Abstract The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) hemi procharger of insects is considered an equivalent of the mammalian hormone glucagon as it induces fast mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from the fat body upon starvation.Yet, in foraging honey bees, which lack fat body storage for carbohydrates, it was suggested that AKH may have lost its origina
Technetium (Tc)-99m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon-emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) is now being used increasingly for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas.Tc-99m-MIBI scintigraphy in a 52-year-old man with a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism revealed two focal areas with retention of r
The assumption of frictionless markets has long been debated, drawing interest from scholars and practitioners alike.Market liquidity is a central theme in this regard; it is traditionally assessed through transaction cybst.us costs, volume, price-based, and market-impact measures.In contrast, the Fractal Market Hypothesis (FMH) suggests that liqui
A force balanced generalized molecular fractionation with conjugate caps (FB-GMFCC) method is proposed for ab initio molecular dynamic simulation of proteins.In this approach, the energy of the protein is computed by a linear combination of the QM energies of individual residues and molecular fragments that account for the two-body interaction of h
