In an environment that has a shortage of territories, helping to rear younger siblings ('alloparenting') is proposed to facilitate territory acquisition in two ways: (i) through group augmentation that leads to an increase of the territory with subsequent partial inheritance (budding); and (ii) through site dominance that leads to greater success when competing for the natal or a nearby territo...

The Southern HII Region Discovery Survey (SHRDS) is a 900 hour Australia Telescope Compact Array 4-10 GHz radio continuum and recombination line (RRL) survey of Galactic regions infrared-identified region candidates in the southern sky. For this data release, we reprocess all previously published SHRDS include an additional ~450 hours observations. search for new now complete over range 259 deg...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify indicators that can predict patients at high risk of tumor recurrence in Stage II, T3 colon cancer. METHODS A total of 138 patients classified as Stage II, T3 underwent curative resection of colon cancer between 1981 and 1993. Clinical variables included age, gender, bowel obstruction, tumor location, and emergency presentation. For each colon tum...

We present a simple statistical thermodynamic model for budding of viral nucleocapsids at the cell membrane. The membrane is modeled as a flexible lipid bilayer embedding linker (spike) proteins, which serve to anchor and thus wrap the membrane around the viral capsids. The free energy of a single bud is expressed as a sum of the bending energy of its membrane coat, the spike-mediated capsid-me...

In hepatitis C virus (HCV) polyprotein sequence, core protein terminates with E1 envelope signal peptide. Cleavage by signal peptidase (SP) separates E1 from the complete form of core protein, anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane by the signal peptide. Subsequent cleavage of the signal peptide by signal-peptide peptidase (SPP) releases the mature form of core protein, which prefe...

A variety of peripheral membrane proteins associate dynamically with Golgi membranes during the budding and trafficking of transport vesicles in eukaryotic cells. A monoclonal antibody (AD7) raised against Golgi membranes recognizes a peripheral membrane protein, p200, which associates with vesicles budding off the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Based on preliminary findings, a potential associatio...
