In this paper, existence and uniqueness of solutions to two-point boundary value problem associated with the non-linear kronecker product Lyapunov system on time scales are derived. These generalize the results obtained for two-point boundary value problems involving kronecker products. Bartles-Stewart algorithm and a modified QR-algorithm are presented for solving the system of equations invol...

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 (PRPS1) is closely associated with a number of diseases; however, its influence in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and the potential molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the expression of PRPS1 in Chinese children with B-ALL and to investigate the mechanism of action of PRPS1 in this disease. A Ce...

The relationship between chromosome deletion in wheat and protein expression were investigated using Chinese Spring and fine deletion line 3BS-8. Through 2-DE (2-D electrophoresis) analysis, no differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in leaf samples; however, 47 DEPs showed at least two-fold abundance variation (p < 0.05) in matured wheat grains and 21 spots were identified by tande...

In vivo effects of graded dietary levels of arginine on the body and lymphoid organs were investigated using Cornell K strain chickens of the B15/B15 haplotype. Two-week-old birds were fed an arginine-deficient basal diet (0.53% arginine) supplemented with additional arginine (up to 1.0% L-arginine to the diet). At four weeks of age, body weight, lymphoid organ weight, and concentrations of ami...

An increase in mRNA encoding the secretory form of the mu heavy (H) chain (mus) and in the ratio of mus mRNA to the mRNA encoding the membrane form of the microH chain (micron) occurs in normal B cells stimulated with anti-IgM and BSF-p1 together with the two B cell differentiation factors B15-TRF and EL-TRF. Stimulation of cells with anti-IgM and BSF-p1 with either B15- or EL-TRF causes no cha...

Until recently, most clonal cannabis ( Cannabis sativa ) has been propagated using fluorescent lights. Transitioning to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may be a viable alternative lighting, enabling cultivators provide specific spectrum treatments enhance rooting while also saving energy. Vegetative stem cuttings of ‘Gelato-27’, ‘Grace’, and ‘Meridian’ were rooted for 15 days under various combina...

Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in regulating the levels and functions of a large number of proteins in the cell, which are important for cancer cell growth and survival. The proteasome is highly activated in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), which is the most common malignancy in children. The attempt to inhibit proteasome as a ther...
