Intergenic subset organization within a set of geographically-defined viral sequences from the 2009 H1N1 influenza A pandemic
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)
We report a bioinformatic analysis of the datasets of sequences of all ten genes from the 2009 H1N1 influenza A pandemic in the state of Wisconsin. The gene with the greatest summed information entropy was found to be the ...
Genetic variation may play a crucial role in non-coding RNA biogenesis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Transcription, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational modification, DNA replication, and signaling interaction of intra- and extra- cellular components are the relevant mechanisms in gene ...
Modulation of gastric mucosal inflammatory responses to Helicobacter pylori by ghrelin: Role of cNOS-dependent IKK-β S-nitrosylation in the regulation of COX-2 activation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)
Disturbances in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) isozyme systems, manifested by the excessive NO and prostaglandin (PGE2) generation, are well-recognized features of gastric mucosal inflammatory responses ...
Interaction of haptoglobin with hemoglobin octamers based on the mutation αAsn78Cys or βGly83Cys
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)
Octameric hemoglobins have been developed by the introduction of surface cysteines in either the alpha or beta chain. Originally designed as a blood substitute, we report here the structure and ligand binding function; in ...
A silkworm hemolymph protein is a prophenoloxidase activation blocker
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Melanization in insect hemolymph is triggered by the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. The signal transduction leads to the activation of the prophenoloxidase and hence ...
The full length PtSRP (Pisolithus tinctorius symbiosis related protein) fungal mRNA encodes a potential marker of ectomycorrhiza formation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)
The Pisolithus tinctorius symbiosis related protein expressed sequence tag (EST PtSRP) was previously identified in the first hours of the interaction between the fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and sweet chestnut Castanea ...
A Comprehensive Parametric Study of Planar Inverted-F Antenna
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)
This paper presents a comprehensive numerical and experimental study of Planar Inverted-F Antennas (PIFA) involving all the parameters which may affect the characteristics of PIFA. It is found that PIFA characteristics are ...
Generalized PIC Detector for Distributed STBC under Quasi-Synchronization
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)
In this paper, we propose a Generalized Parallel Interference Cancelation (G-PIC) approach for the detection of D-STBC under Quasi-Synchronization in the case of any number of relay nodes with just statistical information ...
Energy-Efficient and Coverage-Aware Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)
Energy efficiency and sensing coverage are essential metrics for enhancing the lifetime and the utilization of wireless sensor networks. Many protocols have been developed to address these issues, among which, clustering ...
A Wideband Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna for 60 GHz Wireless Communications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)
This paper presents the design of a fully packaged 60 GHz wideband patch antenna incorporating an air cavity and a fused silica superstrate. Circular polarization (CP) is realized by introducing a diagonal slot at the ...
