This paper examined the influence of academic motivation, satisfaction, and resilience secondary school students’ academic confidence in Ogun State, Nigeria, with the view to establishing which of the three variables would best determine students’ academic confidence. Twohypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. The sample consisted of2160students randomly selected in 24 secondary sch...

The Nf2 tumor suppressor gene product merlin is related to the membrane-cytoskeleton linker proteins of the band 4.1 superfamily, including ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERMs). Merlin is regulated by phosphorylation in a Rac/cdc42-dependent fashion. We report that the phosphorylation of merlin at serine 518 is induced by the p21-activated kinase PAK2. This is demonstrated by biochemical fractiona...

Cu/ZnO catalysts were synthesized on Al2O3-ZrO2 support via impregnation method with addition of manganese and niobium promoters. Samples calcined at 181, 350 518 ºC. Different characterization techniques such as H2-TPR CO2-TPD used to study the catalytic reduction behavior basicity, respectively. studies shows that all occurred range temperature between 237 ºC 265 The profiles showed calcinati...

BACKGROUND We report the outcome of radical cystectomy for patients with invasive bladder cancer, who did not have regional lymph node or distant metastases, at 21 hospitals. METHODS Retrospective, non-randomized, multi-institutional pooled data were analyzed to evaluate outcomes of patients who received radical cystectomy. Between 1991 and 1995, 518 patients with invasive bladder cancer were...

Abstract A 72-year-old male patient who presented with a painless right sided scrotal swelling for few months. History of stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) since 2015- under surveillance by hematology team. On examination; 10 X cm hard non-tender right-sided mass, normal left testicle, no peripheral lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. WBC count = 17.5 × 109 /L neutrophils 4.39 & lymphoc...

The human kinome comprises 518 protein kinases, of which approximately 10% lack one or more the conserved amino acids necessary for catalytic activity [...]

We present low-resolution absorption-line spectra of three candidate close (< 3) companions to the low redshift QSOs 3CR323.1, PG1700+518 and PKS2135−147. The spectra were obtained with LRIS on the Keck telescopes and with the Faint Object Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. For 3CR323.1 and PG1700+518, we measure relative velocities that are consistent with an association ...
