Hazardous ground deformation and landslides occur frequently in the Mila Basin, Algeria this problem remains unsolved. However, The historical seismicity area indicates no severe damage from past earthquakes. For reason, studies are needed to monitor slow movements their triggering factors. Since about two decades ago, satellite observations by interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) t...

ABSTRACT High-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations are currently limited to relatively small volumes due their computational expense. However, much larger required probe rare, overdense environments, and measure clustering statistics of the large-scale structure. Typically, zoom individual regions used study rare semi-analytic models halo occupation applied dark-matter-only (DMO) Un...

INTRODUCTION Factor (F) XI supports both normal human hemostasis and pathological thrombosis. Activated FXI (FXIa) promotes thrombin generation by enzymatic activation of FXI, FIX, FX, and FV, and inactivation of alpha tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPIα), in vitro. Some of these reactions are now known to be enhanced by short-chain polyphosphates (SCP) derived from activated platelets. Thes...

Cerebellar manipulations have been used successfully in some intractable epileptic patients, however, their intrinsic mechanisms are not fully understood. To further clarify the cerebellar participation in epilepsy, we stimulated 10 rats with 100 Hz, 20 microA at the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP) during amygdaloid kindling. Results were compared to 10 rats with an electrode placed at the S...

The dwarf or compact plant architecture is an important trait in plant breeding. A number of genes controlling plant height have been cloned and functionally characterized which often involve in biosynthesis or signaling of plant hormones such as brassinosteroids (BRs). No genes for plant height or vine length have been cloned in cucurbit crops (family Cucurbitaceae). From an EMS-induced mutage...

Volume excess and mechanical load lead to the induction of the endocrine activity of the heart. The increased production and secretion of A- and B-type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP), in turn, unload the heart due to their physiological effects. To find out the mechanisms of cardiac-specific expression and sensitivity to mechanical stimuli of the natriuretic peptide genes, we have used salm...

While a high-cholesterol diet induces hepatic steatosis, the role of intracellular sterol carrier protein-2/sterol carrier protein-x (SCP-2/SCP-x) proteins is unknown. We hypothesized that ablating SCP-2/SCP-x [double knockout (DKO)] would impact hepatic lipids (cholesterol and cholesteryl ester), especially in high-cholesterol-fed mice. DKO did not alter food consumption, and body weight (BW) ...

ing cerebral embolization due to detached atherosclerotic material from the ascending and arch aortic intima, caused by the “sandblasting” effect of the high-velocity jet from an aortic cannula. Although the number of cases having pedunculated atheroma, mural thrombus in ascending aorta, or aortic arch is low, I believe this method helps to treat such cases. In addition, the safety of starting ...

The set covering problem (SCP) is one of representative combinatorial optimization problems, which has many practical applications. The continuous development of mathematical programming has derived a number of impressive heuristic algorithms as well as exact branch-and-bound algorithms, which can solve huge SCP instances of bus, railway and airline crew scheduling problems. We survey heuristic...

Since 2015, the international policy community has started to agree on agreements with ambitious middle-term and long-term goals, highly relevant sustainable consumption production (SCP) such as those seen in Paris Agreement, SDGs, plastic-related at G7 G20 processes. Along this trend, there been growing attention given socio-technical system change or “transition”. Policy debate is putting mor...
