Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has been implicated to be a point of convergence of integrin and growth factor signaling pathways. Here we report that FAK directly interacts with the hepatocyte growth factor receptor c-Met. Phosphorylation of c-Met at Tyr-1349 and, to a lesser extent, Tyr-1356 is required for its interaction with the band 4.1 and ezrin/radixin/moesin homology domain (FERM domain) o...

We presented a family of finite elements that use a polynomial space augmented by certain matrix bubbles in [Math. Comp., 79 (2010), 1331–1349]. In this sequel, we exhibit a second family of elements that use the same matrix bubble. This second element uses a stress space smaller than the first, while maintaining the same space for rotations (which are the Lagrange multipliers corresponding to ...

Mid and far infrared maps of many Galactic star forming regions show multiple peaks in close proximity , implying more than one embedded energy sources. With the aim of understanding such interstellar clouds better, the present study models the case of two embedded sources. A radiative transfer scheme has been developed to deal with an uniform density dust cloud in a cylindrical geometry, which...

A description of neutrino oscillation phenomena is presented which is based on relativistic quantum mechanics and includes both entangled state and source dependent aspects, unlike both of the conventional approaches which use either equal energies or equal momenta for the different neutrino mass eigenstates. To second order in the neutrino masses, the standard result is recovered thus showing ...

Introduction: The management and use of antimicrobial drugs has clinical, economic, and environmental implications. In many countries, antimicrobial drugs are the most frequently prescribed therapeutic agents. Therefore, health-care policy should focus on how to establish a rational attitude toward antibiotics. This study was performed to investigate antibiotic usage as a prophylactic regimen ...
