisticated DiiXServ having 4096 virtu...

In recent years, the topic of multi-robot systems has become very popular. These systems have been demonstrated in various applications, including exploration, construction, and warehouse operations. In order for the whole system to function properly, sensor calibrations such as determining the camera frame relative to the IMU frame are important. Compared to the traditional hand-eye & robot-wo...

Background: Coronary slow flow (CSF) phenomenon is described angiographically as delayed progression of the injected contrast agents through the coronary arteries. Aim of this study was to analyze ventricular repolarization in CSF patients by using Tpeak-Tend interval, Tpeak-Tend/QT ratio, Tpeak-Tend/QTc ratio and other repolarization parameters since these parameters are used as predictors for...

Let K = Q(t1, . . . , tk) and a, b, c ∈ K. We give a simple algorithm to find, if it exists, X, Y, Z in K, not all zero, for which aX+bY +cZ = 0.

Bipolar disorders are heritable psychiatric conditions often abstracted by separate animal models for mania and depression. The principal mania models involve transgenic manipulations or treatment with stimulants. An additional approach involves analysis of naturally occurring mania models including an inbred strain our lab has recently characterized, the Madison (MSN) mouse strain. These mice ...

The effect of stress (exerted by hydrostatic pressure of argon ambient enhanced up to 1.2 GPa) on the creation of oxygen-related defects in annealed Czochralski grown silicon (Cz-Si) was investigated. Concentrations of oxygen interstitials and of dislocations in Cz-Si samples with before-created nucleation centres for oxygen precipitation were markedly lower after pressure treatment at 1120 to ...

A straightforward synthesis toward two conjugated alternating copolymers consisting of 2,7-linked carbazole donor (2,7-Cz) and ladderized pentaphenylene with diketone bridge (LPPK) acceptor chromophores is reported: the copolymers differ by the repeat unit ratio between the 2,7-Cz and LPPK units within the backbone; energy and charge transfer properties and supramolecular organizations of donor...
