The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) interactome of developing castor oil seed (COS; Ricinus communis) endosperm was assessed using coimmunopurification (co-IP) followed by proteomic analysis. Earlier studies suggested that immunologically unrelated 107-kD plant-type PEPCs (p107/PTPC) and 118-kD bacterial-type PEPCs (p118/BTPC) are subunits of an unusual 910-kD hetero-octameric class 2 PE...

Label Smoothing Regularization (LSR) is a widely used tool to generalize classification models by replacing the one-hot ground truth with smoothed labels. Recent research on LSR has increasingly focused correlation between and Knowledge Distillation (KD), which transfers knowledge from teacher model lightweight student penalizing their output’s Kullback–Leibler-divergence. Based this observatio...

The High Performance Computing (HPC) field is witnessing a widespread adoption of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) as co-processors for conventional homogeneous clusters. The adoption of prevalent SingleProgram Multiple-Data (SPMD) programming paradigm for GPU-based parallel processing brings in the challenge of resource underutilization, with the asymmetrical processor/co-processor distributio...

Analytical equations were derived for the extraction of univalent metal salts (MA) by crown ethers (L) into polar diluents. Then, NaMnO4 was extracted at 25 C by benzo-15-crown-5 and -18-crown-6 ethers (B15C5 and B18C6) from a water (w)-phase into a 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE)-one. So, the extraction constants of Kex1 and Kex2 were determined, where Kex1 = [NaLMnO4]DCE/[Na][L]DCE[MnO4] and Kex2 =...

According to the concept of keratin pairing defined by tissue coexpression, a 55-kD/64-kD keratin pair is a marker of "corneal-type" differentiation. Intermediate filament (IF)-enriched preparations from guinea pig and bovine corneal epithelium were analyzed, and a rabbit antiserum was generated against a 55-kD polypeptide enriched in these preparations. This antiserum generated a typical IF-li...

Co-authorship networks, an important type of social networks, have been studied extensively from various angles such as degree distribution analysis, social community extraction and social entity ranking. Most of the previous studies consider the co-authorship relation between two authors as a collaboration. In this paper, we introduce a novel and interesting “supportiveness” measure on co-auth...

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis primarily affecting infants and children with unclear etiology. Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) a common manifestation in severe KD patents, which may lead to thrombotic cardiovascular events such as heart attack stroke even years after onset. Although platelet activation patients, but the underlying cause of thrombosis remains un...

The distribution of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) was determined in rat liver by immunocytochemistry. A polyclonal antibody was raised against HSPGs purified from rat liver microsomes which specifically immunoprecipitated liver membrane HSPGs. It was shown to recognize both the heparin-releasable and membrane-intercalated form of membrane HSPGs and to recognize determinants...

Querying forms a central part of dealing with data. Hence, it becomes imperative to have efficient data structures and query-search algorithms for data retrieval. Among the different types of data structures, in this paper, we have focused on 4 tree data structures. These are B, Kd, Range and Quad trees. We have made a comparative study of their build processes. Traditionally, the median of dat...

background: improvement of endothelial dysfunction could prevent or delay the occurrence of the atherosclerosis process in patients with kawasaki disease (kd). it is suggested that vitamin c could improve endothelial dysfunction. in this study, we investigated whether administration of vitamin c as a water-soluble antioxidant could be effective in this regard among patients with kd. materials a...
