Integrity of Narrow Epithelial Tubes in the C. elegans Excretory System Requires a Transient Luminal Matrix. by Hasreet K Gill, Jennifer D Cohen, Jesus Ayala-Figueroa, Rachel Forman-Rubinsky, Corey Poggioli, Kevin Bickard, Jean M Parry, Pu Pu, David H Hall, Meera V Sundaram

“…We were able to image the transient LET-653 matrix by both live confocal imaging and transmission electron microscopy. Structure/function and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching studies revealed that LET-653 exists in two separate luminal matrix pools, a loose fibrillar matrix in the central core of the lumen, to which it binds dynamically via its PAN domains, and an apical-membrane-associated matrix, to which it binds stably via its ZP domain. …”

Fogs Climatology in Central Ciscaucasia by Yu. L. Smerek, V. I. Volkova, M. V. Barekova, G. Kh. Badakhova

“…It is shown that the distribution of fogs over the territory of the Stavropol Krai has a complex character; there is no clear connection with the landscape structure. For most of the region, there is a certain similarity in the trends in changing the fog regime: decrease in the annual number of days with fog; reduction of the total annual duration of fogs; decrease in the proportion of fogs of the cold period in the annual number of days with fog; reduction in the share of fogs of the cold period in the total annual duration of fogs; decrease in the duration of one fog both on average per year and during the cold period.…”

A MODEL OF THE ENGLISH-UKRAINIAN SUB-CORPUS OF TEXTS OF NATO, UN AND WTO OFFICIAL AND BUSINESS DOCUMENTS by Yuliya I. Demyanchuk

“…This academic article offers a model of the English-Ukrainian sub-corpus of texts of official and business documents of NATO, UN, and WTO (hereinafter referred to as the EUS) as a supplement to the Ukrainian National Corpus (hereinafter referred to as the UNC), where texts are presented as a hierarchical structure. In an effort to provide a more comprehensive view of NATO, UN, and WTO official and business documents, a mechanism of use of our model envisages determination of the exact position of a text in all UNC corporas, what essentially simplifies the practical process of search and automated translation of texts and special terminology in particular. …”
