OLIGOSACCHARIDE SUBSTRATE PREFERENCES OF HUMAN EXTRACELLULAR SULFATASE SULF2 USING LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY BASED GLYCOMICS APPROACHES.

Oligosaccharide substrate preferences of human extracellular sulfatase Sulf2 using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry based glycomics approaches.

Sulfs are extracellular endosulfatases that selectively remove the 6-O-sulfate groups from cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) chain.By altering the sulfation at these particular sites, Sulfs function to remodel HS chains.As a result of the remodeling activity, HSulf2 regulates a multitude of cell-signaling events that depend on interactions between

PCA-Based Robust Motion Data Recovery

Human motion tracking is a prevalent technique in many fields.A common difficulty encountered in motion tracking is the corrupted data is caused by detachment of markers in 3D motion data or occlusion in 2D tracking data.Most methods for missing markers problem may quickly become ineffective when gaps exist in the trajectories of multiple markers f

Impact of a radio-frequency identification system and information interchange on clearance processes for cargo at border posts

Background: Improved operational efficiency is important to role players in cross-border logistics and trade corridors.Cargo owners and cargo forwarders have been particularly concerned about long delays in the processing and clearing of cargo at border posts.Field studies suggest that these delays are due to a combination of factors, such as a lac
