Pancreatic ?-cell mass and insulin secretion are determined by the dynamic change of transcription factor expression levels in response to altered metabolic demand. Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) is an evolutionarily conserved playing critical roles multiple cellular processes. However, physiological role NF-Y pancreatic ?-cells poorly understood. The current study was undertaken a conditional knockou...

Statistics in terms of spectrum occupancy are useful for efficient and smart dynamic sharing, the statistics can be obtained by long-term wide-band measurements. In this paper, we investigate noise floor (NF) estimation energy detection (ED)-based wideband measurements since NF heavily affects ED performance eventually accuracy occupancy. Specifically, address following problems simultaneously ...

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe soft tissue infection, characterized by rapid and fulminant progression. Thus, early suspicion, prompt medical aggressive surgical management are important for the clinical outcomes of NF. Despite rarity NF in infants group B streptococcus as its cause, 2-month-old preterm girl presented with involving suprapubic, inguinal, lower lateral abdominal regions ...

Background: Regular walking in different types of footwear may increase the mediolateral shear force, knee adduction moment, or vertical ground-reaction forces that could risk early development osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: To compare kinematic and kinetic parameters affect OA 3 conditions. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total 40 asymptomatic participants performed trials...

The presence of lignin and its degraded products such as tannin and humic acids is the main reason causing the aerobically-treated palm oil mill effluent (AT-POME) to display colour at the point of discharge. In this work, a hybrid method is developed to treat the AT-POME sample that was conventionally treated by biological method. This hybrid method combines coagulation and nanofiltration (NF)...

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the most important anodic reactions in electrochemical conversion devices. Although a lot OER electrocatalysts have been developed, actual active sites during not fully understood. Herein, we report that distorted FeOOH/Ni hydroxide on Ni foam (NF) (d-FeOOH/Ni hydroxide-NF) shows better performance (1.50 V at 100 mA/cm2 and long-term stability for 32 h ...

the chromosomal spread and karyotype of bleak (alburnus alburnus) from anzali lagoon were identified using tissue squashing techniques with injection of 0.5ml/100g body weight of 0.01% colchicines solution in fish fingerlings. kidney and gill tissues were then extracted and chopped in kcl 0.045m for 20 min and fixed in carnoy solution in 3 stages. the chromosomal spreads were stained in 20% gim...

our previous study reported that lactobacillus acidophilus ( l.acidophilus )  key laboratory of dairy science  (klds) 1.0738 had an effective impact on inhibiting β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) allergy. this study further investigated the anti-allergic activity of peptidoglycan (pgn) isolated from klds 1.0738. this study aimed to assess whether toll-like receptor 2 (tlr2)/nf-kappab (nf-κb) signaling ac...
