Abstract Background Decreased levels of circulating bone marrow-derived progenitor cells have been associated with risk factors and cardiovascular diseases.Smoking is the most important modifiable risk factor for atherosclerosis in young women.The aim of this pilot study was to assess in healthy premenopausal women without other risk factors for ca
Mode-1 N2 internal tides observed by satellite altimetry
Satellite altimetry provides a unique technique for observing the sea surface height (SSH) signature of internal tides from space.Previous studies have constructed empirical internal tide models for the four largest constituents M2, S2, K1, and O1 by satellite altimetry.Yet no empirical models have been constructed for minor tidal constituents.In t
Squamous Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity in Patient with Fanconi Anemia: A Challenging Reconstruction with Double-barrel Free Fibula Flap Case Report
Summary:.Fanconi anemia (FA) is a very rare form of aplastic anemia.Patients with FA have a higher Targets risk of developing solid tumors such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, higher risk of local recurrence, and impaired resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments than the normal population.In this article, we describe the cha
Zymobacter palmae Pyruvate Decarboxylase is Less Effective Than That of Zymomonas mobilis for Ethanol Production in Metabolically Engineered Synechocystis sp. PCC6803
To produce bioethanol from model cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis, a two gene cassette consisting of genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are required to transform pyruvate first to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol.However the partition of pyruvate to ethanol comes at a cost, a reduction in biomass and pyru
