Authors: Battisti Anselmo , Quandt Carlos Olavo
Published: October 2018

A inovatividade e os resultados são cruciais para a sobrevivência das web startups, empresas de base tecnológica. A obtenção de capital para o seu financiamento não é simples. Os mecanismos tradicionais de financiamento exigem garantias que raramente podem ser satisfeitas por estas organizações. Com isso, meios alternativos de financiamento surgiram para dar suporte as startups.  Este trabalho visa investigar a relação existente entre a inovatividade, o financiamento e o resultado em startups. Esta pesquisa é correlacional-causal com corte transversal. A unidade de análise são startups brasileiras. Foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados questionário estruturado. A análise dos dados foi quantitativa utilizando análise fatorial. Alguns resultados obtidos são que no Brasil as startups estruturam seu capital primeiramente pelo autofinanciamento, em seguida com os modelos alternativos e por fim utilizam o financiamento tradicionais, observou-se também que a inovatividade afeta positivamente a obtenção recursos que por sua vez influencia o resultado.

O Problema da Indução sob a Ótica do Big Data: Um Ensaio a partir dos Argumentos do Filósofo Karl Popper
Authors: Lins Filho Marcos Luiz , De Sousa Neto Manoel Veras
Published: October 2018

A busca pelo conhecimento permanecerá sempre viva entre os seres humanos mantendo ativos os debates e as discussões. Nesse contexto, o uso de Big Data nas pesquisas científicas reacende a discussão sobre o uso da indução como base para a construção do conhecimento científico. Esse ensaio apresenta uma análise teórica acerca do problema da indução sob a ótica do Big Data. Para tanto, tomou-se como base para o contraponto os argumentos apresentados pelo filósofo Karl Popper. Conclui-se que, sob a ótica do uso de Big Data, o método indutivo não apresenta inconsistências e os enunciados universais podem ser inferidos a partir de enunciados singulares, contrariando a ideia de Popper e reforçando a teoria indutivista.

Electric Vehicle Driven by In-Wheel Motors
Authors: Jin LiQiang , Liu Yue , Li JianHua
Published: October 2018

In this paper, a method for reducing unspring mass as well as improving safety and ride properties of vehicles
driven by in-wheel motors will be provided. To begin with, the advantages of vehicles armed with in-wheel motors will be
described, after which some drawbacks of this idea will be studied. Then, to getting a better analysis, quarter car model
will be studied in frequency domain. Gain of body acceleration and wheel dynamic load, which can be equal to ride
property and safety performance respectively, will be compared. Finally, an idea that makes the drive motor suspend will
be proposed for enhancing the two properties and then a LQG controller will be provided for further optimization.
Through the comparison in time domain and frequency domain, one can come to a conclusion that vehicles driven by
suspended motors not only simplified the structures but also can be used as an absorber for vibration reduction.
Cone Beam CT-Based Preoperative Volumetric Estimation of Bone Graft Required for Lateral Window Sinus Augmentation, Compared with Intraoperative Findings: A Pilot Study
Authors: Abdel-Wahed Nagla'a A. , Bahammam Maha Ahmed
Published: October 2018

Introduction:

The presence of an atrophic maxilla creates a serious challenge in cases of implant placement, while maxillary sinus pneumatization further complicates the surgery. This pilot study was performed to investigate the validity of two techniques used to estimate the volumes of bone graft material required in cases that included lateral window sinus augmentation.

Materials and Methods:

Cone beam computed tomography was used for preoperative volumetric analysis of the maxillary sinus. The analysis was performed using the manual measurement of sinus dimensions, as well as automated measurements via the segmentation technique. The estimated volumes of required bone graft material were compared with actual intraoperative findings in cases requiring lateral window sinus augmentation. For this pilot study, only 5 patients were selected to be included.

Results:

To achieve 80% power and confidence interval of 95%, the sample size should be 35 patients. The correlation coefficient between the segmented volume and mm3 used was – 0.5332, whereas the coefficient between the manual volume and mm3 used was – 0.6784. Consequently, both results indicate that the two methods have a moderate negative correlation with the mm3 used.

