The specific contributions of this work may be summarized as follows: (a) No hybridization of uterine and skeletal myosin occurs at pH 6.0 although previous studies have shown that hybridization does occur at pH 6.5 (B. Kaminer et al. 1976. J. Mol. Biol. 100:379-386) or 7.0 (T. Pollard. 1975. J. Cell Biol. 67:93-104) (b) Hybridization of uterine and skeletal light meromyosins (LMM) occurs at pH...

Localized malignant pleural mesothelioma (LMM) is a rare subset of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Its epidemiology, biology, natural history and optimal treatment are poorly understood. We report a case of LMM treated aggressively with complete surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy, but subsequently complicated by local chest wall recurrence and solitary metastasis to the kidney. This c...

A steady increase in the number of cores within many-core platforms causes increasing contentions for the interconnect medium and leads to non-negligible latencies of the inter-core communication. In order to study the worst-case execution times of applications, it is no longer sufficient to only take into account their schedulability requirements, but the communication delays also have to be c...

The common seismic fragility analysis methods are mainly inaccurate due to assumptions made in derivation process or time consuming because of large sample analysis. A new approach based on lognormal mixture model (LMM) is presented for long-span bridges, where LMM used calculate the structural demand distributions and obtained through cumulative distribution function. To demonstrate feasibilit...

BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is associated with adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poorer quality of life, and death. Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication increases ghrelin secretion, which may be a possible treatment for sarcopenia. We investigated whether HP eradication reduces the risk of low muscle mass (LMM), which is an integral component of sarcopenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Healthy...

Constraint-based learning of Bayesian networks (BN) from limited data can lead to multiple testing problems when recovering dense areas of the skeleton and to conflicting results in the orientation of edges. In this paper, we present a new constraint-based algorithm, light mutual min (LMM) for improved accuracy of BN learning from small sample data. LMM improves the assessment of candidate edge...

Intratracheal administration of low molecular mass (LMM) hyaluronan (200 kDa) results in greater neutrophil infiltration in the lungs of TLR4(-/-) mice compared with that in wild-type mice. In general, enhanced neutrophil infiltration in tissue is due to cell influx; however, neutrophil apoptosis also plays an important role. We have assessed the effects of TLR4 in the regulation of neutrophil ...

The interaction of titin with myosin has been studied by binding assays and electron microscopy. Electron micrographs of the titin-myosin complex suggest a binding site near the tip of the tail of the myosin molecule. The distance from the myosin head-tail junction to titin indicates binding 20-30 nm from the myosin COOH terminus. Consistent with this, micrographs of titin-light meromyosin (LMM...

In draft-kempf-netlmm-nohost-ps, the problems with using global IP mobility management protocols for local mobility and some problems with existing localized mobility management protocols are described. In this document, we explore requirements for localized mobility management in more detail. An extensive gap analysis against the protocols illustrates where existing protocols are able to fulfi...

Three different stages of pig antral follicles have been studied in a granulosa-cell transcriptome analysis on nylon microarrays (1152 clones). The data have been generated from seven RNA follicle pools and several technical replicates were made. The objective of this paper was to state the feasibility of a transcriptomic protocol for the study of folliculogenesis in the pig. A statistical anal...
