the role of thematic structure in comprehending spoken language
in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...
15 صفحه اولHydrolysis of epithelial junctional proteins by Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains.
Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as an etiologic agent of adult periodontitis. We have previously shown that P. gingivalis can degrade the epithelial cell-cell junction complexes, thus suggesting that this bacterium can invade the underlying connective tissues via a paracellular pathway. However, the precise mechanism(s) involved in this process has not been elucidated. The purpose ...
متن کاملGingipains as candidate antigens for Porphyromonas gingivalis vaccine.
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a gram-negative anaerobe, is involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, and is found frequently in the subgingival flora in patients with periodontitis. This organism possesses a variety of virulence factors including lipopolysaccharide, capsular material, fimbriae and proteases (enzymes). Among the P. gingivalis antigens, enzymes such as Argi...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Role of gingipains in growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the presence of human serum albumin.
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacterium associated with active chronic periodontitis lesions, produces several proteolytic enzymes that are thought to be involved in host colonization, perturbation of the immune system, and tissue destruction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of Arg- and Lys-gingipains produced by P. gingivalis to its growth. Although all of the pr...
