The achievement of the asphalt production target is largely determined by engine performance. good maintenance one way to improve One carry out machine begins with identifying damage that occurs so machine's performance can be predicted maintain quality and quantity production. Asphalt activities are often disrupted due low Machinery Plant (AMP) machine, while AMP main in activities. method use...

OBJECTIVE(S) Carotenoids which are naturally synthesized by fungi such as yeasts can act as an antioxidant which is closely related to their ability to decrease the risk of a variety of degenerative diseases. In recent years, the increase of demand for carotenoids obtained from natural sources has promoted major efforts to improve carotenoid production from biological sources such as pigmented ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiproliferative effects of interferon (IFN)-α and rapamycin (RPM) on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells and examine the synergistic growth suppression conferred by IFN-α and RPM. The effects of IFN-α and/or RPM on RCC cells were determined using a WST-1 assay and the synergy of IFN-α and RPM against three RCC cell lines was analyzed with isobo...

Abstract The homogeneous density of the liquid phase is experimentally investigated for methyl diethanolamine. Data are obtained along five isotherms in a temperature range between 300 K and 360 pressures up to 95 MPa. Two different apparatuses used measure speed sound temperatures 322 450 with maximum pressure These measurements literature data develop fundamental equation state model formulat...

The transition in barnase from the native state to a partially unfolded conformation has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water molecules at 360 K and low pH(450 ps), and at 600 K and neutral pH (three simulations of 120, 250 and 200 ps each). The use of several simulations provides evidence that the results are not sensitive to initial conditions. To mimic low pH co...

BACKGROUND Among patients with implantable defibrillators (ICD), use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) is associated with lower risk of death and rehospitalization. Standard ICD RPM can be supplemented with weight and blood pressure data. It is not known whether standard RPM plus routine weight and blood pressure transmission (RPM+) is associated with better outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS RPM...

This paper describes patterns of skill progression in Forza Motorsport 4, an Xbox 360 racing game. Using in-game telemetry data from more than 200,000 players and 24 million races, we characterize how players use and customize driving assists such as the trajectory line, automatic gear shifting, or assisted braking over time. We find that some of the assists are never disabled by significant pl...

Previous studies in Caenorhabditis elegans showed that RPM-1 (Regulator of Presynaptic Morphology-1) regulates axon termination and synapse formation. To understand the mechanism of how rpm-1 functions, we have used mass spectrometry to identify RPM-1 binding proteins, and have identified RAE-1 (RNA Export protein-1) as an evolutionarily conserved binding partner. We define a RAE-1 binding regi...
