We reduce the problem of computing a rectilinear shortest path between two given points s and t in the splinegonal domain S to the problem of computing a rectilinear shortest path between two points in the polygonal domain. As part of this, we define a polygonal domain P from S and transform a rectilinear shortest path computed in P to a path between s and t amid splinegon obstacles in S. When ...

Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and AIF-homologous mitochondrion-associated inducer of death (AMID) are both mitochondrial flavoproteins that trigger caspase-independent apoptosis. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that these two proteins evolutionarily diverge back from their common prokaryote ancestor. Compared with AIF, the proapoptotic nature of AMID and its mode of action are much less clarif...

The genome from Neurospora crassa presented three open reading frames homologous to the genes coding for human AIF and AMID proteins, which are flavoproteins with oxidoreductase activities implicated in caspase-independent apoptosis. To investigate the role of these proteins, namely within the mitochondrial respiratory chain, we studied their cellular localization and characterized the respecti...

We realized with interest that our findings were similar to those described by Zielinski and coworkers in a publication which was unknown to ms. Subjects included in the study b’ Zielinksi amid coworkers seemed to have more fnmnctional impairment in terms of reduction in vital capacity and more pronounced bronchial hyperresponsiveness (PC,, varying from 0.35 to 2.0 mg/mI, compared to PC5 varyin...

Knowledge transfer amid organizational units provides chances for shared learning and contributes to making innovation of organizational unit’s ability. Cooperative network offers a platform for knowledge transfer among organizational units. So to understand the process of knowledge transfer of several inter-organizations accurately and improve the effectiveness of knowledge transfer in the coo...
