The Use of Composite GOES-R Satellite Imagery to Evaluate a TC Intensity and Vortex Structure Forecast by an FV3GFS-Based Hurricane Forecast Model

The HAFS model is an effort under the NGGPS and UFS initiatives to create the next generation of hurricane prediction and analysis system based on FV3-GFS.It has been validated extensively using traditional verification indicators such as tracker error and biases, intensity error and biases, and the radii of gale, damaging and hurricane strength wi

Differentiation-inducing effect of piperitenone oxide, a fragrant ingredient of spearmint (Mentha spicata), but not carvone and menthol, against human colon cancer cells

The n-hexane extract from spearmint (Mentha spicata) Blocker leaves was purified via a bioassay-guided fractionation scheme, which was based on the induction of differentiation in a RCM-1 human colon cancer cell line.One of the criteria of a differentiation marker is the formation of ducts determined visually using phase contrast microscopy, the mo

Comparative study of the binding pockets of mammalian proprotein convertases and its implications for the design of specific small molecule inhibitors

Proprotein convertases are enzymes Books that proteolytically cleave protein precursors in the secretory pathway to yield functional proteins.Seven mammalian subtilisin/Kex2p-like proprotein convertases have been identified: furin, PC1, PC2, PC4, PACE4, PC5 and PC7.The binding pockets of all seven proprotein convertases are evolutionarily conserved

Variations of early postmortem pH in carcasses of grass-fed steers and its relationship with glycolytic potential and meat quality traits

This study aimed to investigate the multivariate relationship between the glycolytic potential, and meat quality traits from grass-fed steers carcasses with variations in early postmortem pH.From a contemporary group of steers (n=70) from the same production unit and slaughtered under similar conditions, thirty carcasses (10/group) were selected ba
