Compromises

The majority of ready-to-wear shoes available in Australia are currently made in South-East Asian countries, mimicking current fashion styles, but compromising on quality to reduce cost for the Western market. It can be a challenge for women to purchase a suitable pair of dress shoes that is visually pleasing, functional and appropriate for a work environment. This research project investigated the availability of suitable dress footwear for working women within the Australian market.

While it is recognised that knitted fabrics may have their place in firefighting PPC, especially for undergarments, from the point of view of fire performance, strength and presentation, woven fabric constructions appear to be more suitable for work wear applications. Hence, this study is concerned with developing and testing a range of functional, woven Station Wear fabrics designed to enhance flame protection, durability and thermo-physiological comfort properties. In trying to improve all three aspects, a compromise in the properties of fabrics developed would be very likely.

Traditional analyses of the control and regulation of steady-state concentrations and fluxes assume the activities of the enzymes to be constant. In living cells, a hierar-chical control structure connects metabolic pathways to signal-transduction and gene-expression. Consequently, enzyme activities are not generally constant. This would seem to compromise analyses of control and regulation at the metabolic level.

To investigate the mechanism of increased expression of caspase-1 caused by exogenousHippi, observed earlier in HeLa and Neuro2A cells, in this work we identified a specific motif AAAGACATG ()101 to)93) at the caspase-1 gene upstream sequence where HIPPI could bind. Various muta-tions in this specific sequence compromised the interaction, showing the specificity of the interactions.

Aging is accompanied by gradual cellular dysfunction associated with an accumulation of damaged proteins, particularly via oxidative processes. This cellular dysfunction has been attributed, at least in part, to impair-ment of mitochondrial function as this organelle is both a major source of oxidants and a target for their damaging effects, which can result in a reduction of energy production, thereby compromising cell function.

There is growing concern about the safety of engineered nanoparticles, which are produced for various industrial applications. Quantum dots are colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles that have unique luminescence char-acteristics and the potential to become attractive tools for medical imaging. However, some of these particles can cause oxidative stress and induce cell death.

Security Attack: Any action that compromises the security of information. Security Mechanism: A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. Security Service: A service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms.

Elevated cell death in human preimplantation embryos is one of the cellu-lar events compromising pregnancy rates after assisted reproductive tech-nology treatments. We therefore explored the molecular pathways regulating cell death at the blastocyst stage in human embryos cultured in vitro. Owing to limited availability of human embryos, these pathways were further characterized in mouse blastocysts.

Whether your screener scalps, removes fines, or grades material, the machine’s failure can have costly consequences. A torn or otherwise compromised screen can force you to reprocess material, scrap it, or even recall off-spec product. This article will present some of the common causes of such screen problems and possible solutions

The treatment of AIDS remains a serious challenge owing to high genetic variation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1). The use of different antiretroviral drugs (ARV) is significantly limited by severe side-effects that further compromise the quality of life of the AIDS patient. In the present study, we have evaluated a liposome system for the delivery of nevirapine, a hydrophobic non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Liposomes were prepared from egg phospholipids using thin film hydration.

Từ điển Webster’s New World định nghĩa thỏa hiệp (compromise) là “một sự dàn xếp mà ở đó mỗi bên từ bỏ một số yêu cầu của mình hoặc nhượng bộ bên kia”. Thật không may, thỏa hiệp đã trở thành một thuật ngữ mang ý nghĩa xấu, một điều gì đó tương tự như sự phản bội. Trên thực tế, thỏa hiệp có nghĩa là giải quyết vấn đề, hoặc như từ điển Webster giải thích ở nghĩa thứ hai, “một sự điều chỉnh những nguyên tắc trái ngược nhau”. Vì một sự thỏa hiệp như thế là cần...

The World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as the leading lending agencies, have been under mounting pressure to deal with a wide range of debt sustainability challenges. The challenges have refused to subside. Instead they continue to stimulate urgent need for a new debt sustainability framework and debt management orientation that can allow for the borrowing economies to break the vicious circle of unending distress.
