Chronic inflammation contributes to a wide variety of human disorders. In the stomach, longstanding gastritis often results in structural alterations in the gastric mucosa, including metaplastic changes and gastric cancers. Therefore, it is important to elucidate factors that are involved in gastric inflammation. Nardilysin (N-arginine dibasic convertase; Nrdc) is a metalloendopeptidase of the ...

Are firms born Global? Because knowledge spillovers that lead to new venture creation are geographically constrained we believe that firms are born local. It follows that the decision to create sustainable new ventures is independent from the decision to internationalize, even if that is the ultimate goal of the firm. We explore two avenues to internationalize new ventures, a direct path descri...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect age and dietary crude protein (CP) level on nitrogen (N) excretion in dairy heifers develop simple models predict N farm based nutrient intake parameters. Thirty-six Danish Holstein were divided into 4 groups; 8, 12, 16, 20 months old (M8, M12, M16, M20), respectively, with 9 animals per group. Heifers within groups blocked 3 according pregnancy s...

M16 (the Eagle Nebula) is a striking star forming region, with a complex morphology of gas and dust sculpted by the massive stars in NGC 6611. Detailed studies of the famous “elephant trunks” dramatically increased our understanding of the massive star feedback into the parent molecular cloud. A rich young stellar population (2−3 Myr) has been identified, from massive O-stars down to substellar...

Abstract Space radiation particles will cause a variety of effects on orbiting satellites, such as single event effects, total ionizing dose, displacement damage, etc. In response to these space BeiDou Navigation satellites M15/M16 operating in medium earth orbit (MEO) developed the first integrated monitor for high-energy proton and particle based detection technology. This payload realizes jo...

Context. Herschel far-infrared imaging observations have revealed the density structure of the interface between H ii regions and molecular clouds in great detail. In particular, pillars and globules are present in many high-mass star-forming regions, such as the Eagle nebula (M16) and the Rosette molecular cloud, and understanding their origin will help characterize triggered star formation. A...

s teel industries play a key role in the national economy and welfare of the society in many steel manufacturer countries. it is found that manufacturing and consuming of steel products would be a key indicator to measure and evaluate economic and industrial performance of a country. nowadays, countries with the large natural oil and gas resources (e.g. iran) attempt to select an alternative ec...
