Pre-steady-state kinetic measurements of 22Na+ uptake by the amiloride-sensitive Na+-H+ exchanger in renal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) were performed at 0 degrees C to characterize the intermediate reactions of the exchange cycle. At 1 mM Na+, the initial time course of Na+ uptake was resolved into three separate components: (i) a lag phase, (ii) an exponential or "burst" phase, and (...

A first isolation of border disease virus (BDV) in Japan was from a pig on a farm without keeping any ruminants. Our previous study showed that this BDV, termed the FNK2012-1 strain, replicated inefficiently in swine-derived cells compared with those of ruminant origin. Pigs inoculated with this virus showed neither clinical symptoms nor viremia. In this study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of...

The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of the tumor border in peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as an indicator of pleural invasion.This retrospective study was performed at a single tertiary center. The analysis of 136 patients with peripheral NSCLC included 101 (74.3%) patients with pathologically proven pleural invasion and 35 (25.7%) patients without pleural invasion. The t...

Proteomics is one among various 'OMICS' fields that have been growing rapidly in the postgenomic era. During the past few years, proteomics has been extensively applied to several fields of medicine to better understand normal physiology, to define the pathophysiology of diseases, and to identify novel biomarkers and new therapeutic targets. This review focuses on current status and future dire...

this study was conducted to evaluate the current management of furrow and border irrigation systems in the dez irrigation network. of the eight farms studied, three grew wheat and one each grew corn, sugar beets, lettuce, sesame and mung beans. the study found water application efficiency in the five farms with furrow irrigation systems to be 25.8% and for the three farms with border irrigation...

I test for welfare-induced migration by comparing AFDC participation in border counties to interior counties in the same state. If migration costs are lower for border county residents, border counties on the high-benefit side of a state border should have higher welfare participation relative to the state's interior counties. Border counties on the low-benefit side should have lower welfare pa...

Border disease virus (BDV) is a recognized virus in the genus Pestivirus and causes border disease (BD) in sheep and goats. Here, a novel BDV strain, JSLS12-01, was identified from sheep in Jiangsu Province, China. The complete coding sequence (CDS) was finished, which provides a better understanding of the molecular evolution of BDV isolates.

Despite an increasing enterprise adoption of IPbased real-time communication systems, large and distributed enterprises have not yet fully realized the benefits of such deployments. Our work explores the architectural challenges and security concerns of a fully IP-based real-time communication infrastructure in such large, multi-site, multivendor enterprises. In this paper, we propose a novel h...
