p19Arf suppresses growth, progression, and metastasis of Hras-driven carcinomas through p53-dependent and -independent pathways. by Karen S Kelly-Spratt, Kay E Gurley, Yutaka Yasui, Christopher J Kemp

“…Malignant conversion of papillomas to squamous cell carcinomas, as well as metastasis to lymph nodes and lungs, was markedly accelerated in both p19 (Arf)- and p53-deficient mice. Thus, p19(Arf) inhibits the growth rate of tumors in a p53-independent manner. …”

Preparatory Switches of Auditory Spatial and Non-Spatial Attention Among Simultaneous Voices by Aureliu Lavric, Elisa Schmied

“…Preparation reduced the switch cost in both spatial-and gender-cueing conditions. Performance was better when each voice was heard on the same side as on the preceding trial, suggesting ‘binding’ of non-spatial and spatial voice features – but this did not materially influence the reduction in switch cost with preparation, indicating that preparatory attentional shifts can be effective within a single (task-relevant) dimension. …”

Structure-activity relationship and in silico docking analysis of dicarboximide fungicides on 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 of human, rat, and pig by Huiqian Chen, Sailing Chen, Yunbing Tang, Yingfen Ying, Shaowei Wang, Yang Zhu, Yiyan Wang, Ren-shan Ge, Ping Duan

“…Among them, captan showed the strongest potency, with its IC50 of 1.28 μM, whereas procymidone had an IC50 of 100.71 μM. However, both rat and pig 17β-HSD1 enzymes were less sensitive to the inhibition of these fungicides compared to the human enzyme, with captan displaying an IC50 of 5.65 μM for the rat enzyme and 7.36 μM for the pig enzyme. …”

THE PREFERENCE OF FOREIGN-BASED (MIGRANT) PLAYERS OVER HOME-BASED PLAYERS IN THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA: A COLORATION OF ‘COLONIAL MENTALITY’ by JOSEPH OKECHUKWU NWOKE

“…However,when it was time for the final list to be drawn there might not be any home-based players in the list or there might be an insignificant number that might end up not playing in such competition.There has been a lot of talk on the preference of foreign-based players over home-based players in the Super Eagles team.Hence, this study analyses the rate of selection in terms of percentage of home-based and foreign-based players in the Super Eagles team by some selected foreign and Nigerian coaches.The Hamitic hypothesis of Seligman is applied to show the nexus to the preference for foreign-based players.This study makes use of   primary and tertiary sources of data.Findings reveal that not only foreign coaches solely relied on foreign-based players, as some Nigerian coaches were equally masterminds of the unpatriotic act. …”
