CAR (Coxsackie and Adenovirus Receptor) is the primary docking receptor for typeB coxsackie viruses and subgroup C adenoviruses. CAR is a member of the JAM family of adhesion receptors and is located to both tight and adherens junctions between epithelial cells where it can assemble adhesive contacts through homodimerisation in trans. However, the role of CAR in controlling epithelial junction ...

We all have specific personality traits that are reflected in our behavior (or at least those we pretend or appear to have), and we often have strong opinions about the personalities of those surrounding us. But what about computers? Do computers have a personality, or can they at least model different types of personalities? Can they perceive or understand the personalities of their human users?

This paper explores Carl Jung's bipolar assumption, and several Jungian psychological instruments that have been designed to describe people's personalities. Using the Singer-Loomis Type Mode Profile data of 259 business students, we determined that, in the majority of cases, the bipolar predictions of people's personality strengths did not hold up.

At the end of mitosis, the nuclear lamins assemble to form the nuclear lamina during nuclear envelope formation in daughter cells. We have fused Aand B-type nuclear lamins to the green fluorescent protein to study this process in living cells. The results reveal that the Aand B-type lamins exhibit different pathways of assembly. In the early stages of mitosis, both lamins are distributed throug...

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODS—Maternal serum carotenoids (aandb-carotene, lycopene, and lutein) and vitamins A, D, and E (aand g-tocopherols) were measured at first (12.26 1.9 weeks [mean6 SD], visit 1), second (21.66 1.5 weeks, visit 2), and third (31.56 1.7 weeks, visit 3) trimesters of pregnancy in 23 women with type 1 diabetes who subsequently developed PE (DM PE+) and 24 women with type 1 diabe...

This work provides performance guarantees for the greedy solution of experimental design problems. In particular, it focuses on Aand E-optimal designs, for which typical guarantees do not apply since the mean-square error and the maximum eigenvalue of the estimation error covariance matrix are not supermodular. To do so, it leverages the concept of approximate supermodularity to derive nonasymp...

Decoupling behavior modeling from a specific inheritance hierarchy has become one of the challenges for object-oriented software engineering. The goal is to encapsulate behavior on its own, and yet be able to freely apply it to a given class structure. We claim that standard object-oriented languages do not directly address this problem and propose the concept of Personalities as a design and p...