Conclusion:

Performing a similar study with an increased number of patients, according to the calculated sample size, increases the possibility of revealing higher correlation between the methods used to analyze the partial volume of the sinus cavity. The estimated sinus volume of the area of augmentation, obtained by using either manual or segmentation techniques, could be considered as a maximum estimate for the required amount of graft material. Furthermore, the segmentation technique may be valuable in preoperative planning of sinus augmentation, as it reveals the topographic shape and morphology of the sinus.
Early Fire Smoke Image Segmentation in a Complex Large Space
Authors: Yan Hu , Huiqin Wang , Qian Zhao , Ying Lu
Published: October 2018

Aiming at the problem that the fire smoke image segmentation algorithm cannot obtain integral smoke information,
the adaptive background updating smoke foreground object extraction algorithm based on block segmentation is
proposed. According to the characteristics that the smoke internal pixels continuously roll in the heat of the driver and the
pixel concentration from near the fire source to edge decreases in turn, the method for different blocks using different difference
threshold is adopted to ensure the integrity of the extracted foreground target. Under the difference between the
current frame and the background frame, block difference thresholds are updated to let the differential threshold adjustment
with continuous adaptive monitoring. In the new weighted average updated background image corrected by the original
background image, the interference suspicious target edge pixels are removed. Simulation experimental results show
that the method is able to extract more complete information of smoke in a suspected area of the edge, and eliminate the
interference of light and pedestrian in complex space.

Published: October 2018

A modernização das universidades:  Memórias contra o tempoO discurso da modernização tomou conta das universidades, também em Portugal, sobretudo a partir dos anos 2006/2007. Na primeira parte destas minhas memórias, argumento que este discurso tem como base uma concepção urgente do tempo. Reside aqui o sucesso de conceitos e práticas que se definem num tempo curto: a empregabilidade, a excelência, a empresarialização, o empreendedorismo. Na segunda parte, defendo que não podemos fechar-nos num presente apressado que nos desvia da responsabilidade presente perante o futuro. A universidade tem de se pensar no tempo longo e lento que é necessário para uma educação de base científica e humanista, para o trabalho da ciência e da formação humana, para a participação democrática e para o exercício da responsabilidade pública.Palavras-chave: Modernização.

El Confesional en Carmeleño. Una ventana a la relación entre franciscanos e indios Rumsen en las misiones de California
Authors: De la Torre Curiel José Refugio
Published: October 2018

En 1770 fray Junípero Serra fundó la misión de San Carlos Borromeo, en las inmediaciones del presidio de Monterrey (hoy Monterey), en California. Al año siguiente, la misión fue trasladada a su ubicación definitiva en el río Carmelo, entre los indios Rumsen. Mediante la transcripción y análisis de un “Confesional en Carmeleño” preparado por un anónimo misionero del Colegio de San Fernando de México (posiblemente asociado a la época de fray Junípero Serra o Juan Crespi), el artículo da a conocer un valioso testimonio de una de las lenguas nativas de California según quedó registrada por los franciscanos a finales del siglo XVIII. Este manual es un texto bilingüe, castellano-rumsen, el cual además de su valor lingüístico y etnográfico ofrece algunas pistas sobre las formas en que los misioneros identificaban algunas prácticas culturales de la población local.
Does Reversible AF Exist? Or is AF Just AF?
Authors: Quon Michael , Pilote Louise
Published: October 2018

Self-limited or transient atrial fibrillation (AF) occurring during an acute reversible, precipitant has been referred to as secondary AF, temporary cause of AF (TCAF), and AF occurring transiently during stress (McIntyre et al).  Alternatively, it has been classified as either ‘reversible’ versus ‘provoked’ AF, varying in terms of underlying cardiac substrate and risk for AF recurrence.  Given it was described in prior American Heart Association / American College of Cardiology / Heart Rhythm Society guidelines, we continue using the defining term ‘secondary AF’.   In this article, we review prior studies and provide an overview of long-term management approaches to secondary AF.  We will use the term ‘primary AF’ to describe established AF, without an associated secondary cause.
What is the Latest on Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation?
Authors: Andrade Jason , Dyall Marc , Macle Laurent
Published: October 2018

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, affecting 1-2% of the general population. AF is associated with reductions in quality of life, functional status, cardiac performance, and survival. In addition, AF accounts for 1.0-2.7% of total annual healthcare expenditures, with a sizeable proportion of these expenses attributed to direct costs associated with emergency department visits and acute care hospitalisation.
Molecular and morphological study of the genus Senecio L. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) in Iran

