PURPOSE The survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is a hallmark of many optic neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma. YC-1, a potential anticancer drug, is known to be able to decrease the stability and protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α that is triggered by hypoxia and related to RGC survival. We hypothesized that YC-1 may alter RGC cell viability through the down...

Pseudomonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1, isolated from pesticide-polluted soil, efficiently degrades organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) such as chlorpyrifos, parathion-methyl, triazophos, and parathion. Here, we report the genome sequence (4.83 Mb) of P. stutzeri YC-YH1 to facilitate further investigation of the OPP-degrading mechanism.

BACKGROUND Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1alpha), a component of HIF-1, is expressed in human tumors and renders cells able to survive and grow under hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions. YC-1, 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole, an agent developed for circulatory disorders that inhibits platelet aggregation and vascular contraction, inhibits HIF-1 activity in vitro. We tested wh...

Restricted feeding and high concentrate diets are potential strategies for growing dairy heifers. Ruminal manipulation with additives such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture (YC) has been shown to alter digestibility when added to this type of diet. An experiment was conducted to investigate the ruminal fermentation and in situ digestibility of diets with 3 different levels of forage to ...

Internal and external quality characters of poultry eggs are quitely important to determine egg weight. Also, the is for both hatching production. The purpose this study was modelling weight with MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) method using inner outsider in Lohmann LSL Classic white hybrit flock. For purpose, hybrid flock (n=60) were used. Weekly yields evaluated from 22nd week...

fungi are found in different environments with variable distribution patterns depending on various factors. the aim of this study was determination of fungal contaminants in public swimming pools in uromia, iran. the fungal contaminations of four indoor swimming pools were studied by using membrane filtration and swab sampling method. samples were collected by a manual plastic pump, in a 200 ml...

Suppose F = W (k)[1/p] where W (k) is the ring of Witt vectors with coefficients in algebraically closed field k of characteristic p 6= 2. We construct integral theory of p-adic semi-stable representations of the absolute Galois group of F with Hodge-Tate weights from [0, p). This modification of Breuil’s theory results in the following application in the spirit of the Shafarevich Conjecture. I...

this study aimed at application of optimization standards of water consumption in swimming pools of urmia. for this purpose, all 13 swimming pools of urmia were studied as the statistical sample of the study. the data were collected through a questionnaire and a checklist obtained based on the standards of standard institution and industrial studies (1388) and the office of national legislation...

Differences in the adaptation processes between muscle and tendon response to mechanical loading can lead non-uniform properties within muscle–tendon unit (MTU), potentially increasing injury risk. The current study analysed of triceps surae (TS) MTU 10 young (YS; 22 ± 3 yrs) older (OS; age 65 8 yrs; i.e. master) (inter)national level sprinters 11 recreationally active adults (YC; 23 detect pos...

We present a dynamical modeling of integrated (end-to-end) container terminal operations using finite state machine (FSM) framework where each is represented by discrete-event system (DES) formulation. The hybrid model incorporates the quay cranes (QC), internal trucks (IT), and yard (YC) also selection storage positions in (CY) vessel bays. QC YC are connected IT our models. As opposed to comm...
