PALS update 2005.

Expression of porcine acid-labile subunit (pALS) of the 150-kilodalton ternary insulin-like growth factor complex and initial characterization of recombinant pALS protein.

Acid-labile subunit (ALS) is a component of the 150-kDa insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) complex, which, by sequestering the majority of IGFs-I and -II and thereby prolonging the half-life of them in plasma, serves as a circulating reservoir of IGFs in mammalian species. A pGEX-2T plasmid and a baculovirus expression constructs harboring a coding sequence for glutathione-S...

Adaptive Multi-Source Streaming in Heterogeneous Peer-to-Peer Networks

This paper presents design and evaluation of an adaptive streaming mechanism from multiple senders to a single receiver in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, called P2P Adaptive Layered Streaming, or PALS . PALS is a receiver-driven mechanism. It enables a receiver peer to orchestrate quality adaptive streaming of a single, layer encoded video stream from multiple congestion controlled senders, and i...

Denaturant - Induced Stimulation of the 9 - Migrating Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor in Endothelial Cells and Serum

Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells and human serum contain plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAls) that are immunologically related. In the present study. the electrophoretic mobilities. molecular weights (mol wt). and activities of these PAls were compared. When fractionated by agarose zone electrophoresis. both PAls migrated with /9 mobility as compared with the mobilities of human plas...

A Population-Average, Landmark- and Surface-based (PALS) atlas of human cerebral cortex.

This report describes a new electronic atlas of human cerebral cortex that provides a substrate for a wide variety of brain-mapping analyses. The Population-Average, Landmark- and Surface-based (PALS) atlas approach involves surface-based and volume-based representations of cortical shape, each available as population averages and as individual subject data. The specific PALS-B12 atlas introduc...

Secreting the Serine Protease HGF Activator in the Germinal Center Microenvironment by Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Activation Follicular Dendritic Cells Catalyze

Pediatric advanced life support (PALS) courses in Israel: ten years of experience.

BACKGROUND The Pediatric Advanced Life Support course of the American Heart Association/American Academy of Pediatrics was established in Israel in 1994 and has since been presented to over 3,108 medical and paramedical personnel. OBJECTIVES To assess the achievements of participants in the PALS course, as a cohort and by professional group, and their evaluations of different aspects of the c...
