Approximately 30% of patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) display chemoresistance to cisplatin-based regimens, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), a functional homologue of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, contributes substantially to the oncogenic potential...

The genome of the cellulase-producing fungus Talaromyces cellulolyticus (formerly Acremonium cellulolyticus) was screened for a potent DNA ligase IV gene (ligD homologue). Homologous recombination efficiency in T. cellulolyticus is very low. Therefore, suppression of a non-homologous end-joining system was attempted to enable specific gene knockouts for molecular breeding. The transcript levels...

The dispersal ranges of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) were estimated with mark-recapture collected during 1998-2000 in commercial cauliflower and broccoli crops in the northern Adelaide plains. Moths were marked with fluorescent powder and released at one or more points within the experimental fields. Recaptures of the marked moths were made with pheromone traps and yellow sticky b...

In this study, the effect of cold temperature on the physical activity profiles of professional soccer players in official match-play was investigated. Computerised motion-analysis was used to analyse performance in 9 players (4 defenders and 5 midfielders) in 4 temperature ranges: ≤ 5°C (29 matches), 6-10°C (62 matches), 11-20°C (48 matches) and ≥ 21°C (27 matches). Performance was analysed pe...

In the title compound, C(21)H(21)N(3)O(5)·CH(4)O, the quinoline plane and the benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 3.6 (2)°. The methanol solvent mol-ecule is linked with the acetohydrazide mol-ecule via O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing, which also exhibits π-π inter-actions, as indicated...

This poster discusses the multichannel publication of multimedia presentations using MPEG-21 DIDL and extensions. Different descriptions belonging to one MPEG-21 content item are combined and processed into a publication targeted at a specific channel and platform.

In the title compound, C(21)H(21)BrO(2)S, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The 4-bromo-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 81.62 (6)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions. The crystal structure also exhibits a slipped π-π inter-action between the furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centr...

Repair of damaged tissue requires the coordinated action of inflammatory and tissue-specific cells to restore homeostasis, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. In this paper, we report new roles for MKP-1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK] phosphatase-1) in controlling macrophage phenotypic transitions necessary for appropriate muscle stem cell-dependent tissue ...

manipulating of planting pattern is a method to increase the crop yield per unit of area which should be considered in different regions. in order to evaluate the effects of between and within row distances on growth indices of gahar mung bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research center of ilam in 2004. the experiment was a split-plot arranged in an rcb design.three between...
