METHODS. Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to identify molecular components of CLANs and quantitate CLAN formation in HTM cells plated on coverslips coated with various extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (fibronectin, types I and IV collagen, and vitronectin), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, or activating antibodies against 1, 3, or 2 1 integrins. These integrin antibodies were ...

Рассматривается вопрос интерпретации персональных гаплотипов современных этнических хакасов применительно к их частным генеалогиям. В ходе ДНК-тестирования Y-хромосомы получены разномаркерные панели гаплотипов, которые были использованы для определения гаплогрупп, а главное – сравнения с персональными устными и архивно-документальными родословными доноров целью верификации родства. Новизна этог...

Most of the known prohead maturation proteases in double-stranded-DNA bacteriophages are shown, by computational methods, to fall into two evolutionarily independent clans of serine proteases, herpesvirus assemblin-like and ClpP-like. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that these two types of phage prohead protease genes displaced each other multiple times while preserving their exact location with...

Central Asia is suddenly on the world map. Indeed, September 11 and the U.S. war against the Taliban and the al-Qaeda terror network in Afghanistan have drawn Central Asia from the periphery to near the center of that map. Policy makers forging strategies for Afghanistan have begun to realize that the entire vast region is plagued by increasingly weak states and regimes that are losing popular ...

Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) are large mammalian carnivores, but their societies, called 'clans', resemble those of such cercopithecine primates as baboons and macaques with respect to their size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated group-mates. However, in contrast to cercopithecine primates, spotted hyenas regularly hunt antelope and co...

We introduce the Multiscale Voter Model (MVM) to investigate clan influence at multiple scale -- family, neighborhood, political party... in opinion formation on real complex networks. Clans, consisting of similar nodes, are constructed using a coarse-graining procedure network embeddings that allows us control for length interactions. ran numerical simulations monitor evolution MVM dynamics an...

In the article it is analyzed process of criminalization Lebanese clans arrived in Germany early 1980s. It noted that was caused by a number reasons, including marginal situation immigrants, lack attention authorities to integration problems, specifics mentality, etc. Starting with petit thefts and street drug trafficking, gradually began create their own economic structures, which included bot...