Published: October 2018

The genus Senecio (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) with about 1250 species is one of
the largest genera in the family. Due to historical and present time
inter-specific hybridization and reticulate evolution in the genus, the
morphological and molecular phylogenetic evolution are disjunct. The genus
contains 17 species belonging to four sections, sect. Crociseris, sect.
Quadridentati, sect. Jacobaea and sect. Senecio, in Iran out of which, six
are endemic. Therefore, the present study was performed with the aim to
provide data on the above issues. In general, ISSR molecular markers could
delimit the studied Senecio species and revealed the species relationships,
but did not support any of the sections. The ITS and cp-DNA sequencing of
six species of S. iranicus, S. vulcanicus, S. kotschyanus, S. paulsenii
subsp. khorasanicus and S. joharchii were obtained for the first time.
S-DIVA suggests three possible ancestral ranges, of Kordestan (A),
Mazandaran (G), and West-Azarbayejan (D), for Sececio species in Iran. These
areas are located in the western parts of Iran. Mazandaran province played
important role in the speciation process that led to the formation of
endemic Sececio species in the country, while, Kordestan and
West-Azarbayejan are the main road for the entrance of Sececio species from
Europe via neighboring countries. The morphological characters used could
also delimit the four sections of the genus Senecio. However, ISSR, cp-DNA
and nuclear genes sequences-based phylogenetic trees portrayed the species
relationship much different from that of morphological dendrogram.

Published: October 2018

Gliadins, as the major components of wheat storage proteins, determine the
extensibility properties of dough and have important effects on flour
processing quality. Wheat related species carries potential storage protein
gene resources for quality improvement. In this study, we isolated and
characterized the first complete ?-gliadin gene Omega-AS from Aegilops
speltoides L. (2n = 2x = 14, SS) by allelic-specific PCR and investigated its
phylogenetic relationships among Triticum and Aegilopsspecies. Molecular
structure showed that Omega-AS gene consisted of 1122 bp encoding 373 amino
acid residues with deduced molecular mass 41379.21 Da. Omega-AS gene was
exceptionally rich in prolines and glutamines with fewer methionine and no
cysteine. Sequence characterization and epitope analysis showed that three
epitopes QQPIPVQPQQ, TQPQQPTPIQ and IQPQQPFPQQ were absent in Omega-AS gene
encoded protein, indicating its potential value for wheat quality
improvement with less toxic, or no toxic peptides. Phylogenetic analysis
revealed that Omega-AS was closely related to gliadin genes of wheat and
related species and its divergence from bread wheat was more recently (less
than 1.243 MYA). Heterologous expression showed that Omega-AS gene
could successfully express with a high level in E. coli under the control of
T7promoter. The transcription expression pattern of Omega-AS gene during
grain development detected by qRT-PCR revealed that the highest expression
level occurred at 17 days post an thesis.

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an annual, cool-season grain legume playing
an important role in human and animal nutrition, as soil fertility
maintenance. National lentil improvement program in Azerbaijan is currently
focused on extending the genetic base of the lentil collection through the
introduction of new breeding lines from ICARDA and involving them into
breeding. The present study was aimed to evaluate the performance of lentil
collection, mainly comprised of ICARDA-derived breeding lines for yield
traits under Azerbaijan condition and assess genetic diversity among them
using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. Many breeding lines of
ICARDA exhibited agro-morphological performance superior to those of the
local improved varieties. Our studies confirmed that the genetic base of the
studied lentil collection is quite above board. A total of 71 bands were
generated using 7 ISSR primers in 47 lentil genotypes, of which 62 were
polymorphic. Genetic diversity values varied from 0.61 (UBC 848) to 0.95
(UBC 835), with a mean of 0.81. ISSR dendrogram was able to clearly
distinguish all lentil accessions. Clear tendention was observed on
clustering of genotypes according to their pedigree or origin with few
exeptions. The results obtained from the Principal Coordinate Analysis were
consistent with the results of cluster analysis, with minor differences.
Breeding lines with high agronomic performance and sufficient genetic
distance from this study can be used as appropriate parents to get more
heterotic recombinants. This will accelerate the creation of new varieties
well adapted to eco-geographic condition of Azerbaijan with stable and high
yield.
Genetic finger printing of cotton cultivars by ISSR molecular markers
Authors: Farahani Farah , Sheidai Masoud , Koohdar Fahimeh
Published: October 2018

Gossypium hirsutum is one of the main tetraploid cotton species that is
cultivated throughout the world. Due to continuous selection of cotton
cultivars for specific agronomic traits, the genetic variability within the
cultivars decrease that lead to genetic erosion. To tackle the problem of
reduced genetic variability, we should track all available genetic diversity
within cotton germplasm and use them for inter-specific and intra-specific
hybridization and produce new elite cotton cultivars. Therefore, the present
study used ISSR molecular markers to illustrate genetic variability in 13
tetraploid cotton genotypes (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and to categorize these
genotypes based on genetic affinity. 65 cotton plants were studied. The
results identified private bands in the studied genotypes, while Network and
STRUCTURE analyses of molecular data obtained grouped the genotypes with
genetic affinity together. Some of the genotypes differed in their genetic
content from the others; therefore, studying the genetic and agronomic
variability within available cultivars is very important and produced data
to broaden the gene pool for planning further hybridization in cotton.

