Expression, Purification And Biophysical Characterization Of Large Fragments Of The Apelin Receptor Enabling Delineation Of A Juxtamembrane Helix With Amphipathicity Necessary For Plasma Membrane Localization.
(2018-01-05)The apelin receptor (AR or APJ) is a class-A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by various isoforms of the peptide hormones apelin and, during embryonic development, apela. The apelin-AR system has been proposed ... -
eXSTS: eXplainable Semantic Textual Similarity
(2021-08-30)We propose eXplainable Semantic Textual Similarity (eXSTS) with two visualizations that allow the users to investigate the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) relationship between two documents. eXSTS offers insights for the ... -
Extemporaneously Compounded Topical Calcium Channel Blockers for Wounds and Skin Ulcers
(2019-08-15)Compounded topical calcium channel blockers are used for the treatment of wounds, such as anal fissures and diabetic ulcers. Diltiazem and nifedipine are the calcium channel blockers with the most evidence for topical use. ... -
Extended Exergy Analysis of the Nova Scotian Economy 2006
(2011-05-03)Human societies may be modeled as very large complex systems involving multiple flows of energy and materials between different sectors. Traditional exergy analysis methods are inadequate for the analysis of such systems ... -
EXTENDED IMMERSION COEFFICIENT SPECTRUM FOR HYPER SPECTRAL RADIOMETERS
(2018-10-26)Satellite mounted with OCI [Ocean Colour Instrument] must be validated and calibrated periodically while commissioned using hyper spectral radiometers. Absolute calibration of Hyper Spectral Radiometers is done in the air ... -
EXTENDED LIFETIME AND INCREASED ENERGY DENSITY STUDIES FOR LI-ION CELLS
(2021-08-27)Strategies to improve Li-ion cells involve decreasing cost, increasing lifetime, increasing energy density, and increasing safety. This thesis presents work from two studies aimed at extending cell lifetime and improving ... -

External controls on Post-Eocene slope-to-deep-water sediment deposition in offshore Tanzania
(2024-04-27)The East African Rift System (EARS), a modern example of a divergent plate boundary in its early stages of development, is a natural laboratory to investigate the interplay between rift tectonics and landscape evolution. ... -
EXTRACELLULAR MITOCHONDRIA RELEASED FROM LIVER ISCHEMIA REPERFUSION INJURY ACT AS ALARMINS TO EVOKE INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND TRIGGER INFLAMMATION
(2020-08-07)Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation enhances the immunogenicity of allografts and thus impacts overall graft outcome. This sterile inflammatory insult is known to activate innate immunity and ... -
Extracellular vesicle sampling and small RNA analysis from high grade glioma patient plasma for the identification of novel biomarkers and development of organotypic cultures as an ex vivo model for extracellular vesicle production
(2023-08-31)High grade glioma (HGG) tumours secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) for paracrine signaling into plasma or growth media (in the case of cultured tissues). Isolation of these EVs and their cargo could help to better ... -
EXTRACTION OF CYSTATIN (ENZYME INHIBITORS) FROM ANIMAL SLAUGHTERHOUSE WASTES
(2013-12-06)The ammonium sulphate precipitation method was used for the extraction of cystatin from bovine lungs, pancreas and a mixture of lungs and pancreas. The main aim of this study was to determine the highest cystatin yield ... -
EXTRACTION OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS FROM ATLANTIC HERRING ( Clupea harengus)
(2012-12-14)The fish processing industry faces problems due to the negative environmental impact of its wastes. Fish wastes can be used to produce oil, protein, calcium, bio-diesel and numerous bioactive compounds. In particular, fish ... -
EXTRACTION OF SULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS FROM MACKEREL AND HERRING FISH WASTE
(2013-08-26)Marine capture fisheries contribute over 50% of total world fish production and more than 70% of this production is utilized for processing. The Canadian commercial fishing industry is one of the world’s most valued ... -
