PAR-2 is the second member of the family of proteinase-activated receptors activated by trypsin, tryptase, and several other serine proteinases.In order to evaluate the therapeutic Unitard potential for PAR-2, we have performed studies on PAR-2-mediated signal transduction and investigated the effects of PAR-2 gene deficiency in disease models.In a
A sensitivity-based procedure to select representative fish species for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive indicator development, applied to the Greater North Sea
Harmonizing biodiversity assessments under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) at the pan-European level is a crucial task for the Regional Sea Conventions and EU Member States in the coming years, particularly for fish assessment in Descriptor 1 (biodiversity).Precondition for coherent fish assessments is the establishment of a regional
Simulating the Epidemiological and Economic Impact of Paratuberculosis Control Actions in Dairy Cattle
We describe a new mechanistic bio-economic model for simulating the spread of Mycobacterium avium ssp.paratuberculosis (MAP) within a dairy cattle herd.The model includes age-dependent susceptibility for infection; age-dependent sensitivity for detection; environmental MAP build-up in five Wall Decor separate areas of the farm; in utero infection;
T[SU(N)] duality webs: mirror symmetry, spectral duality and gauge/CFT correspondences
Abstract We study various duality webs involving Massagers the 3d FT[SU(N)] theory, a close relative of the T[SU(N)] quiver tail.We first map the partition functions of FT[SU(N)] and its 3d spectral dual to a pair of spectral dual q-Toda conformal blocks.Then we show how to obtain the FT[SU(N)] partition function by Higgsing a 5d linear quiver gaug
