In many animals, progression of developmental stages is temporally controlled by steroid hormones. Drosophila, the level ecdysone titer oscillates and stage transitions, such as larval molting metamorphosis, are induced at each peaks. Ecdysone also peaks mid-embryogenesis embryonic necessary for morphogenesis several organs, although regulatory mechanisms organogenesis dependent on signaling st...

We discover the presence of local van der Waals (vdW) interactions at cis amide bond in crystals isobutyroyl–Pro–Val–OMe.

For staying competitive in an emerging European market the banking firm must respond quickly to multiple changes in market conditions. In many cases, these changes have worked to promote decentralization. However, local decisions need to be coordinated. Especially when coping with increasing restrictions to risk-taking via regulations imposed by the European regulation authorities, the need for...

There is broad interest in designing nanostructured materials that can interact with cells and regulate key downstream functions1–7. In particular, materials with nanoscale features may enable control over multivalent interactions, which involve the simultaneous binding of multiple ligands on one entity to multiple receptors on another and are ubiquitous throughout biology8–10. Cellular signal ...

We propose an optimization approach to flow control where the objective is to maximize the aggregate source utility over their transmission rates. We view network links and sources as processors of a distributed computation system to solve the dual problem using a gradient projection algorithm. In this system, sources select transmission rates that maximize their own benefits, utility minus ban...

 The a im of th is paper was to study the effects w hey pro t e in c oat i ng on ch e m ic al a nd physic al properties of gut t ed K i l ka dur i ng f roz en stor a ge. Coating of Kilka has done by dipping in whey protein solution with different concentrations of 3, 7, 10 and 13%, for 1h. Then, after being packed in polyethylene dishes, they were covered in cellophane blanket and stored in -18...
