As a prelude to development of broader-spectrum vaccines for dental caries, we explored the immune potential of constructs combining epitopes from mutans streptococcal glucosyltransferases (GTF) and glucan binding protein B (GbpB). Two diepitopic peptide constructs were synthesized in a multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) format. Both constructs contained SYI, a 20-mer GbpB peptide that included a...

Time-dependent translocational changes of Synapsin I (SyI), a synaptic vesicle-associated phosphoprotein and its involvement in the axonal transport were investigated in the regenerating axonal sprouts. A weak SyI immunoreactivity (IR) was found in the axoplasm of normal axons. Rat sciatic nerves were crush-injured by ligating with 1-0 silk thread at the mid-thigh level and released from the li...

BACKGROUND Many studies suggest that long term potentiation (LTP) has a role in learning and memory. In contrast, little is known about the function of short-lived plasticity (SLP). Modeling results suggested that SLP could be responsible for temporary memory storage, as in working memory, or that it may be involved in processing information regarding the timing of events. These models predict ...

Sea ice monitoring and classification is one of the main applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing. C-band SAR imagery is regarded as an optimal choice for sea ice applications; however, other SAR frequencies has not been extensively assessed. In this study, we evaluate the potential of fully polarimetric L-band SAR imagery for monitoring and classifying sea ice during dry w...

The pot experiment was carried out to quantify the effect of different organic wastes in rice yield and to determine the effect on soil fertility. The experiment was laid down in a complete randomized design taking 11 treatments with three replicates. The applied treatments were; (1) Control, (2) Recommended doses of NPK, (3) HW 10%, (4) HW 20%, (5) HW 30%, (6) PM 10%, (7) PM 20%, (8) PM: 30%, ...

Repeated transects have become the backbone of spatially distributed ice and snow thickness measurements crucial for understanding mass balance. Here we detail at Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory Study Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) 2019–2020, which represent first such collected across an entire season. Compared with similar historical transects, MOSAiC was thin (mean depths approximately 0.1–0...

The increased fraction of first year ice (FYI) at the expense old (second-year (SYI) and multi-year (MYI)) likely affects permeability Arctic cover. This in turn influences pathways gases circulating therein exchange interfaces with atmosphere ocean. We present sea temperature salinity time series from different types relevant to temporal development brine drainage efficiency freeze-up October ...

Incidence angle normalization is used to reduce the radiometric ambiguity within or between synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. For sea ice, incidence typically constrained winter months because of difficulty capturing rapidly changing backscatter values during melt season. Here, we make use high-temporal-resolution RADASAT Constellation Mission (RCM) SAR images quantify dependencies (slopes...

Akdeniz bölgesinin Göller Yöresinde katma değeri yüksek tarım ürünleri yetiştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada; bulunan üç meteoroloji gözlem istasyonunun 3, 6 ve 12 aylık periyotları için elde edilen Standartlaştırılmış Yağış İndeks (SYİ) serilerine frekans analizi uygulanarak meteorolojik kuraklığın izlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. kapsamda, Isparta, Eğirdir Seydişehir istasyonlarında 1980-2021 hidrolojik y...
