one of the main concerns of teachers in modern learner-centered approaches is whether published teaching materials can meet the needs of students at a particular leaning situation or the teachers ought to prepare their own materials. this dilemma gets worse when the teaching situation includes a textbook prescribed by an authority such as the ministry of education. in such cases, the teacher ha...

The use of supplementary cementing materials is gradually increasing due to technical, economical, and environmental benefits. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are most commonly used in producing ready mixed concrete (RMC). A quantitative understanding of the efficiency of SCMs as a mineral admixture in concrete is essential for its effective utilisation. The performance and effective...

Plasmids and antibodies cDNA encoding AR from pSG5-AR was cloned into pSG5.HA, pSG5.FLAG, and pGEX-4T1, and cDNA encoding GATA2 (Open Biosystems) was cloned into pSG5.HA and pGEX-4T1. To generate a lentiviral vector expressing luciferase, cDNA encoding LUC2P from pGL4.35 (Promega) was cloned into pHR.CMV.FLAG.IRES-Hygro (1). cDNAs encoding CCAR1 fragments and AR fragments were cloned into pSG5....

Figure 1: Overview of the assembly process. A total of 1572 fecal samples were collected and sequenced at various timepoints during the first 3 years of 379 individuals lives. These were assembled with MEGAHIT into 68,181,571 contigs. Across all samples, a total of 62,257,853 genes, 1,000,000 of which were unique, were then annotated using Prokka. Only contigs that were over 1000 bases long wer...

The human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-436 and MDA-MB-231, the murine breast cancer cell line 4T1-luc (4T1 cells stably expressing firefly luciferase) and murine Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC) were cultivated according to supplier’s instructions (ATCC). The primary low passaged colon cancer cell lines COGA2 and COGA10 were characterized by Vecsey-Semjen et al. and cultured as previously de...
