The joining of the 15-carbon farnesyl group ðC15H25Þ and the 20-carbon geranylgeranyl group ðC20H33Þ to protein–cysteines at or near their carboxy-termini is catalyzed by protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) and protein geranylgeranyltransferase-I and II (GGTase-I and GGTase-II) [1]. The prenyltransferases are heterodimers consisting of aand b-subunits with combined molecular masses ranging from...

Background: Literature review shows that there are not sufficient data about polyphenolic compounds of peel of Iranian pomegranate. So, this work was mainlyundertaken to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of dried peel of Iranian pomegranate. Methods: Pomegranate fruits were obtained from mature fruits grown in Saveh, Iran and the Pomegranate Peel (PP) were dried with three ...

The geo-recommendation systems have the ability to carry out recommendations of places according to users interests. This feature is useful in commercial domains because it allows analyzing the study of potential markets locations. Nowadays, the business locations is considered a main factor to achieve the business success; so the profits can be increased if the business is more closer with res...

Clustering of task graphs has been used as an intermediate step toward scheduling parallel architectures. In this paper, we identify important characteristics of clustering algorithms and propose a general framework for analyzing and evaluating such algorithms. Using this framework, we present an analytic performance comparison of four algorithms: Dominant Sequence Clustering (DSC) (Yang and Ge...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) compared with dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials (dSSEPs) and clinical sensory testing in myelopathic spinal cord disorders (SCDs). METHODS In a prospective cohort study, light-touch (LT) and pinprick (PP) testing was complemented by dermatomal CHEPs and dSSEPs in patients with a confirmed SCD as defined b...
