The 5'-phosphoinositol phosphatase SHIP negatively regulates signaling pathways triggered by antigen, cytokine and Fc receptors in both lymphocytes and myeloid cells. Mice with germ-line (null) deletion of SHIP develop a myeloproliferative-like syndrome that causes early lethality. Lymphocyte anomalies have been observed in SHIP-null mice, but it is unclear whether they are due to an intrinsic ...

This paper proposed ship classification based on covariance of discrete wavelet using probability Neural Network A set of ship profiles are used to build a covariance matrix by discrete wavelet transform using Neural Network. It is found that this method for ship classifier design offers good class discriminacy when trained with 5 ship classes. This method can discriminate noisy ship very well....

Presently, the understanding of bacterial enteric diseases in the community and their virulence factors relies almost exclusively on clinical disease reporting and examination of clinical pathogen isolates. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of an alternative approach that monitors potential enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) prevalence an...

A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of various irrigation regimes on some metabolic pools of wheat and alfalfa plants. The photosynthetic pigments and soluble proteins of the tested plants significantly increased when irrigated with sewage amended with Scenedesmus quadricauda or Nostoc sp. On the other hand, soluble carbohydrates decreased in wheat shoots at different treatmen...

Regulatory T cells (T(regs)) play a pivotal role in preventing autoimmunity, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and organ graft rejection. We previously showed that either germline or induced SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP) deficiency in the host abrogates GVHD. Here we show that SHIP deficiency promotes an increase of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T(regs) and CD4(+)CD25(-)FoxP3(+)"n...

Reliable ship detection plays an important role in both military and civil fields. However, it makes the task difficult with high-resolution remote sensing images with complex background and various types of ships with different poses, shapes and scales. Related works mostly used gray and shape features to detect ships, which obtain results with poor robustness and efficiency. To detect ships m...

Ship detection and classification with space-borne SAR has many potential applications within the maritime surveillance, fishery activity management, monitoring ship traffic, and military security. While ship detection techniques with SAR imagery are well established, ship classification is still an open issue. One of the main reasons may be ascribed to the difficulties on acquiring the require...

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc in response to B cell Ag receptor (BCR) engagement creates binding sites for the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of Grb2. This facilitates the recruitment of both Grb2. Sos complexes and Grb2. SHIP complexes to the plasma membrane where Sos can activate Ras and SH2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) can dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosph...

AIMS To assess the risk for work related symptoms among sewage workers in Sweden using a postal questionnaire. METHODS All municipalities in Sweden were contacted and asked to provide addresses of sewage workers and controls. Controls were recruited among other municipal workers not exposed to sewage, such as workers in drinking water plants and gardeners. A questionnaire was sent to the subj...

According to the IPCC guidelines, CO2 emissions from biomass should be excluded from the entire amount of CO2 emissions when calculating CO2 emissions and should be separately reported due to the “carbon neutrality.” Sewage sludge is one of the representative biomass fuels. And it is mixed with fossil fuels in terms of greenhouse gas reduction or is used as fuel to replace fossil fuels by itsel...
