With their higher sustainability index, biofuels, environmentally-friendly and renewable nature is a viable alternative energy source in the transportation sector. This study presents effect of waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel on performance, combustion, emission from compression ignition engine. The was blended with diesel varying proportions 5% 95% (designated as B5), 10% (B10), 15% (B15), 2...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cytogenetic disorder resulting from formation of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), that is, the t(9;22) chromosomal translocation and the formation of the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as imatinib and nilotinib, have emerged as leading compounds with which to treat CML. t(9;22) is not restricted to CML, 20-30% of acute lympho...

The accessory radula closer (ARC) muscle of Aplysia has long been studied as a typical "slow" muscle, one that would be assumed to respond only to the overall, integrated spike rate of its motor neurons, B15 and B16. The precise timing of the individual spikes should not much matter. However, but real B15 and B16 spike patterns recorded in vivo show great variability that extends down to the ti...

In many systems used to study rhythmic motor programs, the structures that generate behavior are at least partially internal. In these systems, it is often difficult to directly monitor neurally evoked movements. As a consequence, although motor programs are relatively well characterized, it is generally less clear how neural activity is translated into functional movements. This is the case fo...

Double inoculation of soybean with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), a member of the Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae, isolates V-S98-1 and V-S98-15, together with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) a member of the Genus Potyvirus, Family Potyviridae) isolates 2K-38, S98-51 and S98-52, was compared to single inoculation with each of the isolates, on Hutcheson, Hutcheson Roundup Ready® (RR BC3) and Hutch...

NOD mice, a model strain for human type 1 diabetes, express proinsulin (PI) in the thymus. However, insulin-reactive T cells escape negative selection, and subsequent activation of the CD8(+) T-cell clonotype G9C8, which recognizes insulin B15-23 via an αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) incorporating TRAV8-1/TRAJ9 and TRBV19/TRBJ2-3 gene rearrangements, contributes to the development of diabetes. In thi...
