The accurate genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV) is clinically important because the oncogenic potential of HPV is dependent on specific genotypes. Here, we described the development of a bead-based multiplex HPV genotyping (MPG) method which is able to detect 20 types of HPV (15 high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68 and 5 low-risk HPV types 6, 11, ...

PURPOSE To improve the treatment of women with ovarian cancer, we are investigating the modulation of a prominent DNA-damaging agent, temozolomide, by manipulating the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway via BER inhibitor, methoxyamine, and overexpression of N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Enhancement of temozolomide via methoxyamine and MPG overexpression was ana...

This paper presents the application of neuro-fuzzy method for prediction of vehicle fuel consumption prediction. Prediction motor vehicle fuel consumption has become a strategic issue, because it is not only related to the issue of availability of fuel but also the problem of the environmental impact caused. This study used automobile data, i.e. number of cylinders, displacement, horsepower, we...

Human fibrosarcoma cells, HT-1080, feature extensive adherens junctions, lack mature desmosomes, and express a single known desmosomal protein, Desmoglein 2 (Dsg2). Transfection of these cells with bovine Desmocollin 1a (Dsc1a) caused dramatic changes in the subcellular distribution of endogenous Dsg2. Both cadherins clustered in the areas of the adherens junctions, whereas only a minor portion...

Graphitic carbon nitride materials have attracted significant interest in recent years and found applications diverse light-to-energy conversions such as artificial photosynthesis, CO2 reduction, or degradation of organic pollutants. However, their utilization synthetic photocatalysis, especially the direct functionalization C(sp3)–H bonds, remains underexplored. Herein, we report mesoporous gr...

The physical and mechanical properties of foamed geopolymers were determined. made with two different metakaolins (from Metacaulim do Brasil - MB, Pantano Grande/RS MPG) as precursors, NaOH Na2SiO3 activators, the addition foam, which was produced foaming agent diethanolamide coconut fatty acid a minimum 80% concentration. Also, times (2.5 4 h) used for calcination MPG at 750 °C. results showed...

In this paper, two multirate transmission schemes are considered for an asynchronous multicarrier (MC) DS/CDMA system: multicode scheme and multiple processing gain (MPG) scheme. Successive interference canceller (SIC) is applied for the two multirate MC-DS/CDMA systems to cancel multiple access interference (MAI). The bit error rate (BER) of each system is obtained by analysis and simulation i...

Previous studies have shown that people understand the future ancillary cost of durable goods such as an automotive vehicle. However, consumers tend to misunderstand benefits and costs these goods. One most interesting discussions about consumer cognitive ability for energy is miles per gallon (MPG) illusion. In this study, we analyze people’s misunderstanding relationship between kilometers li...

Mixed presence groupware (MPG) allows collocated and distributed teams to work together on a shared visual workspace. Presence disparity arises in MPG because it is harder to maintain awareness of remote collaborators compared to collocated collaborators. We examine the role of one’s body in collaborative work and how it affects presence disparity, articulating four design implications for embo...

Introduction Global Climate Change (GCC) is the most pressing problem the world faces today, due to the potentially catastrophic and far-reaching nature of its effects. If the world’s governments do not successfully cut their projected carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in half by 2056, extremely damaging and irreversible effects will likely result [1, 2]. There are myriad ways to reduce these emis...
