Kringle 2 mediates high affinity binding of plasminogen to an internal sequence in streptococcal surface protein PAM.

Many cells express receptors for plasminogen (Pg), although the responsible molecules in most cases are poorly defined. In contrast, the group A streptococcal surface protein PAM contains a domain with two 13-amino acid residue long repeated sequences (a1 and a2) responsible for Pg binding. Here we identify the region in Pg that interacts with PAM. A radiolabeled proteolytic plasminogen fragment c

Implementation of a Highly Scalable Architecture for Fast Inversion of Triangular Matrices

In this paper, an F'F'GA implementation of a novel and highly scalable hardware architecture for fast inversion of triangular matrices is presented. An integral part of modem signal processing and communications applications involves manipulation of large matrices. Therefore, scalable and flexible hardware architectures are increasingly sought for. In this paper, the traditional triangular shaped

Swedish and Lithuanian employed women’s subjective well-being

National differences in subjective well-being (SWB) and relationships between SWB and socio-demographic factors were investigated in samples of middle-aged employed Swedish (N = 316) and Lithuanian (N = 308) women. The results showed that the Swedish women scored significantly higher on each SWB component than their counterparts in Lithuania, except in extrinsic job satisfaction. For the Swedish s

Inside the Box - Cultures of Innovation in a Mature Industry

Innovation has been regarded a crucial means by which organizations adapt to the changes in the environment. Previous studies have identified organizational culture as a key factor that influences innovation, suggesting that a culture with certain characteristics can lead to superior innovation performance. This culture is referred to as “innovation culture”, a notion which has recently enjoyed gr

Institutions and Social Mobilization: Save Our School (Damansara) Movement in Malaysia

Social movements in Malaysia have been traditionally exclusive in nature. Social movements in Malaysia have been limited by ethnic, social, and lingual barriers that constrained their capacity mobilizing the mass to overcome state constraints. However, the resistance of the Damansara New Village community against the State’s closure of the community school, Damansara Primary School, demonstrated t
