rho-kinase is an effector molecule of rhoa, a monomeric gtp-binding protein, and causes ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase. the major physiological functions of rho/rho-kinase cascade include contraction, proliferation and migration in cells.there are some excellent reviews about rho/rho-kinase signal pathway, most of which focus on the specific proteins of the pathwa...

Quorum sensing is a chemical signaling mechanism used by bacteria to communicate and orchestrate group behaviors. Multiple feedback loops exist in the quorum-sensing circuit of the model bacterium Vibrio harveyi. Using fluorescence microscopy of individual cells, we assayed the activity of the quorum-sensing circuit, with a focus on defining the functions of the feedback loops. We quantitativel...

K-loops have their origin in the theory of sharply 2-transitive groups. In this paper a proof is given that K-loops and Bruck loops are the same. For the proof it is necessary to show that in a (left) Bruck loop the left inner mappings L(b)L(a)L(ab)−" are automorphisms. This paper generalizes results of Glauberman[3], Kist[8] and Kreuzer[9].

I give a physical discussion of the influence of particle number fluctuations on the high energy evolution in QCD. I emphasize the event–by–event description and the correspondence with the problem of ‘fluctuating pulled fronts’ in statistical physics. I show that the correlations generated by fluctuations reduce the phase–space for BFKL evolution up to saturation. Because of that, the evolutio...

In modern music genres like Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop or Techno many songs are built in a way that a pool of small musical pieces, so called loops, are used as building blocks. These loops are usually one, two or four bars long and build the accompaniment for the lead melody or singing voice. Very often the accompanying loops can be heard solo in a song at least once. This can be used as a-priori knowl...

Based on a binary tree model for the self-intersection of cosmic string loops containing high harmonics we estimate number self-intersections parent and daughter associated cusp production to determine most likely events per period resultant non-self-intersecting loops, provide an updated calculation gravitational wave signal that arrives Earth from cusps such loops. This is done different numb...
