Lack of Fetuin-A ( 2-HS-Glycoprotein) Reduces Mammary Tumor Incidence and Prolongs Tumor Latency via the Transforming Growth Factor-Signaling Pathway in a Mouse Model of Breast Cancer
(2015-10-21)
The present analyses were done to define the role of
fetuin-A (Fet) in mammary tumorigenesis using the
polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) transgenic mouse
model. We crossed Fet-null mice in the C57BL/6 background
with ...

Alternative Multipole Expansion of the Electron Correlati on Term
(arXiv.org, 2017)
An alternative multipole expansion of the correlation term is derived. Modified spherical Bessel type functions which simplify as a summation of multiple ord
ers of basic trigonometric functions are generated from this ...
SMS Enhanced Justice: Towards Efficiency and Convenience in Court Cases
