WATER HYACINTH: CLEARING THEM FROM KELAPA DUA LAKE AND UTILIZING THEM FOR HANDICRAFTS

Wear them, forget them.

Off-label prescriptions: how to identify them, frame them, announce them and monitor them in practice?

Following the Mediator crisis and the passage of the Health and Safety Law of December 2011, off-label prescriptions are a real concern shared by all those involved in healthcare system. Off-label, in the strictest sense of the term, is defined as all prescriptions that do not correspond to the summary of product characteristics (SPC), particularly those that fail to comply with the indications...

Build them up and break them down

Tight junctions (TJs) of cells expressing simple epithelial polarity have been extensively studied, but less is known about TJs of cells expressing complex polarity. In this paper we analyzed, TJs of four different lines, that form bile canaliculi (BC) and express typical hepatocyte polarity; WIF-B9, 11-3, Can 3-1, Can 10. Striking differences were observed in claudin expression. None of the ce...

Propagation Models and Fitting Them for the Boolean Random Sets

In order to study the relationship between random Boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a Propagation model. This model can be applied when corresponding Poisson process of the Boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. An approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...

Make them, break them, and catch them: studying rare ubiquitin chains.

Two studies in this issue, Kristariyanto et al. (2015) and Michel et al. (2015), describe innovative ways to produce large quantities of atypical K29 and K33 ubiquitin chains and report structures and mechanisms of chain-specific recognition.
