Although expression of the IGF-II has been demonstrated within the central nervous system (CNS), past studies have failed to reveal its precise roles or responses subsequent to a traumatic injury. To demonstrate that IGF-II, IGFBP, and IGF receptor (-R) expression alters in response to a penetrating CNS injury, we used the techniques of ribonuclease protection assay, in situ hybridization, immu...

Susceptibility to protoxin and toxin forms of Cry1Ab and the binding of (125)I-labeled Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac has been examined in three Plodia interpunctella colonies, one susceptible (688(s)) and two resistant (198(r) and Dpl(r)) to Bacillus thuringiensis. Toxicological studies showed that the 198(r) colony was 11-fold more resistant to Cry1Ab protoxin than to Cry1Ab activated toxin, whereas the D...

In the past decade, the development of wireless communication technologies has made the use of the Internet ubiquitous. With the increasing number of new inventions and applications using wireless communication, more interference is introduced among wireless devices that results in limiting the capacity of wireless networks. Many approaches have been proposed to improve the capacity. One approa...

In this paper we prove that the principles in the language with relation composition and dynamic implication valid for all binary relations are the same ones as the principles valid when we restrict ourselves to DPL relations i e relations generated from conditions tests and resettings

To obtain insight into the role of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (Rb; also known as Rb1) in apoptosis, we analyzed Caenorhabditis elegans mutants lacking a functional lin-35 RB gene. We found that the loss of lin-35 function results in a decrease in constitutive germ cell apoptosis. We present evidence that lin-35 promotes germ cell apoptosis by repressing the expression of ced-9, an a...

This paper introduces Denotational Proof Languages (DPLs). DPLs are languages for presenting, discovering, and checking formal proofs. In particular, in this paper we discus type-α DPLs—a simple class of DPLs for which termination is guaranteed and proof checking can be performed in time linear in the size of the proof. Type-α DPLs allow for lucid proof presentation and for efficient proof chec...

In this study, onsite field experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of amending a crude oil polluted soil with palm fruit bunch ash (OPFBA), dried poultry litters (DPL), bacterial, physico-chemical properties, as well growth and tuber yield cassava (Manihot esculenta CRANTZ) grown on amended soils using standard techniques. Results autotrophic bacteria counts revealed that nitrogen...
