Introduction: Cracks are a key feature that determines the structural integrity of rocks, and their angular distribution can be used to determine the local or regional stress patterns.The temporal growth of cracks can be monitored in order to predict impending failures of materials or structures such as a weakened dam.Thus, cracks and their spatial
Could the FDA-approved anti-HIV PR inhibitors be promising anticancer agents? An answer from enhanced docking approach and molecular dynamics analyses
Olayide A Arodola, Mahmoud ES SolimanMolecular Modelling and Drug Design Lab, School of Health Sciences, Westville Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South AfricaAbstract: Based on experimental data, the anticancer activity of nelfinavir (NFV), a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI), was reported.Ne
Reconstructing the phylogeny of 21 completely sequenced arthropod species based on their motor proteins
Abstract Background Motor proteins have extensively been studied in the past and consist of large superfamilies.They are involved in diverse processes like cell division, cellular transport, neuronal transport processes, or muscle contraction, to name a few.Vertebrates contain up to 60 myosins and about the same number of kinesins that are spread o
Segment-based Melody Matching for Query By Singing/Humming
Segment-based melody matching approaches are proposed to solve the problems of pitch instability, tempo inconsistency, candle and puff noise of singing/humming in Query By Singing/Humming system.Instead of comparing frame by frame from the beginning and trying different scaling ratio, our segment-based approaches reduce the computation complexity b
UNILATERAL FOUL SMELLY NASAL DISCHARGE IN AN ADULT
The incidence of rhinolith is by far very low compared to the nasal foreign bodies, especially in adult.Foreign body (FB) inthe nostril will lead to unilateral nasal symptom which can start with nasal obstruction or discomfort.In younger children,they may miss to report the problem to THERMAL XTC PEACH MANGO the parents but, later on, the FB will m
