This review addresses the function of the protein-transporter glycoprotein-P (Pgp, ABCB1 protein) and the expression Specialty Item of its encoding gene MDR1/mdr1 throughout the gestational period in humans and animals.We discuss the relationship between the transporter function and the hormone fluctuations during pregnancy.We cite studies on the a
Abstract The characteristics of whistlers generated from an observed gigantic jet (GJ) are assessed and possible locations to detect these waves are deduced.Modeling is based on disturbances in the electric field, as measured by NCKU ELF/VLF station, associated with a tree-like GJ event over typhoon Lionrock.The power spectrum of GJ differs from th
This paper contributes to on-going empirical search for an appropriate crude oil price benchmark that ensures greater financial stability and efficient fiscal management in Nigeria.It adopted the seasonally adjusted ARIMA forecasting models using monthly data series from 2000m01 to 2012m12 to predict future movement in Nigeria crude oil prices.The
The stabilization of G-Quadruplex DNA structures by ligands is a promising strategy for telomerase inhibition in cancer therapy since this enzyme is responsible for the unlimited proliferation of cancer cells.To assess the potential of a compound as a telomerase inhibitor, selectivity for quadruplex over duplex DNA is a fundamental attribute, as th
We consider situations where rays are reflected according to geometrical optics by Cord a set of unknown obstacles.The aim is to recover information about the obstacles from the travelling-time data of the reflected rays using geometrical methods and observations of singularities.Suppose that, for a disjoint union of finitely many strictly convex s
