The influence of metabolic hormones on lactation by Rostom, H

“…My work showed that GH signals through the Janus kinase 2 (Jak2)- signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) pathway, while transcriptomic evaluation of GH-treated HC11 cells demonstrated that GH promotes synthesis of milk proteins and proteins associated with lipid synthesis. GH is therefore likely to augment the milk-synthesising actions of prolactin at lactation onset.…”

“…PASC has highly variable clinical presentations, and likely includes multiple molecular subtypes, but it remains poorly understood from a molecular and mechanistic standpoint. …”

Taxonomic significance of pollen, anatomical and morphological characteristics of red and green leaves Christia vespertilionis (L.f.) Bakh. f. (Fabaceae) by Talip, Noraini, Che Amri, Che Nurul Aini, Abdul Rahman, Mohamad Ruzi, Ahmad Juhari, Muhammad Amirul Aiman, Ghazalli, Mohd. Norfaizal, Zohari, Ahmad Fitri, Bunawan, Hamidun

“…In conclusion, this study proves that green and red leafy C. vespertilionis are likely different species, subspecies or varieties and accordingly a status study should be done on both green and red leafy to see their taxonomic position.…”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…However, due to the increased video data compared to conventional single-view video, efficient coding format and joint bit rate allocation among multiple stereo videos on bandwidth limited transmission links are still challenging problems. A scalable coding scheme for stereo video is first designed such that regulating output bit rate of each video to match the allocated bandwidth can be achieved by simple bitstream extraction. …”