The effects of amygdalin as an herbal substance on prevention of cancer cells
proliferation it has been shown. Also, survivin gene is one of the important
genes on inhibition of apoptosis and controlling of the cell cycle in cancer
cell lines. For this purpose, the present study was undertaken for the first
time to evaluate the effects of amygdalin on survivin gene expression in
MCF-7 and HDF. The MCF-7 (Breast cancer cells) and normal HDF were treated by
different doses of amygdalin (0.5 to 10 mg/ml). Then, the MTT assay was done
on each cell groups on 24, 48, and 72 h after treatment. In each period time
the cells were detached and used for RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis.
Finally, the survivin gene expression in each cell groups was evaluated by
quantitative real-time PCR (q-RT-PCR) analysis. The MTT assay was showed that
5 mg/ml of amygdalin concentration at 48 hours after treatment it was
suitable for evaluation of this compound on MCF-7 and HDF cell lines. The
survey results of q-RT-PCR were showed in both amygdalin-treated MCF-7
(MCF-7+AMG) compare to the treated HDF (HDF-AMG as an control group) the
expression level of survivin gene were decreased but this reduction only in
MCF-7+AMG group was statistically significant (p <0.05). Our findings
indicated that amygdalin in particular; decrease the survivin mRNA in MCF-7
breast cancer cells compare to normal healthy cells and leads to apoptosis
and the death of cancer cells. It is suggested that in future study it must
be better the effects of amygdalin supplemented with surfactant investigate
against other cancer cells and evaluate the more molecular markers to specify
the anti-cancer activity potential of this herbal compound.

The Influence of the Type of Coating on the Cutting Tool Wear During Turning Of 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel
Authors: Maruda Radosław W. , Szczotkarz Natalia
Published: October 2018

The paper presents the influence of coatings applied with the use of PVD method on cutting tools on the wear of the tool and compares it with an uncoated P25 cemented carbide plate. During the experiment, two types of TiAlN coatings were used, applied in various proportions, as well as TiN coating. During the tests, the average width of the wear band on the flank face in B VBBzone and the width of KBcrater were monitored. Moreover, the scanning analysis of the tool was conducted in order to determine the intensity of adhesive wear. The lowest values of selected tool wear indicators were found out with the use of TiAlN coating applied in eight layers in the proportions 33/67% -TiN/TiAlN. The scanning analysis proved the highest adhesive wear of the uncoated P25 cemented carbide plate, as well as increased abrasive wear of the flank face and the formation of a crater in comparison with coated plates.
The Numerical Investigation of Thin-Walled Beams with Modified C-Sections
Authors: Grenda Michał
Published: October 2018

Demand for thin-walled structures has been increasing for many years. Cold- formed, thin-walled channel beams are the subject of presented research. The local elastic buckling and limit load of these beams subjected to pure bending are investigated. This study includes numerical investigation called the Finite Strip Method (FSM). The presented results give a deep insight into behaviour of such beams and may be used to validate analytical models. The number of works devoted to the theory of thin-walled structures has been steadily growing in recent years. It means that is an increasing interest in practical methods of manufacturing cold-formed thin-walled beams with complicated cross-sections, including also beams with web stiffeners. The ratio of transverse dimensions of beam to its wall-thickness is high, therefore, thin-walled beams are prone to local buckling that may interact with other buckling modes. The stability constraints should be always considered when using cold-formed thin-walled beams.

