protein aggregation and precipitation is associated with many debilitating diseases including alzheimer's, parkinson's, and light-chain amyloidosis. β-casein, a member of the casein family, has been demonstrated to exhibit chaperone-like activity to protect protein form aggregation. hofmeister salts (lyotropice series) are a class of ions which have an effect on the solubility and also the stab...

We investigate here antecedents and consequences of supplier integration (black-box and gray-box) in product development activities. Antecedents include embeddedness with suppliers, supply base rationalization, and supplier selection based on product development capabilities. Product innovation and quality are modeled as returns of supplier integration in product development. We also assess the...

BACKGROUND Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a physical condition that is now well established as a predictor of numerous adverse health outcomes, independent of physical activity levels. In order to be able to improve CRF at the population level and to develop effective interventions and public health programmes, it is important to understand why some people are more fit than others. Therefor...

compound action potential (cap) of spinal cord represents valuable properties of neural fibers including excitability, rate of myelination and membrane integrity. these properties are measured using amplitude, latency and area under curve of caps recorded from spinal cord. here, the isolated spinal cord was set in a double sucrose gap (dsg) chamber and its response to intracellular stimulation ...
