ENO1 gene product binds to the c-myc promoter and acts as a transcriptional repressor: relationship with Myc promoter-binding protein 1 (MBP-1).
2000
The Myc promoter-binding protein-1 (MBP-1) is a 37-38 kDa protein that binds to the c-myc P2 promoter and negatively regulates transcription of the protooncogene. MBP-1 cDNA shares 97% similarity with the cDNA encoding the glycolytic enzyme alpha-enolase and both genes have been mapped to the same region of human chromosome 1, suggesting the hypothesis that the two proteins might be encoded by the same gene. We show here data indicating that a 37 kDa protein is alternatively translated from the full-length alpha-enolase mRNA. This shorter form of alpha-enolase is able to bind the MBP-1 consensus sequence and to downregulate expression of a luciferase reporter gene under the control of the c…
GPS lietotņu un ierīču lietojamības analīze
2018
Pētot, ievācot informāciju un aprakstot darbu par tēmu “GPS lietotņu un ierīču lietojamības analīzi”, autors pētīja esošos pieejamos GPS navigāciju risinājumus, to lietošanu un tendences, aptaujājot ar anketas palīdzību iedzīvotājus. Maģistra darba izstrādē tika veikta arī sekundāro datu analīze. Balstoties uz iegūtajiem rezultātiem no aptaujāto cilvēku viedokļiem, un mūsdienu pieejamiem risinājumiem, tika veikts praktiskais darbs kā pētījums, kurā tika pārbaudīta navigācijas lietotņu un ierīču lietojamības analīze, kā arī dotas atsauksmes lietotņu izstrādātājiem par lietotājiem draudzīgāku, saprotamāku un ērti lietojamāku navigācijas lietotni vai ierīci tirgum.
Reālās dzīves objektu atrašanās vietu noteikšana
2016
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt kā ar tehnoloģiju palīdzību reālā laikā var uzraudzīt dažādu reālās dzīves objektu atrašanās vietas, piemēram, automašīnas, bērna vai kustībā esoša slēpotāja atrašanās vietu. Darba uzdevumi ir izpētīt problēmas, ar kurām jāsaskaras izstrādājot šāda veida sistēmas, izstrādāt šādu sistēmu konceptuālo darbības modeli un piedāvāt savu risinājumu, kas balstīts uz šī modeļa. Šādu sistēmu problēmas parasti saistās ar atrašanās vietas datu iegūšanas, kā arī datu transportēšanas drošību un resursu taupības aspektu. Šādu sistēmu izmantošana varētu atvieglot dažādu ikdienišķu darbību norisi un ar tehnoloģiju palīdzību ļaut mums sniegt atbildi uz jautājumu tik ikdienišķu jautāju…
GPS Monitoring of the Scopello (Sicily, Italy) DGSD Phenomenon: Relationships Between Surficial and Deep-Seated Morphodynamics
2015
The Scopello area, which is located along the north-western Tyrrhenian coastal sector of the Sicilian chain (Italy), is widely affected by Deep-seated Gravitational Slope Deformation (DGSD) phenomena, which are mainly the result of a geomorphologic setting marked by the outcropping of an overthrust plan, limiting a brittle fractured carbonate slab, laid onto a ductile marly-clayey substratum. Due to the very advanced stage of the deformation phenomena, a coupled morphodynamic style has established between shallow landslides and DGSD phenomena, affecting the exhumed ductile substratum and the overlaying rigid dismantled slab, respectively. A GPS network was realized for monitoring the Scopel…
Situación actual de Dictamnus hispanicus Webb (Rutaceae) en la provincia de Alicante: distribución y aspectos etnobotánicos
2017
El tarraguillo (Dictamnus hispanicus) es un endemismo de la mitad oriental de la Península Ibérica que posee notable relieve por sus usos tradicionales en la provincia de Alicante (Comunidad Valenciana, España), donde forma parte de los ‘herberos’ o licores de hierbas silvestres. Sin embargo, existe aún poca información sobre el resto de usos de la planta en esa provincia. Para incrementar dicho conocimiento, se han realizado encuestas semiestructuradas (n=90) y se ha completado la información sobre su distribución mediante el empleo de Sistemas de Información Geográfica, localizándose referencias para 27 cuadrículas UTM de 1×1 km. Se han recogido 5 fitónimos en valenciano (74,44 % de los i…
An Online Time Warping based Map Matching for Vulnerable Road Users’ Safety
2018
International audience; High penetration rate of Smartphones and their increased capabilities to sense, compute, store and communicate have made the devices vital components of intelligent transportation systems. However, their GPS positions accuracy remains insufficient for a lot of location-based applications especially traffic safety ones. In this paper, we developed a new algorithm which is able to improve smartphones GPS accuracy for vulnerable road users' traffic safety. It is a two-stage algorithm: in the first stage GPS readings obtained from smartphones are passed through Kalman filter to smooth deviated reading. Then an adaptive online time warping based map matching is applied to…
Similarity of GPS Trajectories Using Dynamic Time Warping: An Application to Cruise Tourism
2019
The aim of this research is to propose an analysis of the trajectories of cruise passengers at their destination using Dynamic Time Warping algorithm. Data collected by means of GPS devices relating to the behavior of cruise passengers in the port of Palermo have been analyzed in order to show similarities and differences among their spatial trajectories at destination. A cluster analysis has been performed in order to identify segments of cruise passengers, based on the similarity of their trajectories. The results have been compared in terms of several metrics derived from GPS tracking data in order to validate the proposed approach. Our findings are of interest from a methodological pers…
West African Monsoon water cycle: 1. A hybrid water budget data set
2010
International audience; This study investigates the West African Monsoon water cycle with the help of a new hybrid water budget data set developed within the framework of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses. Surface water and energy fluxes are estimated from an ensemble of land surface model simulations forced with elaborate precipitation and radiation products derived from satellite observations, while precipitable water tendencies are estimated from numerical weather prediction analyses. Vertically integrated atmospheric moisture flux convergence is estimated as a residual. This approach provides an advanced, comprehensive atmospheric water budget, including evapotranspiration,…
A multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of the mechanism that triggered the Cerda landslide (Sicily, Italy).
2005
Abstract The present paper describes a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of a seismically triggered landslide that occurred in the Cerda area (Italy) on September 6, 2002, about 1 h after an earthquake took place in the south Tyrrhenian Sea. The study was focused on an analysis of the role of the seismic input in triggering the landslide, in view of the evidence that no other mass movement was recorded in the adjacent areas despite geological and geomorphological spatial homogeneity. The studied area is located on a slope of the western flank of the Fiume Imera Settentrionale (Northern Sicily), which is made up of clayey–arenitic rocks. The slope inclines gently but is not unifor…
Hybrid moving bed biofilm reactors: an effective solution for upgrading a large wastewater treatment plant
2009
Over the last few years there has been a growing attention regarding the receiving water body quality state. As a matter of a fact, the Directive 91/271 of the European Union (EU) replaced the “emission standard” concept that fixes discharge limits depending on polluting emission characteristics, with the “stream standard” concept that fixes discharge limits for each polluting substance depending on self-depurative characteristics of the RWB. In this context, several WWTPs need to be upgraded in order to meet stricter effluent limits. The need of WWTP upgrading was also emphasized by the growing urbanization that have led, in most cases, to get overloaded WWTP due to an overcoming of the ma…
