Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are well known as molecular chaperones, playing important roles in cellular metabolism, escorting other proteins during aggregation, disaggregation, folding, and unfolding. They have been classified ...

Gene expression and DNA repair are fundamental processes for life. During the last decade, accumulating experimental evidence point towards different modes of coupling between these processes. Here we discuss the molecular ...

Seven full scale hydrostatic burst tests were carried out on pipes extracted from an API 5LX52 gas pipeline that contained rectangular and elliptical fillet welded patches and other repairs of different geometries. All ...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for aggressive tumors is based on nuclear reaction [10B (n, α) 7Li]. Previously, we demonstrated that BNCT could be applied for the treatment of undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma. The ...

This paper addresses the use of customer perceived value (CPV) as a tool for competitive analysis among automotive repair and maintenance shops. It describes how to determine both the relative importance of properties taken ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest and most highly mineralized tissue in the human body. While there have been a number of studies aimed at understanding the hardness and crack growth resistance behavior of this tissue, no study ...

Heterochromatin protein 1 paralogs (HP1α, β and γ in mammals) are not only central in heterochromatin organization, but have also been linked to transcriptional activation at euchromatic regions, maintenance of telomere ...

There are many unreinforced masonry buildings all over the world. Many of them are located in seismic zones and are, therefore, susceptible to lateral forces caused by earthquakes. The transmission of these forces to the ...
