Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex Dimorphism in the Fgf21 Gene Expression in Liver and Adipose Tissues is Dependent on the Metabolic ConditionNadezhda Bazhan, Tatiana Jakovleva, Natalia Balyibina et al.Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) beneficially affects carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Previously, a sex-specific activation of Fgf21 expression was observed in humans and animals with metabolic diseases. It is unknown whether the sex differences in the Fgf21 expression are manifested in response to the natural physiological situations of fasting and refeeding. The aim of this work was to determine liver, White … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2019 · 8,153 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomething about Electron DimensionRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.In this study will be exposed the theoretical principles necessary for the determination of the exact size of an electron in motion, depending on its speed of travel. Equations, aimed to accurately determines the radius R of the electron in motion, relating the electron moving speed v and its rest mass m0 are discussed. Mechanical moment of inertia of a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 24 Nov 2016 · 8,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPiezoelectric Co-Rotational 3-Node Shell ElementGil Rama, Dragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnGeometrically nonlinear FE-analysis of active piezoelectric thin-walled shell structures, based on a Co-Rotational (CR) formulation and the Cell-Smoothed Discrete-Shear-Gap 3-node shell element (CS-DSG3) is presented in this study. The electric potential across the thickness of piezolayers is approximated by a linear function. The basic assumption of the applied Co-Rotational (CR) FEM formulation is that translations and rotations are finite, whereas … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Oct 2016 · 7,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision-Based Real-Time Positioning and Autonomous Navigation System Using Mobile Robot in Indoor EnvironmentsDiop Mamadou, Lim Chot Hun, Lim Tien Sze, Ong Lee YengResearch toward unmanned mobile robot navigation has gained significant importance in the last decade due to its potential applications in the location-based services industry. The increase in construction of large space indoor buildings has made difficulty for humans to operate within such environments. In this study, a mobile robot's indoor navigation algorithm is developed with vision cameras. Using two monocular … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing the Robustness of Visual Degradation Based HAM Reversible Data HidingHabiba Sultana, A.H.M. Kamal, Mohammad Mahfuzul IslamPurposely visual degradation of image quality is a newfangled idea in the area of Histogram Association Mapped (HAM) reversible data hiding. Such scheme first divides the color scale, i.e., 0-255, into some partitions by the range, difference of minimum and maximum value of a block. Next, the histogram of a block resided to a partition, original partition, is moved, e.g., … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Mar 2016 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposal of a Genome Editing System for Genetic Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt VirusFederico Martinelli, Giovanni Grillone, Filippo SgroiViruses provoke considerable economical losses in agriculture. New molecular approaches to develop genetic resistance based on translational genomics and precision genetic modifications are highly expected. The type II Clustered, Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system including Cas9 nuclease represent a promising and very powerful tool to specifically modulate the expression and activity of genes involved in biotic stress responses.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Recombinant Proteins in Insect CellsChristian Kollewe, Andreas VilcinskasAmong the wide range of methods and expression hosts available for the heterologous production of recombinant proteins, insect cells are ideal for the production of complex proteins requiring extensive post-translational modification. This review article provides an overview of the available insect-cell expression systems and their properties, focusing on the widely-used Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS). We discuss the different strategies … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 13,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MODIFIED ADAPTIVE WAVELET SHRINKAGE SPECKLE FILTER FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGESNirmaladevi Periyasamy, Asokan RamasamyThe usage of ultrasound imaging for medical diagnosis is limited due to the presence of speckle noise. In this study Modified Adaptive Wavelet Shrinkage Filter (MAWSF) in the translational invariant domain is proposed for the removal of speckle noise. The adaptive wavelet threshold function removes the fixed bias of soft thresholding. A new inter-scale dependency model is proposed, to perform … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Sep 2013 · 6,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancerous Immunoglobulins and CA215: Implications in Cancer ImmunologyGregory LeeImmunoglobulins are typically expressed by B cells in our normal immune system. However, certain normal human tissues, such as hyperplastic epithelial cells, cells of the immunologically privileged sites and the majority of cancer cells, have also been found to be sites of immunoglobulin production. Current research is lacking in regards to the differential immunoglobulin expression, the underling mechanisms of action … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Sep 2012 · 8,942 accessesView PDFCite
