Altered splicing pattern of TACC1 mRNA in gastric cancer
2002
Abstract Transforming acidic coiled-coil ( TACC ) proteins are centrosome and microtubule-associated proteins that are essential for mitotic spindle function. We identified TACC1 as an immunogenic protein and a potential tumor antigen by applying serological identification of antigens by recombinant expression cloning (SEREX) technique to screen a gastric cancer cDNA library. The 5′RLM-RACE and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed at least six different transcript variants of TACC1 with variable transcription start sites and alternative exon usage (designated TACC1-A–TACC1-F ). All transcripts differ in their 5′ ends but share an identical 3′ region encoding coi…

Halloysite nanotubes: a green resource for materials and life sciences
2020
Clay minerals are considered one of the materials of the 20th century for their peculiar physico-chemical features. Among them, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are an emerging nanomaterial with a particular tubular structure that makes them a low cost and valuable alternative to the most common carbon nanotubes. Due to their tubular morphology, HNTs are employed in several fields acting as nanocontainers for different compounds for applications in drug carrier and delivery fields, catalysis, and as filler for polymeric matrices. The modification of HNTs’ surfaces allows to the synthesis of different nanoarchitectures that can improve the mechanical and thermal performance of polymer as well as …
To Calculate or To Follow Others : How Do Information Security Managers Make Investment Decisions?
2019
Economic models of information security investment suggest estimating cost and benefit to make an information security investment decision. However, the intangible nature of information security investment prevents managers from applying costbenefit analysis in practice. Instead, information security managers may follow experts’ recommendations or the practices of other organizations. The present paper examines factors that influence information security managers’ investment decisions from the reputational herding perspective. The study was conducted using survey questionnaire data collected from 106 organizations in Finland. The findings of the study reveal that the ability and reputation …
Biešu sulas koncentrāta ietekme uz futbolistu fiziskajām darbaspējām atkārtotas sprinta slodzes laikā
2021
Pēdējās desmitgades laikā nitrātu (NO3-) un to metabolītu labvēlīgā ietekme uz augstas intensitātes intervāla veida slodzi bijusi aprakstīta dažādos uztura pētījumos (Bailey et.al. 2012, Jones et.al. 2018). Darba mērķis bija novērtēt, kā biešu sulas koncentrāts, kas ir bagātīgs NO3- avots, spēj uzlabot sportistu spējas veikt atkārtotus, maksimālas intensitātes sprintus. Pētījumā piedalījās 7 Rīgas futbola skolas audzēknes vecumā no 15 līdz 22 gadiem. Dalībniecēm pētījuma laikā bija divas testēšanas dienas - kontroles variants un eksperimentālais variants, kur pētāmās personas veica maksimālas intensitātes 10 atkārtotu sprintu testu, kurš bija 20 m garš skriešanas intervāls, pēc kura sekoja …
Bioflocculation of Euglena gracilis via direct application of fungal filaments: a rapid harvesting method
2021
Funding Information: Special thanks to the US Agricultural Research Service for the provision of fungal strains. Thanks also to Dr Marilyn Wiebe (Technical Research Centre of Finland) for her expert advice on fungi and Johanna Oja for her technical help. This research was enabled by funding from The Land and Water Technology Foundation, The Finnish Cultural Foundation, and The Finnish Foundation for Technology Promotion. Publisher Copyright: © 2021, The Author(s). The high cost and environmental impact of traditional microalgal harvesting methods limit commercialization of microalgal biomass. Fungal bioflocculation of microalgae is a promising low-cost, eco-friendly method but the range of …
Enhancing single-parameter quantum charge pumping in carbon-based devices
2011
We present a theoretical study of quantum charge pumping with a single ac gate applied to graphene nanoribbons and carbon nanotubes operating with low resistance contacts. By combining Floquet theory with Green's function formalism, we show that the pumped current can be tuned and enhanced by up to two orders of magnitude by an appropriate choice of device length, gate voltage intensity and driving frequency and amplitude. These results offer a promising alternative for enhancing the pumped currents in these carbon-based devices.

H-KPP : Hypervisor-Assisted Kernel Patch Protection
2022
We present H-KPP, hypervisor-based protection for kernel code and data structures. H-KPP prevents the execution of unauthorized code in kernel mode. In addition, H-KPP protects certain object fields from malicious modifications. H-KPP can protect modern kernels equipped with BPF facilities and loadable kernel modules. H-KPP does not require modifying or recompiling the kernel. Unlike many other systems, H-KPP is based on a thin hypervisor and includes a novel SLAT switching mechanism, which allows H-KPP to achieve very low (≈6%) performance overhead compared to baseline Linux.
