GEANT4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles though matter, which contains a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models, and hits. In this article, an attempt to use GEANT4 Monte Carlo code to watch a double-gap Resistive Plate Chamber's (RPC) response to neutrons is presented. The simulation calculations of the double-gap RPC have been evaluated...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether an oral sucrose solution improves pain response for infants undergoing bladder catheterization in an emergency department (ED) population. METHODS A randomized, double-blinded study comparing the analgesic effects of a sucrose solution to placebo for infants < or = 90 days of age and requiring bladder catheterization. Infants with prior bladder catheterization,...

ISSN 0001-5555 Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially devastating autoimmune bullous disease that affects the mucosa and skin. It is characteristically associated with intraepidermal blistering and cell–cell dissociation due to the presence of autoantibodies targeting desmoglein (dsg) 3 and d...

Refilins (RefilinA and RefilinB) are members of a novel family of Filamin binding proteins that function as molecular switches to conformationally alter the Actin filament network into bundles. We show here that Refilins are extremely labile proteins. An N-terminal PEST/DSG(X)2-4S motif mediates ubiquitin-independent rapid degradation. A second degradation signal is localized within the C-termi...

This paper reports on research into interactive, dynamic statistical graphics (DSG) applied to spatial data maintained within a geographic information system (GIS). We developed a bidirectional link between ArcView 2.1TM, a GIS, and XGobi, a DSG program. Multivariate data, collected at geographic locations, is passed from ArcView to XGobi and can be dynamically analyzed. The relation between th...

We have recently shown that adult canine ventricular myocytes express three distinct gap junction channel proteins, connexin40 (Cx40), connexin43 (Cx43), and connexin45 (Cx45). These proteins have unique cytoplasmic domains that likely confer connexin-specific physiological properties. To determine whether the three distinct channel proteins are distributed in identical or different populations...

There is controversy about the role of auto anti-bodies against desmoglein 3 (Dsg 3) in pathogenesis lichen planus (LP). The goal this study to detect desmoglein-3 auto-antibodies patients comparted normal control persons via investigating its potential disease. A case for detection Desmoglein-3 autoantibodies serum 40 and healthy controls using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniq...

A plasmid gap repair assay was used to assess the role of three known nucleases, Exo1, Mre11 and Rad1, in the processing of DNA ends and resolution of recombination intermediates during double-strand gap repair. In this assay, alterations in end processing or branch migration are reflected by the frequency of co-conversion of a chromosomal marker 200 bp from the gap. Gap repair associated with ...
