We give a simple proof of the Cafiero theorem based on a matrix method approach in the form of Lemma 2.4 in the σ-additive context. Based on a version of Drewnowski lemma for an SCP-ring we obtain an extension of Cafiero theorem for exhaustive finitely additive set functions defined on an SCP-ring. As consequences, the well-known Nikodým and Brooks-Jewett convergence theorems are obtained. AMS ...

The effects of stresscopin (SCP) on rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons were examined using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and single-cell reverse-transcription multiplex polymerase chain reaction (SC-RT-mPCR) techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, bath application of SCP (100 nM) induced inhibition in 35.2% (37/105) of putative magnocellular neurons and 24.7% (20/81) of putative ...

Although the 20-amino acid presequence present in 15-kDa pro-sterol carrier protein-2 (pro-SCP-2, the precursor of the mature 13-kDa SCP-2) alters the function of SCP-2 in lipid metabolism, the molecular basis for this effect is unresolved. The presequence dramatically altered SCP-2 structure as determined by circular dichroism, mass spectroscopy, and antibody accessibility such that pro-SCP-2 ...

The recent string of adverse global shocks (financial crisis, trade war, COVID-19, Ukraine war) poses a potential challenge to the well-known welfare enhancing effects globalization, necessitating better understanding longer run globalization-crisis linkage as opposed its shorter effects. Focusing on Great Recession, we discover an evolving role and financial openness from one that propagates d...

INTRODUCTION Muscle weakness determines functional impairment in spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Measurement of specific force (SF) allows for strength comparison with unimpaired populations (controls) accounting for neural (activation and coactivation), architectural (fascicle length and pennation angle), and structural differences (moment arm length). METHODS Medial gastrocnemius (MG) SF (and...

Ecologists working with stable isotopes have to deal complex datasets including temporal and spatial replication, which makes the analysis representation of patterns change challenging, especially at high resolution. Due lack a commonly accepted conceptual framework in isotope ecology, graphical dynamics value organism or community scale remained past often descriptive qualitative, impeding qua...

With just one eighth the size of the major capsid protein (MCP), the smallest capsid protein (SCP) of human tumor herpesviruses--Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)--is vital to capsid assembly, yet its mechanism of action is unknown. Here, by cryoEM of KSHV at 6-Å resolution, we show that SCP forms a crown on each hexon and uses a kinked helix to cross-l...

The emerging economies are the centrepieces in sustainable consumption and production of palm oil (SCP). With collaborative efforts European Union some non-governmental organisations, producers kept spotlight, scrutiny has begun to sweep down supply chain. Palm environmental liabilities extended consuming countries criticism is evident context weak institutions inadequate attention from interes...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence implementation of Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) in the intervention arm of the ROGY Care trial by (1) assessing the level of SCP receipt in the ROGY Care trial and (2) identifying patient- and provider-level factors that influence SCP receipt. METHODS Between 2011 and 2015, a pragmatic cluster randomized-controlled-tr...

HDL-mediated reverse-cholesterol transport as well as phosphoinositide signaling are mediated through plasma membrane microdomains termed caveolae/lipid rafts. However, relatively little is known regarding mechanism(s) whereby these lipids traffic to or are targeted to caveolae/lipid rafts. Since sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) binds both cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol, the possibility t...
