Predicting protein-folding patterns is a challenge due to the complex structure of proteins. Many sequence encoding schemes have been proposed to extract the features of pro-tein sequences, and these features are often fused to form a new combined feature set so that it can contain various useful information. However, there usually has redundant information in the combined features. In this pap...

We report here the case of a 15−year−old patient with symptoms characteristic of intestinal bleeding and severe anemia, who required repeated transfusions. The hematochemical parameters (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP (c−reactive pro− tein), antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibo− dies, anti−Saccharomyces cerevisiae anti− bodies (ASCA), antiendomysium antibo− dies, and the transglutaminases), a...

invasive measurement of cellular proliferation, namely, liver regeneration; although they did not show the site of the regeneration. Although PET is noninvasive andcan be performedon a living animal in real time, identifying the precise sites of synthesis is difficult. Thus, we determined site-specific pro tein and DNA syntheses precisely with a bioimaging ana lyzer system (BAS), which, althoug...

As a playground for cloud computing and IoT networking environment, IoTcloudServe@TEIN has been established in the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN). In platform, orchestration conducting flow of task demands is imperative effectively improving performance. this paper, we propose model optimal containerized scheduling that maximizes average payoff from completing tasks within whole syste...

The avianuncoupling protein (avUCP) is a member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily that uncouples proton entry in the mitochondrial matrix from ATP synthesis. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the UCP/HhaI polymorphisms and to determine associations between these polymorp...

BACKGROUND Mitochondrial dysfunction participates in the progression of several pathologies. Although there is increasing evidence for a mitochondrial role in liver disease, little is known about its contribution to hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. In this study we investigated the role of mitochondrial activity through mild uncoupling during in vitro activation of HSCs. METHODS Cultur...

Chromaffin vesieles were first purified by differential and density gradient centrifugation in isotonie (Percoll) gradients. In subsequent suerose gradients p38jsynaptophysin exhibited the same distribution as established marker substances of chromaffin vesieles. Quantification of immunoblots revealed that 750 ng p38{synaptophysin per mg of protein were present in the chromaffin vesieles reeove...

The MAGE genes encoding tumor rejection antigens recognized by < 11,s are expressed at the mRNA level in various cancers and in the testis but not in the other normal tissues. The expression of MAGE-1 or MAGE-4 protein in the testicular cells was studied immunohistochemically with the antibodies to the recombinant MAGE-1 or MAGE-4 pro tein. Both proteins were identified in the nucleus and cytop...
