The life cycle of calicivirus is not fully understood because most of the viruses cannot be propagated in tissue culture cells. We studied the mechanism of calicivirus entry into cells using feline calicivirus (FCV), a cultivable calicivirus. From the cDNA library of Crandell-Rees feline kidney (CRFK) cells, feline junctional adhesion molecule 1 (JAM-1), an immunoglobulin-like protein present i...

Junctional adhesion molecule-1 (JAM-1) forms part of the tight junction between adjacent endothelial cells. Using microarray technology, we showed previously that JAM-1 was differentially expressed in the brain stem of spontaneously hypertensive rats compared with normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. In this study, we quantified the expression of JAM-1 in the brain stem of spontaneously hypert...

in this research, the effect of water stress on the soluble sugars, starch and proteins content of two different cultivars (kaka and jam) of chickpea (cicer arietinum) was studied. the results showed that the soluble sugars increased while starch decreased during the stress in shoot and root of both cultivars. increasing of soluble sugars and decreasing of starch hall a positive correlation wit...

We have investigated the contribution of the tight junction (TJ) transmembrane protein junction-adhesion-molecule 1 (JAM-1) to trophectoderm epithelial differentiation in the mouse embryo. JAM-1-encoding mRNA is expressed early from the embryonic genome and is detectable as protein from the eight-cell stage. Immunofluorescence confocal analysis of staged embryos and synchronized cell clusters r...

Empirical and numerical microscopic features of moving traffic jams are presented. Based on a single vehicle data analysis, it is found that within wide moving jams, i.e., between the upstream and downstream jam fronts there is a complex microscopic spatiotemporal structure. This jam structure consists of alternations of regions in which traffic flow is interrupted and flow states of low speeds...

Judgments of associative memory (JAM) were indexed by ratings given to pairs of cue and response words. The normed probabilities, p(response|cue), were obtained from free association norms. The ratings were linearly related to the probabilities. The JAM functions were characterized by high intercepts ( 50 on a 100 point scale) and shallow slopes (<0.5). The JAM function generalized across mater...

The 11q terminal deletion disorder (11q-) is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by a deletion in distal 11q. Fifty-six percent of patients have clinically significant congenital heart defects. A cardiac "critical region" has been identified in distal 11q that contains over 40 annotated genes. In this study, we identify the distal breakpoint of a patient with a paracentric inversion in distal 11...

Now a day&apos;s traffic jam is a very common problem in all the cities. Every day people spend valuable times uselessly because of traffic jam. We have proposed a system that came up with a solution which can reduce traffic jam dramatically. This is a web based application. People will just check the status of the route they are heading for whether the route consisting medium, heavy or less tr...
