Background: Cancer cachexia is referred to as a wasting condition, with skeletal muscle and fat loss. Although heart atrophy is recognized as a notable component of experimental cancer cachexia models, it has not been characterized in human studies. The contribution of cardiac structural and

, fatigue and dyspnea also were applied. For the first retrospective study, cirrhotic patients (n=100) with or without hepatocellular carcinoma were studied; values for left ventricular mass were abstracted from available echocardiography reports before liver transplant. For the second retrospective

structural and phylogenetic relationships with vertebrate IgSF receptor-types. This family contains stimulatory and inhibitory forms that regulate several innate immune cell effector responses via classical as well as novel cytoplasmic tail (CYT)-dependent signaling capabilities. My thesis is focused on

demonstrated novel inhibitory signaling capabilities for IpLITR 1.1b, including the first report of cross-talk signaling potential within a teleost immunoregulatory receptor family. My work shows that teleost immunoregulatory receptors are excellent models to advance the understanding of innate

transcripts, those encoding structural ribosomal proteins were highly enriched and all 15 had lower expression in WL. Conclusion We report the identification of 779 differentially expressed transcripts, several residing within QTL-regions for bone traits. Among differentially expressed transcripts, those

encoding structural ribosomal proteins were highly enriched and all had lower expression levels in WL. In addition, transcripts encoding four translation initiation and translation elongation factor proteins also had lower expression levels in WL, possibly indicating perturbation of protein biosynthesis

Design of Experiments (DOE) is often used in engineering as a method for determining the influence of one or more factors on the outcome of an experiment. In this paper, an analysis will be done of six papers that use DOE methods and include a property of cartilage as a factor to see what kind of

property of cartilage to be a significant factor. The information from this report was used to determine efficient factorial designs and can be used to design experiments involving the properties of cartilage.

This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains of Alberta. This research has been conducted by the

also in the surrounding area. This report focuses on PHRP Sub-objective A5, which is concerned with subsidence behaviour in reclaimed mine spoil. Differential subsidence of reclaimed surfaces has been demonstrated to create water—holding depressions that disrupt farming operations and to cause

pavement distress in roads crossing reclaimed areas. Subsidence depressions have the potential to delay granting of reclamation certification in the Plains region of Alberta. As part of our study of this phenomenon, we have reviewed the available engineering literature relative to subsidence of reclaimed

The value of teamwork is being recognized by project owners, resulting in an increased acknowledgement of collaboration among developers in software engineering. A good understanding of how developers work together could positively impact software development practices. In this paper, we

). From the results we find out that test files report the highest degree of collaboration among the developers, perhaps because collaboration is critical to ensure convergence of functionality tests. Furthermore, the source code files show the least degree of collaboration, perhaps because of code

The proposed study draws on a sample of young women and girls who were (1) deployed on suicide missions, (2) refused to detonate their bombs, (3) fled to the

experiences of these women and girls that would help them in developing counter radicalization/extremist strategies? This study adopts a qualitative methodology. Primary data will be garnered through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and government reports. The proposed research will generate

Rearrangement of RNA secondary structure is crucial for numerous biological processes. RNA helicases participate in these rearrangements through the unwinding of duplex RNA. We report here that the redox-regulated cyanobacterial RNA helicase, CrhR, is a bona fide RNA helicase possessing both RNA

characteristic of RNA helicases. Biochemically, CrhR resembles RecA and related proteins that catalyze strand exchange and branch migration on DNA substrates, a characteristic that is reflected in the recently reported structural similarities between these proteins. The data indicate the potential for CrhR to
