Protein kinase C (PKC)-potentiated inhibitory phosphoprotein of myosin phosphatase (CPI) was detected in human platelets. Like smooth muscle CPI-17, in vitro phosphorylation of platelet CPI by PKC inhibited the activity of myosin phosphatase containing the PP1delta catalytic subunit and the 130-kd myosin-binding subunit (MBS). Treatment of intact platelets with thrombin or the stable thromboxan...

Abstract We studied 52 varieties and breeding samples from the collection of medicinal hyssop in Botanical Garden Belgorod State University (2017-2020). Of these, 16 domestic selection included Register Breeding Achievements approved for use Russian Federation, as well 33 obtained by wild cenopopulations Volokonovsky district region 3 local ‘Volokonovsky’ (2 samples) ‘Lazar’ (1 sample). As a st...

CPI-17 (Protein kinase C potentiated phosphatase inhibitor of 17 KD) mediates some agonist-induced smooth muscle contraction by suppressing the myosin phosphatase in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Physiological relevant kinase(s) that phosphorylate CPI17 remains to be identified. Several previous studies have shown that some agonist-induced CPI-17 phosphorylation in smooth muscle tissues w...

This paper reports on a study to answer the research question; why do dairy farmers adopt (or not adopt as the case may be) centre pivot irrigation (CPI) in the Central Goulburn Irrigation District (CGID) of southeastern Australia? Twenty-two dairy farmers were interviewed. Ten of these farmers had adopted CPI, four were considering adopting, and eight of the farmers were not planning to adopt ...

In this work we present Cutting Plane Inference (CPI) for MAP inference in Markov Logic. CPI incrementally solves partial Ground Markov Networks, adding formulae only if they are violated in the current solution. We show dramatic improvements in terms of e ciency, and discuss scenarios where CPI is likely to be fast.

This paper uses STR (Smooth Transition Regression) model to study the nonlinear relation between CPI in China and international oil price. The results show that the change of CPI in current period has a positive effect to the next period, and the non-linear effect of international oil price almost completely reveals the changing characteristics of CPI.

RECENT economic developments have aroused substantial interest in the treatment in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the cost of shelter for homeowners.' From December 1977, when the latest version of the CPI was introduced, until December 1980, the all-items CPI increased at an average annual rate of 11.6%, while the homeownership component increased at an average annual rate of 16.2%. Relativ...

BACKGROUND Choice of hospital based on comparative performance information (CPI) was introduced for Dutch healthcare consumers at least 5 years ago, but CPI use has not yet become commonplace. Our aim was to assess the role of patients' expectations regarding variation in the quality of hospital care in determining whether they search for CPI. METHODS A questionnaire (for a cross-sectional su...

OBJECTIVES To compare non-invasive determination of cardiac index (CI) by whole body electrical bioimpedance using the NICaS apparatus and Doppler echocardiography, and the role of cardiac power index (Cpi) and total peripheral resistance index (TPRi) calculation during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). SUBJECTS AND METHODS We enrolled 60 consecutive patients undergoing DSE. Patients ...
