posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a common response to traumatic events. a cognitive model proposed that ptsd becomes chronic when individuals process the trauma in a way that leads to a sense of serious, current threat. the sense of threat arises as an outcome of excessively negative appraisals of the trauma and its sequel and a disturbance of autobiographical memory. variations in the n...

in this study, changes in speed and turbulence intensity in the wake of a peugeot model and the drag coefficient changes with increases vehicle speed in unsteady flow measured and evaluated. the blow open circuit wind tunnel to simulate fluid flow is used. disturbances and nominal maximum speed of the device, respectively is, 30 m / s and 0.01%. has been continuously increasing speed by an inve...

background and objectives: sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) is one of the main surfactant components in detergents and cosmetics, used in high amounts as a detergent in products such as shampoos, car wash soap and toothpaste. therefore, its bioremediation by suitable microorganisms is important. alkylsulfatase is an enzyme that hydrolyses sulfate -ester bonds to give inorganic sulfate and alcohol. ...

The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR; alternate gene names, CaR or Casr) is a membrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptor. CaR is highly expressed in the parathyroid gland, and is activated by extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)(o)). Mice homozygous for null mutations in the CaR gene (CaR(-/-)) die shortly after birth because of the effects of severe hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia....

The compatibility problems of the mini car in car-tocar frontal collision and car-pedestrian accident are discussed using accident data and computer simulations. In our analysis of the accident data in Japan, the number of fatalities was investigated using the vehicle masses and classes. It was found that the cars with identical mass are most compatible since the injuries per accident are minim...

Adenovirus is an important respiratory pathogen. Adenovirus fiber from most serotypes co-opts the Coxsackie-Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) to bind and enter cells. However, CAR is a cell adhesion molecule localized on the basolateral membrane of polarized epithelia. Separation from the lumen of the airways by tight junctions renders airway epithelia resistant to inhaled adenovirus infection. Althoug...

To broaden our repertoire of monoclonal antibodies against CAR (coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor), we inoculated mice with an expression vector containing the cDNA encoding human CAR extracellular and transmembrane sequence, and boosted the response by inoculation with soluble human CAR protein produced in E. coli. Of the hybridomas obtained following this immunization protocol, one secre...
