Restricted-spin coupled-cluster single-double plus perturbative triple excitation @RCCSD~T!# potential energy functions ~PEFs! were calculated for the X̃ A9 and à A8 states of HPCl employing the augmented correlation-consistent polarized-valence-quadruple-z ~aug-cc-pVQZ! basis set. Further geometry optimization calculations were carried out on both electronic states of HPCl at the RCCSD~T! level...

Drought stress is the most important factor limiting successful production of agricultural crops worldwide. The response some almond cultivars grafted on GF677 rootstock was studied to drought at a research greenhouse in Horticultural Science Research Institute Karaj, Iran, 2016-2017 growing season. plant materials included 12 (Prunus dulcis Mill.) genotypes/cultivars, including ‘Sh10’, ‘Saba’,...

Cotranslatlonal insertion of selenocysteine Into selenoenzymes is mediated by a specialized transfer RNA, the tRNA. We have carried out the determination of the solution structure of the eucaryotic tRNA*. Based on the enzymatic and chemical probing approach, we show that the secondary structure bears a few unprecedented features like a 9 bp amlnoacld-, a 4 bp thymlneand a 6 bp dlhydrouridine-st...

The blood vessels (BV) of the brain stem show different patterns of development, and nutrient requeriments, metabolism and the activity of the different nuclei of the mesencephalon differ from one nucleus to another. The density of BV indirectly explains the blood flow intensity and physiological activity of the nuclei, and may explain the varying degrees of vulnerability of neurons to patholog...

Recently, there have been some emerging processor designs that the CPU and the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) are integrated in a single chip and share Last Level Cache (LLC). However, the main memory bandwidth of such coupled CPU-GPU architectures can be much lower than that of a discrete GPU. As a result, current GPU query coprocessing paradigms can severely suffer from memory stalls. In this...

The pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma is complex and not fully known yet. This study aims to screen and identify the differentially expressed proteins in peripheral blood and liver tissue samples from rat hepatocellular carcinoma and to further clarify the pathogenesis and discover the specific tumor markers and molecular targets of hepatocellular carcinoma. The hepatocellular carcinoma ...

BACKGROUND Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is associated with impairments in hepatic insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling through cell growth, survival, and metabolic pathways. Since not all heavy drinkers develop ALD, co-factors may be important. Epidemiologic data indicate that most heavy drinkers smoke tobacco and experimental data revealed that low-level nitrosamine exposure...
