The caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) core proteins are essential for plant growth and development, especially for chloroplast function. Antisense or overexpression of ClpP4, which is one of the Clp core subunits, causes chlorotic phenotypes in Arabidopsis. An E3 ligase gene, AtCHIP, has previously been found to ubiquitylate ClpP4 in vitro. ClpP4 antisense and overexpressing plants that also overexp...

Cell loss probability (clp) is one of the most important measures of quality of service in an ATM network. In this paper we present two routing algorithms for ATM networks that meet the clp requirements of bursty ON-OFF sources that request connection while ensuring that the clp requirements of the existing calls are not compromised. The rst algorithm checks the entire set of feasible routes wh...

The antioxidant effect of curry leaf powder (CLP) was determined by assessing the formation of lipid peroxides, free fatty acids (FFA) and thiobarbituric acid substances (TBARS) in raw ground and cooked goat meat patties during refrigerated storage. pH, water holding capacity and cooking loss per cent were not affected by curry leaf powder when added in raw ground goat meat. Fresh goat meat wit...

OBJECTIVE To compare craniofacial differences between twins discordant for surgically repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) during the developmental ages and to test the effect of zygosity on the shape and size of the craniofacial skeleton of the same twins by means of thin plate spline (TPS) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lateral and posteroanterior (PA) cephalometric films from 19...

The aim of the present study was to identify the potential target biomarkers associated with burn sepsis using microarray. GSE1781 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus and included a collective of three biological replicates for each of the three conditions: Sham‑Sham, Sham‑cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and Burn‑CLP. Subsequently, limma was applied to screen the differentially expres...

This paper addresses two questions about voice disorders in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP): 1. What is the actual prevalence of voice disorders in CLP and is this prevalence higher than in the non-cleft population? 2. Is there an interaction between hypernasality and phonatory dysfunction which can be assessed in terms of signal perturbation quotients? In the first study, 154 CLP pati...

The cecal ligation perforation (CLP) model of sepsis is known to induce severe diaphragm dysfunction, but the cellular mechanisms by which this occurs remain unknown. We hypothesized that CLP induces diaphragm caspase-3 and calpain activation, and that these two enzymes act at the level of the contractile proteins to reduce muscle force generation. Rats (n = 4/group) were subjected to 1) sham s...

Our previous studies showed that beta(2)-microglobulin knockout mice treated with anti-asialoGM1 (beta2MKO/alphaAsGM1 mice) are resistant to injury caused by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). However, CLP-induced injury is complex. Potential mechanisms of injury include systemic infection, cecal ischemia, and translocation of bacterial toxins such as endotoxin and superantigens. Currently, it ...

Extended Abstract Constraint logic programming (CLP) is a generalization of the pure logic programming paradigm, having similar model-theoretic, xpoint and operational semantics 9]. Since the basic operational step in program execution is a test for solvability of constraints in a given algebraic structure, CLP has in addition an algebraic semantics. CLP is then a general paradigm which may be ...

Abstract: A new type of reasoning engine for model-based expert system applications is described which employs recent advances in constraint logic programming (CLP), intelligent backtracking (IB) and schema (object-oriented) knowledge representations. Constraint reasoning and logic programming (LP) have been recently joined in the new field of CLP. There is keen research interest and new CLP la...
