Heterokaryon incompatibility is a cell destruction process that occurs when fungal cells of unlike genotype fuse. In Podospora anserina, autophagy is engaged during cell death by incompatibility and a number of genes are induced at the transcriptional level. These genes are termed idi (induced during incompatibility) genes. Among these is idi-4, a gene encoding a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) fac...

The image displacement instability (IDI) has been measured on the 20 MeV Axis I of the dual axis radiographic hydrodynamic test facility and compared to theory. A 0.23 kA electron beam was accelerated across 64 gaps in a low solenoid focusing field, and the position of the beam centroid was measured to 34.3 meters downstream from the cathode. One beam dynamics code was used to model the IDI fro...

We have investigated thyroid hormone deiodination in the liver, kidney and thyroid of the domestic cat. Affinity labelling with (125)I-bromoacetyl reverse T(3) (125)(I-BrAc-rT(3) demonstrated that liver and kidney, but not the thyroid, express type I iodothyronine deiodinase (IDI), results that were confirmed by measuring the activity of the IDI using (125)I-rT(3) and T(4) as substrate. Feline ...

We sought to investigate (1) the characteristics of epileptiform discharge (ED) duration and interdischarge interval (IDI) and (2) the influence of vigilance state on the ED duration and IDI in genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE). In a cohort of patients diagnosed with GGE, 24-h ambulatory EEG recordings were performed prospectively. We then tabulated durations, IDI, and vigilance state in relat...

In filamentous fungi, a programmed cell death (PCD) reaction occurs when cells of unlike genotype fuse. This reaction is caused by genetic differences at specific loci termed het loci (for heterokaryon incompatibility). Although several het genes have been characterized, the mechanism of this cell death reaction and its relation to PCD in higher eukaryotes remains largely unknown. In Podospora ...

Nowadays, most of sensitive applications over insecure network are protected by some authenticated secure channel which is highly relies on specific authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol. Nevertheless, the leakage of authentication credential used in AKE protocol somehow result in unauthorized exploitation of credential information via identity impersonation (IDI) attack. To address the pro...

STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional and longitudinal validation study. OBJECTIVE Development and validation of a short, reliable, and valid questionnaire for the assessment of low back pain-related disability. METHODS The iDI was created in a stepwise procedure: (1) its development was based on the literature and theoretical consideration; (2) outcome data were collected and evaluated in a pilot s...
