Here, we show that the murine neurodegenerative disease mdf (autosomal recessive mouse mutant 'muscle deficient') is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in Scyl1, disrupting the expression of N-terminal kinase-like protein, an evolutionarily conserved putative component of the nucleocytoplasmic transport machinery. Scyl1 is prominently expressed in neurons, and enriched at central nervous sys...

It is demonstrated in many thermodynamic textbooks that the equivalence of the different ensembles is achieved in the thermodynamic limit. In this present work we discuss the inequivalence of microcanonical and canonical ensembles in a finite ultracold system at low energies. We calculate the microcanonical momentum distribution function (MDF) in a system of identical fermions (bosons). We find...

This paper presents a design and implementation result of a high-speed, low-complexity four data-path 64point radix-2 FFT/IFFT processor for high-throughput MIMO-OFDM wireless LAN system. The proposed FFT/IFFT processor can provide a higher throughput rate and low hardware complexity by using a four-parallel datapath scheme and a multipath delay feed-back (MDF) structure. The proposed four data...

Savannakhet Province, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), is a small area that is connected to Thailand, other areas of Lao PDR, and Vietnam via road No. 9. This province has been increasingly affected by carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the transport corridors that have been developed across the region. To determine the effect of the CO2 increases caused by deforestation and emissions, th...

We have performed a spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in the nearest giant elliptical NGC 5128 using the 2dF facility at the Anglo-Australian telescope. We obtained integrated optical spectra for a total of 254 GCs, 79 of which are newly confirmed on the basis of their radial velocities and spectra. In addition, we obtained an integrated spectrum of the galaxy starlight along the s...

The effect of multi-directional forging on the development texture and increase hardness was investigated for a commercial A5052 aluminum alloy, which had an initial with major orientation ｛001｝<100>. Two specimens were prepared: one obtained via (MDF) performed four times at true strain 0.18 each forging, while other prepared unidirectional (UDF) time 0.72. MDF UDF same 0.72 exhibited tendenci...

Os pisos com revestimento de madeira são produtos engenheirados, geralmente produzidos lâminas coladas sobre chapa compensado ou painéis reconstituída, os quais possuem larga aceitação no mercado brasileiro. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se desenvolver um piso composto bambu e MDF, uso tratamento termomecânico, determinar as suas propriedades físicas mecânicas em comparação laminado comercial. As a...

Abstract Medium density fibreboards (MDF) are currently not recycled after service life, but various publications report on recycling by the disintegration of MDF using techniques and properties obtained recovered fibres (RF). In this study, main aim was to put back RF into manufacturing process as closed-loop repeated thermo-hydrolytic disintegration. Compared previous studies, focus with a re...

BACKGROUND Cognitive performance is a complex process influenced by multiple factors. Cognitive assessment in experimental animals is often based on longitudinal datasets analyzed using uni- and multi-variate analyses, that do not account for the temporal dimension of cognitive performance and also do not adequately quantify the relative contribution of individual factors onto the overall behav...
