Potential Geographic Distribution of the Novel Avian-Origin Influenza A (H7N9) Virus
(Public Library of Science, 2014-04-01)Background In late March 2013, a new avian-origin influenza virus emerged in eastern China. This H7N9 subtype virus has since infected 240 people and killed 60, and has awakened global concern as a potential pandemic ... -
Nonlinear and Complex Dynamics in Real Systems
(De Gruyter, 2006-06-01)In this article we provide a review of the literature with respect to fluctuations in real systems and chaos. In doing so, we contrast the order and organization hypothesis of real systems to nonlinear chaotic dynamics and ... -
Fixed-Point-Like Theorems on Subspaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2004-08-26)We prove a fixed-point-like theorem for multivalued mappings defined on the finite Cartesian product of Grassmannian manifolds and convex sets. Our result generalizes two different kinds of theorems: the fixed-point-like ... -
Intertemporally non−separable monetary−asset risk adjustment and aggregation
(Economics Bulletin, 2004)Modern aggregation theory and index number theory were introduced into monetary aggregation by Barnett (1980). The widely used Divisia monetary aggregates were based upon that paper. A key result upon which the rest of the ... -
A note on nonidentification in truncated sampling distribution estimation
(Economics Bulletin, 2010-06-19)Theoretical constraints on economic model parameters often are in the form of inequality restrictions. For example, many theoretical results are in the form of monotonicity or nonnegativity restrictions. Inequality constraints ... -
The first occurrence of a toxodont (Mammalia, Notoungulata) in the United States
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2013-01-08)Toxodonts were a group of large-sized notoungulates of South American origin. They were diverse and widespread in South America in deposits ranging in age from late Oligocene to late Pleistocene. Sparse remains have been ... -
Parallel solid-phase synthesis of diaryltriazoles
(Beilstein-Institut, 2012-07-06)A series of substituted diaryltriazoles was prepared by a solid-phase-synthesis protocol using a modified Wang resin. The copper(I)- or ruthenium(II)-catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition on the polymer bead allowed a rapid synthesis ... -
Automated three-component synthesis of a library of γ-lactams
(Beilstein-Institut, 2012-10-19)A three-component method for the synthesis of γ-lactams from commercially available maleimides, aldehydes, and amines was adapted to parallel library synthesis. Improvements to the chemistry over previous efforts include ... -
Hydrophobic analogues of rhodamine B and rhodamine 101: potent fluorescent probes of mitochondria in living C. elegans
(Beilstein-Institu, 2012-12-11)Mitochondria undergo dynamic fusion and fission events that affect the structure and function of these critical energy-producing cellular organelles. Defects in these dynamic processes have been implicated in a wide range ... -

Differential levels of glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) in Balb/c and C57BL/6 mice and the effects of overexpression of the Glud1 gene on glutamate release in striatum
(Portland Press Limited, 2011-03-29)We have previously shown that overexpression of the Glud1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1) gene in neurons of C57BL/6 mice results in increased depolarization-induced glutamate release that eventually leads to selective neuronal ... -
DB-PABP: a database of polyanion-binding proteins
(Oxford University Press, 2007-10-04)The interactions between polyanions (PAs) and polyanion-binding proteins (PABPs) have been found to play significant roles in many essential biological processes including intracellular organization, transport and protein ... -
Functional Genomics of Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease: Focus on Selective Neuronal Vulnerability
(Bentham Science, 2010-10-21)Pivotal brain functions, such as neurotransmission, cognition, and memory, decline with advancing age and, especially, in neurodegenerative conditions associated with aging, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, deterioration ... -
γ-Tubulin regulates the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome during interphase
(The Rockerfeller University Press, 2010-08-02)A cold-sensitive γ-tubulin allele of Aspergillus nidulans, mipAD159, causes defects in mitotic and cell cycle regulation at restrictive temperatures that are apparently independent of microtubule nucleation defects. ... -
A golden orb-weaver spider (Araneae: Nephilidae: Nephila) from the Middle Jurassic of China
(Royal Society Publishing, 2011-04-20)Nephila are large, conspicuous weavers of orb webs composed of golden silk, in tropical and subtropical regions. Nephilids have a sparse fossil record, the oldest described hitherto being Cretaraneus vilaltae from the ... -
γ-Tubulin plays a key role in inactivating APC/CCdh1 at the G1–S boundary

Fossil evidence of the zygomycetous fungi
(Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, 2013-02-18)Molecular clock data indicate that the first zygomycetous fungi occurred on Earth during the Precambrian, however, fossil evidence of these organisms has been slow to accumulate. In this paper, the fossil record of the ... -
Characterization of a Cdc42 Protein Inhibitor and Its Use as a Molecular Probe
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013-02-04)Cdc42 plays important roles in cytoskeleton organization, cell cycle progression, signal transduction, and vesicle trafficking. Overactive Cdc42 has been implicated in the pathology of cancers, immune diseases, and neuronal ... -
Bottlenecks in the Open-Access System: Voices from Around the Globe
(2014-03)A level playing field is key for global participation in science and scholarship, particularly with regard to how scientific publications are financed and subsequently accessed. However, there are potential pitfalls of the ... -
Decreased APOE-containing HDL subfractions and cholesterol efflux capacity of serum in mice lacking Pcsk9.
(Strangor, 2013-07-24)Background Studies in animals showed that PCSK9 is involved in HDL metabolism. We investigated the molecular mechanism by which PCSK9 regulates HDL cholesterol concentration and also whether Pcsk9 inactivation might affect ...