Authors: Bizņa Valentīna , Jurušs Māris , Laizāns Tālis , Šnikvalds Roberts
Published: October 2018

Though there are a number of data and studies about the impact of tax incentives on investment, research and development, no detailed and systematic analysis has been elaborated on the effectiveness of taxation of profit to the financial performance of businesses in general. Businesses avoid corporate income tax to get more net profit. Evasion leads to economic stagnation. It is time to call for changes of the corporate income tax system and introduce tax suspension - tax only shared profit. The aim of the research is to assess the impact of corporate income tax suspension on retained corporate income. The research extends applicable theoretical foundation and comprehension of elements and factors affecting firms’ behaviour. The results show that the corporate income tax reform would change capital structure of businesses and improve company’s sustainability. The findings also give grounds for the development of an applicable model that would help government authorities choose the most effective way of taxation of corporate income.
Elliptical Fourier Descriptors of Leaf Outlines: A Tool to Discriminate Among Aquilaria Species (Thymelaeaceae)
Authors: López-Sampson Arlene , Page Tony
Published: October 2018

Leaf shape analysis of three Aquilaria species was undertaken using Elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFD) within a research plan­ting in tropical Australia. This approach was taken to develop a method for discriminating the species in the absence of repro­ductive traits or genetic analysis and as a morphological scale of leaf variation. Leaf outlines were analysed to distinguish variability between species. Principal components analysis and canonical discriminant analysis were applied to group the spe­cies based on 25 Fourier descriptors. Four components were required to explain 78 % of the variance and the first and second canonical functions discriminated three groups of spe­cies therefore EFD was a useful approach for analysing leaf out­line variability and distinguish species in the genus Aquilaria. This approach provides a rapid method that could assist in the species identification in Aquilaria where reproductive traits are absent.

Human settlements have constantly provided to accommodate the wellbeing, security and the prosperity of their residents regarding plan and closeness of area to water, sustenance and other crucial assets. Safety and security have been critical issues all through history, from the early ancient period to medieval and present-day urban areas. In light of the populace development and quick urbanization that propels everywhere throughout the world, crime has turned out to be a standout amongst the most genuine social issues.  Regardless, this issue is as yet uncertain as crime rates far and wide continue heightening. Dealing with and diminishing the pessimistic impacts of crime on human life will provoke more conspicuous controls and further welcome more enthusiasm of both the general population and the Community. This exploration will talk about crime and economical design concerning man and its condition with a view to decreasing the effect it has on man and nature. Designers and other design experts should mull over the encompassing condition keeping in mind the end goal to lessen. The design of structures and the game plan public offices and other outside spaces can influence the chance of crime and the level of dread of crime.

Authors: KUJUNDZIC KOSARA , VUCKOVIC SLAVICA STAMATOVIC
Published: October 2018

Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor, Boka Bay, Montenegro, is well known for its exceptional beauty, evaluated by UNESCO. The unique universal value has been embodied in the cultural landscape: vernacular architecture harmonized with the cultivated terraced landscape on the slopes of high, rocky mountains. Kostanjica is an old settlement in Boka Bay, former fishermen village, recognized for valuable elements of the cultural landscape: chestnut tree and laurel forest, terraced gardens with arable land, fruit gardens, traditional architecture in stone: clusters of houses, piers and docks, pedestrian pathways, pavements, retaining walls, well-integrated in the autochthone Mediterranean vegetation. Since Montenegro has pronounced itself Ecological state in 1991, environmental protection has become the highest priority in all Sustainable Development agendas and policies. Furthermore, preservation of regional peculiarity and fostering distinctive identity of a place, is one of the crucial sustainable development goals. The ongoing development of tourist resort “Boka Gardens” in Kostanjica has revealed these harmful, unsustainable tendencies in Montenegro. On the grounds of investor’s urban planning and profit-driven architecture, the unique and valuable cultural landscape of Kostanjica has been devastated to the extent that Boka Bay’s UNESCO status has been jeopardized. The paper researches cause of this damaging phenomena, seeking for ways of overcoming profoundly harmful building practices, thus leading to a more efficient and sustainable urban development.

The VOC (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) was both the absolutist and the pacifier as it sought to colonize Sunda Kelapa through the displacement of the indigenous population, architecture, and regimen; the VOC was deployed catalyst to the marking of a golden era, roughly spanning the 17th century through which architecture, trade, science, and military boomed, marking Jakarta a resilient harbour to the world's finest trades. Batavia, modern-day Jakarta, welded a myriad of names, endorsing its irrefutable paramount; one of which, "Queen of the East", paraphrased an allusion to its urban beauty. Until its last derogatory stages, before the Dutch surrendered to the Japanese, the name Batavia ricocheted across the globe, as reverberation to its resilience, urban beauty, the varsity of cultures, and robust trade as the Dutch East India Company.

