An approach for large scale protein identification and quantification was described. The peptide mixtures from the strong cation exchange (SCX) fractionated protein digests were separated and analyzed by HPLC MS/MS. The human fibrobalst nuclei were purified from stimulated and non-stimulated cells. The quantification results with MALDI and ESI LC/MS were shown to be identical within experimental e

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a diverse family of peptides that defend the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity and other locations. Many AMPs have multiple functions and properties that influence aspects of innate defense and colonization by microorganisms. The human oral cavity is home to the second-most diverse microbiome, and the health of the mouth is influenced by the presence of these ba

Plants have been modelled using different identification methods. Some results from the identification of the dynamics of a nuclear reactor, a distillation column, a superheater and a paper machine are presented. Models for the different processes, obtained by the maximum likelihood method, are compared to models, obtained by other identification methods: the least squares method, the tally princi

GrassPlot is a collaborative vegetation-plot database organised by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and listed in the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD ID EU-00-003). GrassPlot collects plot records (relevés) from grasslands and other open habitats of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm. It focuses on precisely delimited plots of eight standard grain sizes (0.0001; 0.001; ...

Multiple fossil discoveries and taphonomic experiments have established the durability of keratin. The utility and specificity of antibodies to identify keratin peptides has also been established, both in extant feathers under varying treatment conditions, and in feathers from extinct organisms. Here, we show localization of feather-keratin antibodies to control and heat-treated feathers, testifyi

In Iran, People Who Inject Drugs (PWID), Female Sex Workers (FSW), and prisoners are the main key populations at risk of HIV infection. This study aimed to evaluate the trend of HIV incidence among PWID, FSW and prisoners as an impact measure of HIV harm reduction and prevention efforts in Iran. Data were obtained from the two rounds of national bio-behavioral surveillance surveys among FSW (2010

The use of this material under current conditions is supported by existing information. 1,1-Diethoxyheptane was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from the read-across analog octanal dimethyl acetal (CAS # 10022-28-3) show that 1,1-diethoxyheptane

Nowadays, we live in a society with billions of devices that are interconnected and interact together to improve the quality of our lives. The management and processing of information and knowledge have by now become our main resources, and the fundamental factors of economic and social development, and it is achieved through Big Data Frameworks (BDFs). The amount of such data is becoming larger e

The operator Riccati equation associated with a distributed parameter quadratic cost-linear dynamics control process is considered.Making use of ideas from transport theory, a derivation of a generalized version of the X-Y functions of radiative transfer is given, and it is seen that, under commonly occurring conditions, the new equations may be easier to numerically resolve than the original Ricc

In this paper some of the numerical problems associated with computing the generalized inverse of a matrix are discussed and illustrated by a detailed analysis of an iteration of Ben-Israel and Cohen.

The problem of identifiability of processes using measurements obtained under closed loop operation is treated. Single input-single output systems are considered. It is assumed that the feedback is time invariant, linear and noise free. It is also assumed that no external input signal is injected. Conditions, which are simultaneously necessary and sufficient for identifiability are derived. The re

Tin whiskers are hair-like single crystals that spontaneously grow from tin-coated surfaces. Whiskers are commonly found in electronic components, where tin coatings are used in, e.g., soldering applications, and to protect components from corrosion. Whiskers are known to cause short-circuits leading to failure of electronic components. The exact mechanisms responsible for whisker formation and gr
