In insulin-sensitive skeletal muscle, the expression of constitutively active Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase α (caCaMKKα) stimulates glucose uptake independent of insulin signaling (i.e., Akt and Akt-dependent TBC1D1/TBC1D4 phosphorylation). Our objectives were to determine whether caCaMKKα could stimulate glucose uptake additively with insulin in insulin-sensitive muscle, in...

Six antimicrobial-producing seaweed-derived Bacillus strains were evaluated in vitro as animal probiotics, in comparison to two Bacillus from an EU-authorized animal probiotic product. Antimicrobial activity was demonstrated on solid media against porcine Salmonella and E. coli. The marine isolates were most active against the latter, had better activity than the commercial probiotics and Bacil...

We establish an unexpected relation among the Weil-Petersson metric, the generalized Hodge metrics and the BCOV torsion. Using this relation, we prove that certain kind of moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds do not admit complete subvarieties. That is, there is no complete smooth family for certain class of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We also give an estimate of the complex Hess...

This paper compares the use of four mechanical methods for characterization of residual stress variation in low pressure chemical vapor deposited (LPCVD) polysilicon thin films deposited, doped, and annealed under different conditions. Stress was determined using buckling structures, vibrating microstructures, static rotating structures and the wafer curvature method. After deposition of 1.0 μm...

We present the identification of the optical counterparts to the low-mass X-ray binaries 1A 1246−588 and 4U 1812−12. We determine the X-ray position of 1A 1246−588 from ROSAT /PSPC observations and find within the error circle a blue star with V = 19.45, B − V = 0.22 and R − I = 0.22 which we identify as the counterpart. Within the Chandra error circle of 4U 1812−12, a single star is present wh...
