As their name implies, matrix metalloproteinases are thought to be responsible for the turnover
and degradation of the extracellular matrix. However, matrix degradation is neither the …

Colonoscopy is widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of colon disorders. Properly
performed, colonoscopy is generally safe, accurate, and well-tolerated. Visualization of the …

… Parking is considered for a driver to be the hardest when driving a car because parking is
a high-stress maneuver. This paper deals with parking space detection by using ultrasonic …

PURPOSE:: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a morbid condition with a difficult diagnosis
and a high rate of complications, which is associated with a high mortality rate. For the …

Many signaling, cytoskeletal, and transport proteins have to be localized to the plasma
membrane (PM) in order to carry out their function. We surveyed PM-targeting mechanisms by …

The influx of inflammatory cells to sites of injury is largely directed by signals from the
epithelium, but how these cells form chemotactic gradients is not known. In matrilysin null mice, …

We report metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxial growth and structural and photoluminescent
characteristics of ZnO nanorods. The nanorods were grown on Al 2 O 3 (00⋅1) substrates at …

This paper presents an index of patent rights for 110 countries for the period 1960–1990.
The index is used to examine what factors or characteristics of economies determine how …

Crystalline structures of cellulose (named as Cell 1), NaOH-treated cellulose (Cell 2), and
subsequent CO 2 -treated cellulose (Cell 2-C) were analyzed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction …

Using 13.5 fb− 1 of e+ e− annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector, we have
observed a narrow resonance decaying to D s*+ π 0 with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c 2. The search …
