A systematic literature review on the formation of human capital through quality education and lifelong learning is presented in this paper. This article explores common themes that run 26 different papers can be found databases Sage Journal Web Science. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) technique, which a comprehensive guideline both gathering data, was utilized exe...

GATA4 confers cell type-specific gene expression on genes expressed in cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, endocrine and neuronal tissues by interacting with various ubiquitous and cell-type-restricted transcriptional regulators. By using yeast two-hybrid screening approach, we have identified PIAS1 as an intestine-expressed GATA4 interacting protein. The physical interaction between GATA4 and P...

We consider An extremal problem for directed graphs which is closely related to Tutin’s theorem giving the maximum number of edges in a gr;lph on n vertices which does not contain a complete subgraph on m vertices. For an ;ntc&r n 22, let T,, denote the transitive tournament with vertex set X,, = {1,2,3, . . . , n) and edge set {(i. j): 1 s i C j s n]. A subgraph H of T,, is said to be m-locall...

We have investigated processing of monkey pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) following transfection into heterologous neuronal Neuro 2A (N2A) cells. In several separately transfected stable cell lines (termed N2A/POMC2-like; n = 4), POMC was processed to beta E only, by direct cleavage from the precursor. Thus, these cell lines did not produce beta E in the orderly manner observed in the pituitary, th...

At the present time there is evidence for two families of related peptides which act as ligands for opiate receptor sites. The endorphin group of peptides are derived from the ACTH/LPH precursor pro-opiocortin. The enkephalins appear to be formed from a separate precursor or precursors that have yet to be fully characterized. There appear to be a number of different types of opiate receptors an...

PURPOSE Yinyanghuo (Herba Epimdii) is a traditional Chinese herb containing prenylated flavonoids as its active constituents. The aim of this study was to examine the significance of the intestinal hydrolysis of prenylated flavonoids by lactase phlorizin hydrolase (LPH), an enzyme at the brush border membrane of intestinal cells. METHODS A four-site perfused rat intestinal model was used. The...

There is a mismatch between lightpath channel capacity and traffic request capacity in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical mesh networks. Traffic grooming is needed to resolve this mismatch in an efficient way. We study the dynamic traffic grooming problem in WDM mesh networks using the fixed-alternate routing (FAR) approach. Based on the FAR approach, we propose the fixed-order groom...

Identifying a good site for groundwater exploration in hard rock terrain is a challenging task. In hard rocks, groundwater occurs in secondary porosity developed due to weathering, fracturing, faulting, etc., which is highly variable and varies sharply within very short distances, contributing to near-surface inhomogeneity. In such situations topographic, hydrogeological and geomorphological fe...

The development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on polyclonal antibodies for the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins is described. We previously reported the synthesis of haptens and generation of antibodies for detection of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Antisera were screened with seven different coating antigens (hapten-protein conjugates), including trans-3-...
