Plant BZR1-BAM transcription factors contain a β-amylase (BAM)-like domain, characteristic of proteins involved in starch breakdown. The enzyme-derived domains appear to be noncatalytic, but they determine the function of the two Arabidopsis thaliana BZR1-BAM isoforms (BAM7 and BAM8) during transcriptional initiation. Removal or swapping of the BAM domains demonstrates that the BAM7 BAM domain ...

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) the term that Gartner, Inc. introduced to define systems that provide real-time access to critical business performance indicators in order to improve the speed and effectiveness of business operations. Despite the emphasis of BAM on the provision of low-latency views on enterprise performance, the literature on BAM also indicates the technical feasibility of ...

Identifying factors that regulate the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation into specialized cells is key to understanding tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Long before the identification of the four factors sufficient to define stemness, a single gene named bag of marbles (bam) was shown to be necessary and sufficient to control the transition from stem cell to differen...

The anticryptococcal activity of murine bronchoalveolar macrophages (BAM) and their synergy with fluconazole (FCZ) was studied. BAM cultured with tissue culture medium for 48 to 72 h were fungicidal (24 to 39%) in a 3-h killing assay. However, net killing of Cryptococcus neoformans did not continue when culture time was extended to 24 h, although BAM were fungistatic (88 to 98%). Treatment with...

the how and why of tehran development and construction of its citadel has always been of interest to researchers. at the same time, issues such as its time of obtaining importance and prosperity on the one hand, and establishing and appellation of its citadel as the most important official complex of the qajar period on the other, are among the concerns mostly ignored by the scholars. addressin...

Construction of the urinary bladder de novo using tissue engineering technologies is the "holy grail" of reconstructive urology. The search for the ideal biomaterial for urinary bladder reconstruction has been ongoing for decades. One of the most promising biomaterials for this purpose seems to be bladder acellular matrix (BAM). In this review we determine the most important factors, which may ...

A new BAM model is presented that uses a chaotic output function operating in chaotic mode during recall. Our results show that the model develops well-defined attractor basins, with the result that our chaotic BAM is more tolerant to noise than a regular fixed point BAM. This is concluded from simulations that showed the superior performance of the new model when compared to the original BAM a...

The open source environment R isf the most widely used software to statistically explore biological data sets including sequence alignments. BAM is the de facto standard file format for sequence alignment. With rbamtools, we provide now a full spectrum of accessibility to BAM for R users such as reading, writing, extraction of subsets and plotting of alignment depth where the script syntax clos...
