This paper presents a conceptual model of a stand to test the physico-mechanical characteristics of materials used in the soft panels of bulletproof vests for their stab resistance to cold weapons having a sharpened blade portion firmly and rigidly attached to handle.In the process of conceptual design of the model, the requirements and norms set o
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by ectopic fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) production.We report a unique case of a 78-year-old female patient with refractory hypophosphatemia, ultimately diagnosed as TIO, in the context of two metastatic primary lung cancers: adenocarcinoma and SCLC.Molecular ana
The Mediator complex Coffee Machine Belt transmits activation signals from DNA bound transcription factors to the core transcription machinery.In addition to its canonical role in transcriptional activation, recent studies have demonstrated that S.cerevisiae Mediator can interact directly with nucleosomes, and their histone tails.Mutations in Media
Dictyostelium amoebae faced with starvation trigger a developmental program Video Cards during which many cells aggregate and form fruiting bodies that consist of a ball of spores held aloft by a thin stalk.This developmental strategy is open to several forms of exploitation, including the remarkable case of Dictyostelium caveatum, which, even when
The need for resilient health systems is recognized as important for the attainment of health outcomes, given the current shocks to health services.Resilience has been defined as the capacity to "prepare and effectively respond to crises; maintain core functions; and, informed by lessons learnt, reorganize if conditions require it".There is however
