There is evidence from many studies indicating that a number of specific quiescent and contractile associated proteins are temporally regulated in the myometrium during pregnancy. In this present investigation we provide data that strongly suggest that myometrial connexin-43, cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2), and Gs alpha proteins are also spatially expressed within the human uterus durin...

R. D. Noble, a research profissor in chemical engineering at the Univ. of Colorado, specializes in the use of reversible chemical reactions in chemical gas and liquid separation processes, most notably the use of ion-exchange membranes as supports for complexing agents and the modeling and analysis of various facilitated transport systems. Refore joining the Univ, of Colorado, he served as an a...

We studied the authorship of messages produced through facilitated communication (FC) for all users of FC in two comprehensive schools in a small city in Finland. The participants were 11 children with intellectual disabilities, including autism, all having used FC from 1-3 years. The test conditions involved open and blind information-passing tasks in which the participants were directed to wr...

Molecular analysis of a complex behavioral phenotype is facilitated by dissecting it into simpler behavioral components. Using this approach, we present evidence implicating increased manganese transport by the malvolio (mvl) gene into brain cells as one factor that influences age-related division of labor in honey bee colonies. We studied mvl because manganese affects sucrose responsiveness in...

Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) is a small fish that accumulates glycerol at low winter seawater temperatures. In laboratory-held fish, glycerol concentration typically reaches 225 mM in plasma and in all cells. Glycerol uptake by the heart and red blood cells (RBCs) was assessed by tracking [(14)C(U)]glycerol into the acid-soluble pool. In fish acclimated to 9-10°C a decrease in perfusion/incub...

There is now a certain consensus that transcription factors (TFs) reach their target sites, where they regulate gene transcription, via a mechanism dubbed facilitated diffusion (FD). In FD, the TF cycles between events of 3D diffusion in solution (jumps), 1D diffusion along DNA (sliding), and small jumps (hopping), achieving association rates higher than for 3D diffusion alone. We investigate t...

In nature, the biological membrane can selectively transport essential small molecules/ions through facilitated diffusion via carrier proteins. Intrigued by this phenomenon and principle, membrane researchers have successfully employed synthetic carriers and carrier-mediated reversible reactions to enhance the separation performance of synthetic membranes. However, the existing facilitated tran...

Civil-law non-employment contracts are abused when employing Polish citizens and foreigners. Contrary to Poles, non-Polish exposed linguistic difficulties (the law does not specify a standard of translation their contracts), an application for short-term simplified immigration employment system (a declaration on entrusting work foreigner in the territory Republic Poland) contain information abo...

We study the labor supply of South Indian boat-owners using daily data on labor force participation and the value of catches from 2000 to 2007. Our panel is among the most extensive ever used for this purpose and the …rst to pertain to a non-service related occupation in a developing country. Our analysis compares two hypotheses about the response of labor supply to increases in wages and incom...

Abstract In recent years, the volume and intensity of attacks on globalization have been steadily rising. It is frequently argued that antiglobalization backlash stems from strains placed compromise embedded liberalism. We argue existing research underemphasizes how technological change digital revolution contributed to these strains. Global value chains facilitated by linked technology in adva...
