Using a synthetic oligonucleotide primer complementary to human prostate‐specific antigen mRNA, we found that an additional sequence possibly similar glandular kallikrein‐1 could be read by primer‐extension sequencing technique. We were able confirm the identity of with another specific region mRNA sequence. Northern blot analysis 2 probes respectively for and mRNAs showed length both was at 1.5 kb. The level relative estimated as approx. 10–20%. This study constitutes first evidence gene is...
There is a clinical need for functional tissue-engineered blood vessel because small-caliber arterial graft (<5 mm) applications are limited by the availability of suitable autologous vessels and suboptimal performances synthetic grafts. This study presents an analysis mechanical properties vascular constructs produced using novel single-step self-assembly approach. Briefly, media were culturing smooth muscle cell in presence sodium l-ascorbate until formation cohesive tissue sheet. sheet...
Our work was undertaken to compare the relative efficiency of 2 purified prostatic kallikreins, namely, hK2 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA or hK3), in activation single-chain urokinase (scuPA). We found that converts scuPA into an active enzyme with equal approximately 1/50 plasmin. During by hK2, two fragments 33 22 kDa were generated. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence fragment showed cleaved between Lys158 Ile159. In contrast a previous report another group, our hK3 preparation...
Recent ready access to free software and toolbox applications is directly impacting spatial econometric modelling when working with geolocated data. Spatial models are valuable tools for taking into account the possible latent structure of price determination process ensuring that coefficients estimated unbiased efficient. However, mechanical can potentially bias if data pooled over time because consider dimension alone. neglect fact (e.g. real estate) may consist a collection time,...
Dubé J. and Polèse M. Resilience revisited: assessing the impact of 2007–09 recession on 83 Canadian regions with accompanying thoughts an elusive concept, Regional Studies. Viewing as exogenous shock, paper proposes assessment 'resilience' using four standard metrics: population, employment, unemployment employment rates. For each metric, are evaluated three posited dimensions 'resilience': resistance, rebound recuperation. The results point to generally responsive regional economies a...
This work was undertaken to determine the identity of major androgen‐dependent 15,000 molecular weight protein previously observed on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis both dog prostate cytosol and seminal plasma. The identified as one two chains arginine esterase basis its ability bind 3 H‐diisopropylphosphofluoridate (DFP), an active site titrant serine proteases. Furthermore, since other polypeptide chain heterogeneous, at least five distinct peaks activity could be separated by...
In addition to other known markers of the human prostate, it was shown that prostatic fraction split ejaculate rich in a 16‐kDa protein with properties not described previously. This purified from seminal plasma using ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE‐Sepharose CL‐6B ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephadex G‐100. The showed single prominent spot two‐dimensional electrophoresis. sequence first 40 amino acids could be positively identified identical secretory 94 (PSP94)...
The recent surge in populist movements sweeping many countries has brought into focus the issue of regional inequality. In this article, we develop a panel data set for Canada that includes information on 284 regions observed at 5-year intervals (from 1981 to 2011) and estimate series spatial econometric models study causes consequences Our results draw attention fact rise inequality national level been accompanied by greater cross-regional Differences economic development, precariousness...
Many empirical applications aim to isolate the impact of implementing new public transport on real estate uplift value. While their conclusions generally point positive impact, due reduction in transportation cost, methodological framework investigate value has largely evolved over time. This paper reviews different challenges measuring causal and proposes an adjusted parametric approach inspired from Alonso-Muth-Mills model, returning a complex 2-D price premium function allowing for...
The precursor to a seminal plasma protein reported have inhibin-like activity was characterized through cDNA cloning and sequencing. It is 114-amino-acid polypeptide which differs from its derivative mainly by the presence of 20-residue amino-terminal extension, putative signal sequence, carrying possible N-glycosylation site. specified single gene per haploid genome. Its mRNA detectable in prostate but not testis, suggests that it primarily prostatic secretory protein.
This paper draws on location theories to statistically identify the relationship between of individual business establishments and characterization their local economic environment. Taking a micro-spatial perspective, develops indicators from distance-based measures (DBM) serve as independent variables in discrete choice model (DCM). Using 2006 database Lower-St-Lawrence region—a coherent, nonmetropolitan subsystem cities province Québec, Canada—we provide an empirical analysis determinants...
This study aims to explore how public amenities, such as school location, commercial centers, health highways, and distance the central business district (CBD) shape development of a metropolitan area. To do so, case based on Québec Metropolitan Region (QMR-Canada) is proposed. Using Landsat satellite images from 1986 2022, research employs Random Forest Classification algorithm, leveraging features like Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Modified Built-up (MBI) map quantify...
