For better business performance or continuous process improvement of an enterprise, real-time measurement and analysis of the performance of managerial activities is essential. Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) which provides real-time access to key performance indicators or business processes is one of core elements for successful BPM system. Since performance measurement cannot be managed in...

Drosophila germ-line stem cells (GSCs) provide an excellent model to study the regulatory mechanisms of stem cells in vivo. Bag of marbles (bam) has been demonstrated to be necessary and sufficient to promote GSC and cystoblast differentiation. Despite extensive investigation of its regulation and genetic functions, the biochemical nature of the Bam protein has been unknown. Here, we report tha...

Epigenetic silencing is critical for maintaining germline stem cells in Drosophila ovaries. However, it remains unclear how the differentiation factor, Bag-of-marbles (Bam), counteracts transcriptional silencing. We found that the trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me3), a modification that is associated with gene activation, is enhanced in Bam-expressing cells. H3K36me3 levels wer...

MOTIVATION Business Architecture Models (BAMs) describe what a business does, who performs the activities, where and when activities are performed, how activities are accomplished and which data are present. The purpose of a BAM is to provide a common resource for understanding business functions and requirements and to guide software development. The cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG®)...

Perpendicular barium ferrite ~BaM! films with Pt interlayers were successfully fabricated. The magnetic and structural properties of BaM films were compared with BaM films without Pt interlayers. It was found that perpendicular c-axis orientation was greatly improved for films with Pt interlayers. Perpendicular remanent squareness is increased, and the c-axis dispersion angle Du50 is decreased ...

The type II restriction endonuclease, Bam HI, has been overexpressed in E. coli by cloning the Bam HI gene in frame with an E. coli Ribosome Binding Site (RBS) under the T7 promoter of an E. coli expression vector pRSET A. The expression level of Bam HI endonuclease using this construct was found to be higher than that reported of the overexpressing clone pAEK14. Our overexpressing clone, pAABR...

Bidirectional associative memory (BAM) is a kind of an artificial neural network used to memorize and retrieve heterogeneous pattern pairs. Many efforts have been made to improve BAM from the the viewpoint of computer application, and few theoretical studies have been done. We investigated the theoretical characteristics of BAM using a framework of statistical-mechanical analysis. To investigat...

an earthquake with magnitude ms = 6.5 on the richter scale occurred in december 26th, 2003 in bam region in southeastern part of iran. this study investigates the chemical variations of the groundwater resources in the effected region. for this purpose, 30 wells were selected and chemical compounds, in terms of cations (ca+2, mg+2, na+, k+); anions (hco3, so4, cl, no2), as well as ec, tds and p...

The β-barrel assembly machine (BAM) complex is an essential feature of all bacteria with an outer membrane. The core subunit of the BAM complex is BamA and, in Escherichia coli, four lipoprotein subunits: BamB, BamC, BamD and BamE, also function in the BAM complex. Hidden Markov model analysis was used to comprehensively assess the distribution of subunits of the BAM lipoproteins across all sub...

Goat antibody IgG produced against bovine corpus luteum mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 (P-450scc) associated with cholesterol side chain cleavage (CSCC) was used to compare immunological characteristics of mitochondrial cytochrome P-450s from the bovine adrenal cortex (BAM), bovine corpus luteum (BCLM), and human placenta (HPM). In Ouchterlony double diffusion, anti-P450scc produced a single ba...
