Diagnostic and prognostic value of plasma level of microRNA-92a in acute myeloid leukemia
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs of ~21 to 23 nucleotides in length that post-transcriptionally regulate mRNA expression. Highthroughput methodologies have shown deregulated miRNA expression in an ... -
The origin of biological information and programmed protein synthesis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)Biological information is one of the most important characteristics of life, and it enables life to evolve to higher complexity and adapt to the environment by mutation and natural selection. However, the origin of this ... -
Functional reconstruction of bovine P450scc steroidogenic system in Escherichia coli
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)Mammalian cytochrome P450scc enzyme system catalyzes the initial step in steroid hormone biosynthesis—cholesterol hydroxylation followed by cleavage of the side-chain to yield pregnenolone. This system consists of three ... -
Comparative study on some selected species of Ocimum genus on free radical scavenging activity and hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced intoxication in rats
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)In this study, we compared the in vitro antioxidant property among the selected Ocimum species (O. sanctum, O. americanum, O. basilicum and O. gratissimum) and hepatoprotective activities of their extracts against CCl4 ... -
Characterization of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) based on molecular, chemical and physiological parameters
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) is a potential legume crop of the tropics with high protein and oil content in the seeds. Analysis of the mutual genotypic relationships among twenty four genotypes of P. ... -
Identification and preliminary characterization of novel B3-type metallo-β-lactamases
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a major global threat to human health. Among the strategies employed by pathogens to acquire resistance the use of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), a family of dinuclear metalloenzymes, is ... -
A New Adaptive EDCA Approach to QoS of Wireless Communications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)Under the background of intelligent transportation application, QoS for various services is different in wireless com-munication. Based on the MAC layer protocol, this paper analyzes the QoS in IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol ... -
The Performance Gain of Cognitive Radio in Adaptive Modulation Scheme
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)Cognitive radio is considered as one of the main enablers for provisioning dynamic and flexible spectrum/channel allocation in wireless communications. The reliable data transmission over cognitive radio should employ ... -
A Perspective on Traffic Measurement Tools in Wireless Networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)To understand the characteristics of the wireless networks, the network usage data from wireless measurement tools are essential. The data collection is a process of collecting the network time-varying information in ... -
WiMAX System Simulation and Performance Analysis under the Influence of Jamming
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)This paper presents simulation of WiMAX based system under jamming. The performance of the system was found out to greatly differ with the use of different jamming signals, allowing central areas to be identified, where ... -
Interaction between the Wilms tumour factor-1 element in the promoter of Amh and a downstream enhancer is required for a strong expression of the gene in pre-pubertal sertoli cells
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)Amh (anti-Müllerian hormone) is a single copy gene which is expressed strongly in Sertoli cells in the foetal testis and participates in the onset of sexual differentiation. Its promoter driving the expression of a reporter ... -
Determination and inheritance of phytic acid as marker in diverse genetic group of bread wheat
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)Phytic acid (Myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6 hexa-kisphophate) is a storage form of phosphorus and can accumulate to the levels as high as 35% in the wheat kernel. Phytic acid acts as an inhibitor for macronutrients as well as ... -
