BACKGROUND In the eukaryotic cell the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a key enzyme in signal transduction and represents the main target of the second messenger cAMP. Here we describe the design, synthesis and characterisation of specifically tailored cAMP analogs which can be utilised as a tool for affinity enrichment and purification as well as for proteomics based analyses of cAMP bin...

SUMMARY Earlier studies demonstrate psychological consequences of extraordinary physical and emotional hardships experienced by prisoners of war. In August 1990 first groupsor Iranian prisoners of war returned from their captivities in Iraq.

The main goal is explore capabilities GPR extract datasets from ephemeral features, such as temporary or siege works, among others. information aims maximise data available before excavation, orienting it areas that could provide good results ter...

INTRODUCTION Simulation-based boot camps provide novice trainees with an accelerated introduction to the essential skills needed for successful clinical management and professional development in a format that is valued by both residents and faculty. Boot camps have been described in numerous surgical and medical disciplines, including pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, cardiot...

BACKGROUND Ungulate movements are influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors, which may affect connectivity between key resource areas and seasonal ranges. In northwestern Alaska, one important question regarding human impacts on ungulate movement involves caribou (Rangifer tarandus) response to autumn hunting and related aircraft activity. While concerns have been voiced by local hu...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this prospective study was to investigate the status of acute respiratory tract infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae in tsunami disaster evacuation camps. METHODS Nasopharyngeal swabs (NP) of 324 internally displaced persons (IDP) in 3 different tsunami disaster evacuation camps of Sri Lanka were collected between March 18th and 2...

The genus Edwardsiella comprises a genetically distinct taxon related to other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It consists of bacteria differing strongly in their biochemical and physiological features, natural habitats, and pathogenic properties. Intrinsic resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) is a specific property of the genus Edwardsiella. In particular, Edwardsiel...

Purpose This paper explores social resilience through the lenses of migration. It specifically studies role community architects in building socially resilient refugee camps which are human settlements characterized by a transient and heterogeneous with unique vulnerabilities. These managed exceptional governance arrangements between hegemonic counter-hegemonic humanitarian organizations. Desig...

This study examines the link between poverty and migration into and out of camps, using recent (1999) household survey data on the refugee camp populations in Jordan and a binomial logistic regression. The findings show a clear clustering of poverty in the camps, where about a third of households are poor. Results from several nested regression models show that in-migration is not the cause of ...
