Human RNASET2 has been implicated in antitumorigenic and antiangiogenic activities, independent of its ribonuclease capacities. We constructed a truncated version of human RNASET2, starting at E50 (trT2-50) and devoid of ribonuclease activity. trT2-50 maintained its ability to bind actin and to inhibit angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. trT2-50 binds to cell surface actin and formed a complex with...

Greenhouse and field experiments with American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) stratified seed sown at depths of 10 to 100 mm were carried out to determine effects of seeding depth on seedling emergence, growth and development and to calculate optimum seeding depth. The time to 50% seedling emergence (E50) in the field increased linearly from 17 d at 20 mm seeding depth to 42.5 d at 80 mm. See...

January 2007 | Volume 4 | Issue 1 | e50 On September 1, 2006, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that a deadly new strain of extensively drugresistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) had been detected in Tugela Ferry (Figure 1), a rural town in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) [1], the epicentre of South Africa’s HIV/ AIDS epidemic. Of the 544 patients studied in the area in 2...

We revisit two-dimensional particle-hole symmetric sublattice localization problem, focusing on the origin of the observed singularities in the density of states r(E) at the band center E50. The most general system of this kind @R. Gade, Nucl. Phys. B 398, 499 ~1993!# exhibits critical behavior and has r(E) that diverges stronger than any integrable power law, while the special random vector po...

We adopt mechanism design to study the long-run consequences of inflation on aggregate output, trade, and welfare. Our theory captures multiple channels for individuals to respond to the inflation tax: search intensity (the intensive margin), market participation (the extensive margin), and substitution between money and a higher return asset. To determine the terms of trade in pairwise meeting...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between strength and strain in manufacturing controlled low strength materials to recycle incineration bottom ash. Laboratory tests for controlled low strength materials with bottom ash and recycled in-situ soil have been carried out. The optimum mixing ratios were 25%-45% of in-situ soil, 30% of bottom ash, 10%-20% of fly ash, 0%-3%...

Floating tablets of Marichyadi Vati were developed with an aim to prolong its gastric residence time and increase the bioavailability of drug. Rapid gastrointestinal transit could result in incomplete drug release from the drug delivery system above the absorption zone leading to diminished efficacy of the administered dose. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique, using HPMC E50...

This paper adopts mechanism design to investigate the coexistence of …at money and higherreturn assets. We consider an economy with pairwise meetings where …at money and riskfree capital compete as means of payment, as in Lagos and Rocheteau (2008). The trading mechanism in pairwise meetings is chosen among all individually rational, renegotiation-proof mechanisms to maximize society’s welfare....

This paper estimates and simulates a sticky-price dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium model with a financial accelerator, à la Bernanke et al. [Bernanke, B., Gertler, M., Gilchrist, S., 1999. The financial accelerator in a quantitative business cycle framework. In: Handbook of Macroeconomics. North-Holland, Amsterdam], to assess the importance of the financial accelerator mechanism in fittin...
