Ypt/Rab GTPases form the largest branch of the Ras-related small GTPase superfamily and regulate intracellular membrane trafficking in all eukaryotes. Since their discovery over two decades ago a wealth of information has accumulated about the roles that Ypt/Rab proteins play in vesicular transport steps including vesicle budding movement and fusion. In recent years Ypt/Rab GTPases and membrane trafficking have been discovered to play an impo Read More

Radiation Processes In Crystal Solid Solutions is a monograph explaining processes occurring in two classes of crystal solids (metal alloys and doped alkali halides) under irradiation by various types of radiation (alpha beta gamma X-radiations ions). While metal alloys may differ in high radiation stability solid solutions based on alkali halides are very radiation-sensitive materials. Radiation defect production mechanisms intrinsic and extrinsic radiation de Read More

Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is an acute cardiovascular condition that is normally associated with genetic conditions such as Marfan Syndrome but it can also occur in patients with no known predisposing risk factors. TAAD is associated with extremely high mortality (over 20% of documented cases in medical literature) if not addressed on time. Surgical management of TAAAD also varies tremendously depending on the causative pathology. Tec Read More

Recent molecular studies have revealed an overwhelming role of hemolymph proteins and functional peptides in invertebrate physiology. This is mainly due to the large assortment of biomolecular factors each with a different structure and function. In addition there is a multitude of genes encoding for hemolymph proteins and functional peptides. Hemolymph proteins and functional peptides: Recent Advances in Insects and other Arthropods eluci Read More

Introduction: Mathematicians and statisticians have made significant academic progress on the subject of distribution theory in the last two decades and this area of study is becoming one of the main statistical tools for the analysis of lifetime (survival) data. In many ways lifetime distributions are the common language of survival dialogue because the framework subsumes many statistical properties of interest such as reliability entropy and maximum lik Read More

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 14 diseases that are occurring exclusively in tropical areas. Most of these diseases are infectious and mainly affect poor populations. Some of these diseases include malaria dengue fever leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. Therefore an acute need for increasing the arsenal of drugs is required to fight against these neglected diseases for the guaranteed recovery and relief of many patients. This Read More
