The description of final-state interactions (FSI) in the large phase space probed neutrino experiments poses a great challenge. In experiments, which operate under semi-inclusive conditions, cascade models are commonly used for this task, while exclusive conditions FSI can be treated with relativistic optical potentials (ROP). We formulate ROP approach and model directly compared. feed NEUT eve...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) span the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear envelope and mediate transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In recent years, however, NPCs and the proteins that form them, known as nucleoporins, have also been linked to nuclear events including chromatin organization and gene expression , and to physiological processes such as differentiation and aging. Two...

Patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) repeatedly undergo intradialytic low arterial oxygen saturation and central venous saturation, reflecting an imbalance between upper body systemic supply demand, which are associated increased mortality. Abnormalities along the entire cascade, impaired diffusive convective transport, contribute to reduced tissue supply. HD treatment impairs pulmonary gas ...

We studied the implication of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in cardiac mitochondrial biogenesis induced by mechanical stress. Prolonged stretching (2-12 h) of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) upregulated the main components of mitochondrial transcription cascade [peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator-1 (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor (NRF-1), and mitochondrial transc...

We have identified a serine/threonine kinase that is rapidly activated during Fas-mediated apoptosis. Fas-activated serine/threonine kinase (FAST) is phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues in Jurkat cells. In response to Fas ligation, it is rapidly dephosphorylated and concomitantly activated to phosphorylate TIA-1, a nuclear RNA-binding protein that has been implicated as an effector ...

From recent charge exchange measurements in the extreme forward direction, an independent and precise determination of the pion nucleon coupling constant is possible. This determination has reopened the debate on the value of this fundamental coupling constant of nuclear physics. Precise measurements of charge exchange observables at forward angles below 900 MeV/c would also give a better under...

A novel multienzyme biocatalyst, based on coimmobilization of the laccase and horseradish peroxidase by cross linking and layer-by-layer coating with polyelectrolyte, was designed, synthesized and applied at the development of an oxidative cascade process on lignin. The efficiency and specificity of the new LbL-multienzyme system, the occurrence of a synergy of the co-immobilized enzymes, the l...

Experiments with Ξ − atoms are proposed in order to study the nuclear interaction of Ξ hyperons. The production of Ξ − in the (K − , K +) reaction, the Ξ − stopping in matter, and its atomic cascade are incorporated within a realistic evaluation of the results expected for Ξ − X-ray spectra across the periodic table, using an assumed Ξ-nucleus optical potential V opt. Several optimal targets fo...

The explanation of the observed galactic magnetic fields may require the existence of a primordial magnetic field. Such a field may arise during the early cosmological phase transitions, or because of other particle physics related phenomena in the very early universe reviewed here. The turbulent evolution of the initial, randomly fluctuating microscopic field to a large-scale macroscopic field...
