To examine the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanase in control and diseased human articular cartilage, metabolic fragments of aggrecan were detected with monospecific antipeptide antibodies. The distribution and quantity of MMP-generated aggrecan G1 fragments terminating in VDIPEN341 were compared with the distribution of aggrecanase-generated G1 fragments terminating in NI
Abstract: Administrative regions do not necessarily correspond to areas that are homogenous in terms of innovation intensity. Although this has been recognized in the literature, quantitative evidence that explicitly considers this problem is rare. Using spatial exploratory analysis on detailed regional data derived from a census of R&D performers in the Czech Republic, we identify local spati

Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. According to the author, this has created a rather skewed pictu
Nearly US$25 trillion is currently invested through Collective Investment Vehicles (hereinafter: “CIVs”) worldwide. CIVs calculate net asset values (hereinafter: “NAV”) on a daily basis, since such values are the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. In calculating net asset values, a CIV must take into consideration any withholding tax benefits by applicable tax treaties. CIVs require certaint

In this paper I analyze the strategy through a perspective that is critical to power structures. The analysis is based on the question of how a subordinated minority is portrayed within a majority society. The purpose is to demonstrate how powe
