We propose a uniform solution based on Pomset Logic to several diierent syntactic phenomena in Natural Languages, and in particular topicalization, relative clauses, interrogative clauses, extraposi-tion, discontinuous constituents and cliticization. We show that Pomset Logic is expressive enough to describe all the linguistic transformations due to these phenomena, in the sense that all transf...

Three promoters have been identified as having potentially important regulatory roles in governing expression of the fla/che operon and of sigD, a gene that lies near the 3' end of the operon. Two of these promoters, fla/che P(A) and P(D-3), lie upstream of the >26-kb fla/che operon. The third promoter, P(sigD), lies within the operon, immediately upstream of sigD. fla/che P(A), transcribed by ...

BACKGROUND Solid tumours are less oxygenated than normal tissues. Consequently, cancer cells acquire to be adapted to a hypoxic environment. The poor oxygenation of solid tumours is also a major indicator of an adverse cancer prognosis and leads to resistance to conventional anticancer treatments. We previously showed the involvement of Che-1/AATF (Che-1) in cancer cell survival under stress co...

La sofferenza silenziosa dell’abbandono precoce non elaborata scava rumorosamente anche nell’attitudine genitoriale soprattutto nella possibilità adottiva. Figli adottivi che creano a loro volta una famiglia di accoglienza adottiva trovano un potenziale traumatogeno pericoloso nel vivere dalla parte genitoriale una esperienza filiale conosciuta. A volte queste strutture familiari, che non sono ...

BACKGROUND In Togo, about half of health care costs are paid at the point of service, which reduces access to health care and exposes households to catastrophic health expenditure (CHE). To address this situation, the Togolese government introduced a National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2011. This insurance currently covers only employees and retirees of the State as well as their depende...

2014 Chronic hand eczema (CHE), an inflammatory skin disease, places heavy psychosocial and economic burden on the affected individual and society as a whole. Patch testing is recommended to identify potential causative allergens in each patient. Efficacy of traditional topical treatments render the management of CHE challenging. Oral alitretinoin (9-cis-retinoic acid) is a new drug for the tre...

Cholinesterases (ChE) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are capable for hydrolyzing esters. Our previous structure-activity analysis of ChE substrates showed that extended conformation of substrate choline moiety is productive for hydrolysis by AChE and its semi-folded conformation is productive for hydrolysis by BChE. The formation of activated complex between ChE an...

Objective- This study examined the effect of Crataegus hydroalcoholic extract (CHE) on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Design- Experimental study Animals- 25 adult male Wistar rats Procedures- Rats weighing 200±25 g were randomly divided into five individual groups as follows: sham group without...

Generally nonchemotactic mutants of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium were analyzed by interspecies complementation tests to determine the functional correspondence between the che genes of these two organisms. The E. coli che region was introduced into Salmonella recipients by means of a series of F-prime elements. Wild-type che genes of E. coli F'420 complemented all che mutants of ...
