The Dps family of proteins are a diverse group of bacterial stress-inducible polypeptides that bind DNA and likely confer resistance to peroxide damage during periods of oxidative stress and long term nutrient limitation. Some members of the Dps protein family have been shown to form large (approximately 150-kDa), hexameric complexes that bind chromosomal DNA with little sequence specificity. I...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate in SSc, the frequency of digital lesions and the morphology, characteristics, natural course and time to healing of 1614 digital ulcers (DUs). METHODS One hundred SSc patients were followed up for 4 years. In the first step, the digital lesions were observed and classified at the time of presentation [digital pitting scar (DPS); DU; calcinosis; gangrene]. In the second s...

Activity-dependent plasticity of GABAergic synaptic transmission was investigated in rat hippocampal slices obtained between postnatal day (P) 0-15 using the whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique. Spontaneous GABA(A) receptor-mediated postsynaptic currents (sGABA(A)-PSCs) were isolated in the presence of ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. A conditioning protocol relevant to the phy...

Digital Pathology Systems (DPS) are dynamic, image-based computer systems that enable the acquisition, management, and interpretation of pathology information generated from digitized glass slides. This article provides a roadmap for (1) qualification of a whole slide scanner (WSS) during a validation project, (2) validation of software required to generate the whole slide image (WSI), and (3) ...

Key generation efficiency, and security, in DPS-QKD improve with an increase the number of path delays or time-bin superpositions. We demonstrate implementation super-position states using time-bins, establish equivalence path-based superposition, thus yielding a simpler higher-order superposition for differential phase-shift quantum key distribution (DPS-QKD). set up DPS-QKD, over 105 km singl...

Dendronized poly(amido amine)s (DPs) bearing tri-phosphate or bis-phosphonate peripheral groups are synthesized. These worm-like DPs can template the formation of BMSCs adhesive hydroxylapatite (HA) on the nano-scale, or self-assemble into mineral-collecting microfibers on the micro-scale, exhibiting similar functions of non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) in the natural biomineralization process o...

This study aims to examine the effect of board characteristics on performance Islamic banks (IBs) in Indonesia and Malaysia 2016-2020. The sample this includes 11 commercial 7 Malaysia. analysis method uses panel data regression which is processed with help software Eviews 12. Performance measured by Return On Assets (ROA), Equity (ROE), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Board are size directors,...

Dps (DNA protection during starvation) proteins, mini-ferritins in the ferritin superfamily, catalyze Fe(2+)/H(2)O(2)/O(2) reactions and make minerals inside protein nanocages to minimize radical oxygen-chemistry (metal/osmotic/temperature/nutrient/oxidant) and sometimes to confer virulence. Paired Dps proteins in Bacillus, rare in other bacteria, have 60% sequence identity. To explore function...

Electron tomography can provide three dimensional (3D) visualization of nanoscale objects in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) from a tilt series of projected images. The accuracy of the 3D reconstruction depends on quality of input parameters, including accurate alignment in real space and accuracy of tilt and azimuth angle measurements. Here we present an electron diffraction-based in-...
