Puroindoline (Pina and Pinb) genes control grain texture or hardness in wheat. Wild-type/soft alleles lead to softer grain while a mutation in one or both of these genes results in a hard grain. Variation in hardness in genotypes with identical Pin alleles (wild-type or mutant) is known but the molecular basis of this is not known. We now report the identification of wheat genotypes with hard g...

Pin-1 has been shown to regulate several phases of the cell cycle and is strikingly overexpressed in many human cancers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C is a potent lymphangiogenic factor produced by tumor and stromal cells. However, little is known about the roles of Pin-1 and VEGF-C in breast carcinoma. p53 protein and cyclin D1 overexpressions have been shown to play a role as pr...

Since the 80’s, industrial core calculations employ two-step scheme based on prior cross sections preparation with few energy groups and in homogenized reference geometries. Spatial homogenization fuel assembly quarters is most frequent calculation option nowadays, relying efficient nodal solvers using a coarse mesh. Pin-wise reaction rates are then reconstructed by dehomogenization techniques....

In this letter, we present a systematic approach to design compact dual-mode monopole-like patch antenna using characteristic mode analysis (CMA). The modal of slotted circular structure incorporating new shorting pin loading technique is presented. To achieve with the wideband operation, it demonstrated that first two significant modes patterns are most suitable ones for excitation. Based on c...

in this study, behavior of pin-loaded glass fiber reinforced with polyethylene laminated composites with different stacking sequence and different dimensions has been observed experimentally and stress analysis was performed using ansys software. the aim is to investigate stresses, failure strength and failure mode of composite laminates containing a pin loaded hole when the material exhibits l...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings associated with posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome. METHODS Approval from the Institutional Review Board was obtained. A retrospective review of 908 patients' sonographic images of the upper extremity from January 2001 to October 2010 revealed 10 patients suspicious for a PIN abnormality (7 male and 3 fem...
