The Mxii protein functions in a regulatory network with members of the c-Myc family, In which c-Myc activates transcription and stimulates cell proliferation, and Mxii negatively regulates these actions. Inactiva tioa of the Mill gene could, therefore, inhibit differentiation and enhance proliferation in the presence of normal levels of c-Myc, and thus MXIJ is a potential tumor suppressor gene....

The effects of particle size uniformity and mill type used to grind corn were determined in three experiments. In Exp. 1, 120 pigs (47.8 kg initial BW) were used. Treatments were 1) a 40:60 blend of coarsely rolled (in a roller mill) and finely ground (in a hammermill) corn with a large standard deviation (sgw) of particle size (sgw of 2.7), 2) hammermilled corn with an sgw of 2.3, and 3) rolle...

Pyrokinin (PK) peptides localize to the central and peripheral nervous systems of arthropods, but their actions in the CNS have yet to be studied in any species. Here, we identify PK peptide family members in the crab Cancer borealis and characterize their actions on the gastric mill (chewing) and pyloric (filtering) motor circuits in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG). We identified PK-like imm...

A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

this study was focused on removal of various parameters in paper mill effluent using a method called bioremediation by azolla caroliniana.  the experimental investigations have been carried out using azolla caroliniana for conducting the sorption study with various dilution ratios (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10), ph (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and biomass (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 g). the maximum removal ...

The paper presents development and validation of coal mill model (including the action of classifier) to be used for improved coal mill control. The model is developed by using the mass and heat balance equations of the coal mill. Genetic Algorithm is used to estimate the unknown parameters that are used in the model validation. The advantage is that the raw data used in modeling can be obtaine...

Pulp and paper mill situated in the complex terrain of northern Slovakia, in the close vicinity of the city of Ružomberok, continuously releases to atmosphere 30 kg of water vapor per second. Impressive clouds above the industrial complex have given rise to concerns from the side of local citizens, suspecting the emissions to be responsible for the local increase in precipitation. Therefore, a ...

An empirical study of the bivariate probability distribution characterizing a full set of two consecutive price increments x and y for a group of stocks at time scales ranging from one minute to thirty minutes reveals asymmetric structures with respect to the axes y = 0, y = x, x = 0 and y = −x. All four asymmetry patterns remarkably resemble a four-blade mill called market mill pattern. The fo...

A huge number of workers are employed in traditional rice mills where they are potentially exposed to dust. In this study a dust collection system was developed to capture the airborne dust in the rice mill. The feeding and sieving section of the mill was identified as major dust creating zone. The dust was captured by creating suitable air stream at feeding and sieving sections of the mill and...
