Site-2 proteases (S2P) belong to the M50 family of metalloproteases, which typically perform essential roles by mediating activation of membrane-bound transcription factors through regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP).Protease-dependent liberation of dormant transcription factors triggers diverse cellular responses, such as sterol regulation,
Adoption of Digital Aerial Photogrammetry in Forest Planning: A Case Study of Canavese Forestry Consortium, NW Italy with Technical and Economic Issues
The forestry sector has been significantly affected by the recent advances in geomatics.Photogrammetric aerial acquisitions provide full coverage of forests, making possible a wall-to-wall mapping of the main forestry key variables, such as tree height and tree density, needed for forest planning and management purposes.This work summarizes the rol
Increased meaningful activity while social distancing dampens affectivity; mere busyness heightens it: Implications for well-being during COVID-19.
Social distancing measures have been implemented in many countries to limit the spread of COVID-19.Emerging literature reveals that fear of acquiring COVID-19 has detrimental psychological ramifications.However, it seems likely that social distancing will have a further negative impact on well-being.The focus of this study was therefore to investig
Development of Kinematic 3D Laser Scanning System for Indoor Mapping and As-Built BIM Using Constrained SLAM
The growing interest and use of indoor mapping is driving a demand for improved data-acquisition facility, efficiency and productivity in the era of the Building Information Model (BIM).The conventional static laser scanning method suffers from some limitations on its operability in complex indoor environments, due to the presence of occlusions.Ful
