It has been reported that treatment of cultured human skeletal muscle myotubes with the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta (PPARdelta) activator GW-501516 directly stimulates glucose transport and enhances insulin action. Cultured myotubes are minimally responsive to insulin stimulation of glucose transport and are not a good model for studying skeletal muscle glucose transport. T...

LetGw be a weighted graph. The number of the positive, negative and zero eigenvalues in the spectrum of Gw are called positive inertia index, negative inertia index and nullity of Gw, and denoted by i+(Gw), i−(Gw), i0(Gw), respectively. In this paper, sharp lower bound on the positive (resp. negative) inertia index of weighted bicyclic graphs of order n with pendant vertices is obtained. Moreov...

This paper gives a new definition of general weighted (GW) fairness and shows how this can achieve various fairness definitions, such as those mentioned in the ATM Forum TM 4.0 specifications. The GW fairness can be achieved by calculating the ExcessFairshare (weighted fairshare of the left over bandwidth) for each VC. We show how a switch algorithm can be modified to support the GW fairness by...

GW bodies, also known as mammalian P-bodies, are cytoplasmic foci involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Recently, GW bodies have been linked to RNA interference and demonstrated to be important for short-interfering-RNAand microRNA-mediated mRNA decay and translational repression. Evidence indicates that both passenger and guide strands of short-interfer...

one of the major issues in dam construction is water seepage, post impounding. assessment and prediction of the amount of waterleakage can be useful in preventing such events. the seymareh dam has been constructed on the seymareh river in ilam province,southwest of iran. the dam controls the floods and generates hydroelectric power. it is already under impoundment and the seepageproblem is bein...

Ghai, H. S., and L. T. Buck. Acute reduction in whole cell conductance in anoxic turtle brain. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R887–R893, 1999.—We tested the effect of anoxia, a ‘‘mimic’’ turtle artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) consisting of high Ca21 and Mg21 concentrations and low pH and adenosine perfusions, on whole cell conductance (Gw) in turtle brain ...

Greatwall (GW) is a new kinase that has an important function in the activation and the maintenance of cyclin B-Cdc2 activity. Although the mechanism by which it induces this effect is unknown, it has been suggested that GW could maintain cyclin B-Cdc2 activity by regulating its activation loop. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we show that GW depletion promotes mitotic exit, even in the presence of...

The genetic control of grain weight (GW) remains poorly understood. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining the GW of rice were identified using a natural GW mutant, sgw. Using a segregating population derived from sgw (low GW) and cultivar 9311 ('9311'; indica, high GW), the chromosome segment associated with GW was detected on the short arm of chromosome 7. To validate and further refine t...

Our aim in this work is to investigate prime submodules and prove some properties of them. We study the relations between a given module extension submodules. The two modules direct product their quotient are studied investigated.
