The transcription factor recombination signal sequence-binding protein Jkappa (RBP-J) is a key downstream element in the signaling pathway of all four mammalian Notch receptors that are critically involved in the control of embryonic and adult development. RBP-J-deficient mice display complex defects and die around day 9.5 postcoitum. Here, we investigate the function of RBP-J in the developmen...

Retinol-binding proteins (RBP) are a family of proteins with diverse functions. They are carrier proteins that bind retinol. An in silico study has been performed for 3D structure prediction and molecular phylogenetic analysis of RBP from two freshwater fishes, Danio rerio and Cyprinus carpio. The analyses were performed using sequence data of rbp gene and retinol binding protein, extracted fro...

Riboflavin-binding protein (RBP) is well known as a riboflavin carrier protein in chicken egg and serum. A novel function of RBP was found as a sweet-suppressing protein. RBP, purified from hen egg white, suppressed the sweetness of protein sweeteners such as thaumatin, monellin, and lysozyme, whereas it did not suppress the sweetness of low molecular weight sweeteners such as sucrose, glycine,...

In this paper, recycled bricks and concrete were applied to prepare eco-friendly mixed powder (RMP) cementitious material, as a supplementary replace conventional cement for improve the recycling of construction demolition waste. Based on effect materials hydration silicate cement, effects RMP workability, mechanical properties microstructure (RMPC) with different replacement ratios 8:4 6:4 mix...

Recycled brick powder (RBP) is a kind of solid waste material with pozzolanic activity, which can partially replace cement as cementitious to prepare concrete. In this paper, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) was prepared by RBP. The effects different RBP contents mineral admixture on the mechanical properties and microstructure UHPC were studied experiments. results show that has certain ...

In this radioimmunoassay for human retinol-binding protein (RBP), sample (serum, diluted as much as 3600-fold; or urine, diluted or undiluted) or calibrant (purified RBP in phosphate buffer containing bovine serum albumin) is incubated with 125I-labeled RBP and rabbit anti-human RBP antiserum for 24 h before separation with second antibody/polyethylene glycol. The assay's sensitivity is 5 micro...

In this paper, we revisit the recurrent backpropagation (RBP) algorithm (Almeida, 1987; Pineda, 1987), discuss the conditions under which it applies as well as how to satisfy them in deep neural networks. We show that RBP can be unstable and propose two variants based on conjugate gradient on the normal equations (CG-RBP) and Neumann series (Neumann-RBP). We further investigate the relationship...

Objective: one of the best tests for the assessment of a fetus is the biophysical profile test which has a significant effect on fetus health and the outcome of pregnancy. The present study was designed to determine the relationship between the full biophysical profile and the rapid biophysical profile tests in antepartum fetal surveillance. Patients and Methods: In this prospective study, Sin...

Retinol-binding protein (RBP), the principal carrier for vitamin A, is known to form a complex with transthyretin (TTR) for transport in plasma. Individuals from a kindred with the amino acid substitution of serine for isoleucine at position 84 (Ser84) of the TTR molecule show substantial reduction in plasma concentrations of RBP. In the present study, we measured plasma RBP in individuals from...
