In order to investigate some characteristics of Millipore diffusion chamber cultures (DCC) and their potential for the quantitation of tumor cell growth kinetics, HeLa S-3-cells were grown in diffusion chambers implanted i.p. in mice. HeLa cells grew pseudologarithmically in DCC with a population-doubling time of approximately 2.8 days when 9.2 to 12.0 X 10(5) cells were placed in the chambers ...

The Basel III Accord requires that banks and other Authorized Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) communicate their daily risk forecasts to the appropriate monetary authorities at the beginning of each trading day, using one of a range of alternative risk models to forecast Value-at-Risk (VaR). The risk estimates from these models are used to determine the daily capital charges (DCC) and associa...

By introducing a quark source in the nonlinear σ model, we obtain an analytic boost-invariant solution as a candidate for the disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in 3+1 dimensions. In order to trigger formation of the DCC, a strong transfer of axial isospin charge must occur between the expanding source and the interior in the baked Alaska scenario. An explicit chiral symmetry breaking is incor...

In Caenorhabditis elegans, the dosage compensation complex (DCC) specifically binds to and represses transcription from both X chromosomes in hermaphrodites. The DCC is composed of an X-specific condensin complex that interacts with several proteins. During embryogenesis, DCC starts localizing to the X chromosomes around the 40-cell stage, and is followed by X-enrichment of H4K20me1 between 100...

OBJECTIVE The concept of the chondrocyte as a stationary cell surrounded by an apparently impenetrable matrix has been challenged by in vitro observations in recent years. Chondrocyte migration may have a role in remodelling of the cartilage and pathological conditions. Candidate molecules are repellent factors for the regulation of chondrocyte migration, which are expressed in fetal and adult ...

We discuss the effect of chiral anomaly as a possible mechanism for triggering formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The anomalous π → 2γ coupling and the strong, Lorentz ∗[email protected] †[email protected] ‡[email protected] 1 contracted electromagnetic fields of the heavy ions combine to produce the “anoma...

A report from the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) / Regional eScience Collaborative Workshop, held at the eScience Institute in Edinburgh on June 12, 2008. The DCC is committed to forging and strengthening links between the digital preservation and eScience communities via its eScience Liaison team. This event was the fifth in a series of workshops which are being arranged throughout the UK, with...

In this paper, a modification of a parallel active power filter (APF) control is presented. Its purpose is to decrease the cost of the hardware by minimizing the number of current sensors, normally present in conventional topologies. The approach employs the direct current control (DCC), a method for predictive control of currents in polyphase systems, developed by the authors. Since in traditi...

The IEEE 802.11p is the technology dedicated to vehicular communications to support road safety, efficiency, and comfort applications. A large number of research activities have been carried out to study the characteristics of the IEEE 802.11p. The key weakness ...

Myosin X (Myo X), also known as MYO10, is an unconventional actin-based motor protein that plays an important role in filopodium formation. Its intra-filopodia movement, an event tightly associated with the function of Myo X, has been extensively studied. However, how the motor activity of Myo X and the direction of its movements are regulated remains largely unknown. In our previous study, we ...
