MAPL (mitochondria-associated protein ligase, also called MULAN/GIDE/MUL1) is a multifunctional mitochondrial outer membrane protein found in human cells that contains a unique BAM (beside a membrane) domain and a C-terminal RING-finger domain. MAPL has been implicated in several processes that occur in animal cells such as NF-kB activation, innate immunity and antiviral signaling, suppression ...

In this article, I discuss how educators can use comic books, like Marvel’s Ms. Marvel, to shatter adolescent stereotypes and constructs. Using a modified version of Petrone et al.’s (2015) Youth Lens analysis, analyze Volumes 1 2, focusing on characterization, images, themes centered relationships between adolescents adults, as well their inner struggles play an important role in world. identi...

Bam Project started suddenly after the earthquake on December 26, 2003, that collapsed an important cultural heritage in south-east Iran, Citadel of Bam. This paper briefly summarizes our nearly eight years of effort for post-disaster reconstruction of Bam Citadel. The paper starts with the framework of the project that consists of architectural process and conceptual process and we discuss the...

Cell-based microarrays are emerging as a tool for analyzing the functions of genes in cells. However, partly due to the difficulty of cell immobilization, the application of this method has been limited to adherent cells. We previously reported a method that rapidly and strongly attached living nonadherent cells to glass slides modified with a cell membrane anchoring reagent, designated a bioco...

We report the successful growth of BaFe12O19–BaTiO3 (BaM-BTO) bilayer thin films using pulsed laser deposition, considering different crystallographic textures; BTO on (0001)-BaM and BaM (100)-BTO. Our study involved bilayers, individual ferrite titanate films, targets used in their growth. Raman spectroscopy X-Ray diffraction were to examine structure BaM-BTO indicating that there is no format...

Soil organic matter mineralization changed by land-use types is still not clearly understood. In this study, soils from typical including adjacent plantations of bamboo (Bam), camphor (Cam), and tea (Tea) were chosen to systematically investigate the role carbon components microbial community compositions in Ultisol. The followed sequence Bam < Cam Tea. higher contents labile pools Tea than ...

Although detecting communities in networks has attracted considerable recent attention, estimating the number of is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a model, which replicates generative process mixed-membership stochastic block model (MMSB) within generic allocation framework Bayesian (BAM) and BAM-MMSB. contrast to traditional blockmodels, BAM-MMSB considers observations as Poi...

Bovine alveolar macrophages (BAM) were examined for the expression of beta-defensins and to determine whether their expression could be upregulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as observed with beta-defensins expressed in bovine tracheal epithelial cells. Four beta-defensins were expressed constitutively in BAM, with bovine neutrophil beta-defensin (BNBD)-4 and BNBD-5 being the most p...

In adult stem cell lineages, progenitor cells commonly undergo mitotic transit amplifying (TA) divisions before terminal differentiation, allowing production of many differentiated progeny per stem cell division. Mechanisms that limit TA divisions and trigger the switch to differentiation may protect against cancer by preventing accumulation of oncogenic mutations in the proliferating populatio...

The possibility of using sendust (FeAlSi) as the soft magnetic underlayer for hexagonal barium ferrite (BaM) and strontium ferrite (SrM) was studied. Sendust films were found to retain their soft magnetic properties with a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) at 800 C for 60 s, which is necessary to crystallize the as-deposited amorphous BaM and SrM films. Several film structures with sendust films as th...
