Improper lengths of actin-thin filaments are associated with altered contractile activity and lethal myopathies.Leiomodin, a member of the tropomodulin family of proteins, is critical in thin filament assembly and maintenance; however, its role is under dispute.Using nuclear magnetic resonance data and molecular dynamics simulations, we generated t
Ocular Hypotonia and Transient Decrease of Vision as a Consequence of Exposure to a Common Toad Poison
The common toad produces venom (bufotoxin) that is produced in the parotid gland of the toad as well as in the skin.This toxic compound is a potent inhibitor of Na+/K+-ATPase activity.Physiological effects of bufotoxin are similar to those of digitalis and cause increased heart rate and muscle contractions.Ocular toxicity was described.A 67-year-ol
Benchmark calculation for radioactivity inventory using MAXS library based on JENDL-4.0 and JEFF-3.0/A for decommissioning BWR plants
We performed benchmark calculation for radioactivity activated in a Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) by using MAXS library, paddles which was developed by collapsing with neutron energy spectra in the PCV of the BWR.Radioactivities due to neutron irradiation were measured by using activation foil detector of Gold (A
Existence and stability of traveling waves in parabolic systems of differential equations with weak diffusion
The aim of the present paper is to investigate of some properties of periodic solutions of a nonlinear autonomous parabolic systems with a periodic condition.We investigate parabolic systems of differential equations using an integral SHOES DRESS manifolds method of the theory of nonlinear oscillations.We prove the existence of periodic solutions i
