BACKGROUND Dexamethasone (Dex) has been used to reduce inflammation in preterm infants with assistive ventilation and to prevent chronic lung diseases. However, Dex treatment results in adverse effects on the brain. Since the hippocampus contains a high density of glucocorticoid receptors (GCRs), we hypothesized that Dex affects neurogenesis in the hippocampus through inflammatory mediators. ...

Four different strategies of pulping and bleaching were carried out to develop alternative mechanistic ecoenvironmental friendly approaches and generated effluent was characterised. Strategy-I included Phanerochaete sp. fungal pretreatment followed by conventional bleaching, whereas in strategy-II, fungal pretreatment was followed by enzyme xylanase aided bleaching. Strategy-III also included x...

The leukocyte Ig-like receptor (LILR/ILT/LIR) family comprises 13 members that are either activating or inhibitory receptors, regulating a broad range of cells in the immune responses. LILRB1 (ILT2), LILRB2 (ILT4) and LILRA1 (LIR6) can recognize MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I or class I-like molecules, and LILRB1/HLA-A2, LILRB1/UL18 and LILRB2/HLA-G complex (extracellular domain...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small regulatory RNAs that are found in almost all of the eukaryotes. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) miRNAs are processed from primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs), mainly by the ribonuclease III-like enzyme DICER-LIKE1 (DCL1) and its specific partner, HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1), a double-strand RNA-binding protein, both of which contain two doublestrand RNA-binding ...

Consider a tensor product H = H1⊗H2⊗· · ·⊗Hk of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces with dimension of Hi = di, 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Then the maximum dimension possible for a subspace of H with no non-zero product vector is known to be d1d2 . . . dk− (d1 +d2 + · · ·+dk)+k−1. We obtain an explicit example of a subspace of this kind. We determine the set of product vectors in its orthogonal complement and sho...

n(n + d) . . . (n + (k − 1)d) = by (1.1) in positive integers n, k ≥ 2, d > 1, b, y, l ≥ 3 with l prime, gcd(n, d) = 1 and P (b) ≤ k. We write d = D1D2 (1.2) where D1 is the maximal divisor of d such that all prime divisors of D1 are congruent to 1 ( mod l). Thus D1 and D2 are relatively prime positive integers such that D2 has no prime divisor which is congruent to 1 (mod l). Shorey [Sh88] pro...

and has propagating number 3. The graph representing d is not unique. The composition d1 ◦ d2 of partition diagrams d1, d2 ∈ Ak is the set partition obtained by placing d1 above d2 and identifying the bottom dots of d1 with the top dots of d2, removing any connected components that live entirely in the middle row. For k ∈ 1 2Z>0 and n ∈ C, the partition algebra CAk(n) is the associative algebra...