Machine Learning for Organic Cage Property Prediction
Authors: Turcani Lukas , Greenaway Rebecca L. , Jelfs Kim
Published: October 2018

We use machine learning to predict shape persistence and cavity size in porous organic cages. The majority of hypothetical organic cages suffer from a lack of shape persistence and as a result lack intrinsic porosity, rendering them unsuitable for many applications. We have created the largest computational database of these molecules to date, numbering 63,472 cages, formed through a range of reaction chemistries and in multiple topologies. We study our database and identify features which lead to the formation of shape persistent cages. We find that the imine condensation of trialdehydes and diamines in a [4+6] reaction is the most likely to result in shape persistent cages, whereas thiol reactions are most likely to give collapsed cages. Using this database, we develop machine learning models capable of predicting shape persistence with an accuracy of up to 93%, reducing the time taken to predict this property to milliseconds, and removing the need for specialist software. In addition, we develop machine learning models for two other key properties of these molecules, cavity size and symmetry. We provide open-source implementations of our models, together with the accompanying data sets, and an online tool giving users access to our models to easily obtain predictions for a hypothetical cage prior to a synthesis attempt.

Published: October 2018

We present in-situ neutron spin echo measurements on an entangled polydimethylsiloxane melt under shear and demonstrate the ability to monitor nano-scale dynamics in flowing liquids. We report no changes in the topological interactions of the chains for shear rates approaching the inverse longest relaxation time. Further experiments following along this line will allow to systematically test the predictions of theories, like e.g. convective constraint release.
Topological in vitro loading of the budding yeast cohesin ring onto DNA

The ring-shaped chromosomal cohesin complex holds sister chromatids together by topological embrace, a prerequisite for accurate chromosome segregation. Cohesin plays additional roles in genome organization, transcriptional regulation, and DNA repair. The cohesin ring includes an ABC family ATPase, but the molecular mechanism by which the ATPase contributes to cohesin function is not yet understood. In this study, we have purified budding yeast cohesin, as well as its Scc2–Scc4 cohesin loader complex, and biochemically reconstituted ATP-dependent topological cohesin loading onto DNA. Our results reproduce previous observations obtained using fission yeast cohesin, thereby establishing conserved aspects of cohesin behavior. Unexpectedly, we find that nonhydrolyzable ATP ground state mimetics ADP·BeF2, ADP·BeF3−, and ADP·AlFx, but not a hydrolysis transition state analog ADP·VO43−, support cohesin loading. The energy from nucleotide binding is sufficient to drive the DNA entry reaction into the cohesin ring. ATP hydrolysis, believed to be essential for in vivo cohesin loading, must serve a subsequent reaction step. These results provide molecular insights into cohesin function and open new experimental opportunities that the budding yeast model affords.

The contribution of the tumor microenvironment to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) development is currently unclear. We therefore examined the consequences of disrupting paracrine Hedgehog (HH) signaling in PDAC stroma. Herein, we show that ablation of the key HH signaling geneSmoothened(Smo) in stromal fibroblasts led to increased proliferation of pancreatic tumor cells. Furthermore,Smodeletion resulted in proteasomal degradation of the tumor suppressor PTEN and activation of oncogenic protein kinase B (AKT) in fibroblasts. An unbiased proteomic screen identified RNF5 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for degradation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) inSmo-null fibroblasts.Ring Finger Protein 5(Rnf5) knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSKβ), the kinase that marks PTEN for ubiquitination, rescued PTEN levels and reversed the oncogenic phenotype, identifying a new node of PTEN regulation. In PDAC patients, low stromal PTEN correlated with reduced overall survival. Mechanistically, PTEN loss decreased hydraulic permeability of the extracellular matrix, which was reversed by hyaluronidase treatment. These results define non-cell autonomous tumor-promoting mechanisms activated by disruption of the HH/PTEN axis and identifies new targets for restoring stromal tumor-suppressive functions.

Basis data merupakan hal penting dalam suatu sistem. Tanpa keberadaannya suatu sistem tidak akan mempunyai tempat penyimpanan informasi. SQL adalah salah satu contoh basis data yang banyak digunakan. Meskipun saat ini sudah mulai bergeser ke arah bentuk XML. Penggalian informasi adalah sangat penting. Yang dapat mempunyai informasi yang beragam. Tapi dalam beberapa basis data, informasi yang beragam tidak selalu dapat disajikan. Dalam web, khususnya semantic web, konsep XML lebih banyak digunakan. Semantic web menyajikan konsep dari web untuk masa depan, dimana informasi dapat diperoleh satu dengan lainnya, digunakan dan ditambahkan menggunakan URI. Hal ini merupakan konsep dasar dari RDF, berdasarkan suatu tempat referensi dalam dunia internet. RDQL adalah suatu query dalam RDF, yang konsepnya sama dengan basis data lainnya.
