Rat superficial masseter operates at long lengths during biting

Scientific Reports
The operating length ranges of mammalian jaw muscles have been estimated using twitch contractions or force measurements at the bite point, prompting a consensus that jaw muscles operate at short lengths on their force-length (FL) curve.

Length-weight relationships of marine fishes from the central Brazilian coast [PDF]

, 2004
Parameters of the length-weight relationship are presented for 85 fish species from the marine and estuarine regions of the central Brazilian coast (latitude 13° to 23° S). Three different methods were used. A non-linear iterative process using the quasi-

Information content versus word length in random typing [PDF]

, 2011
Recently, it has been claimed that a linear relationship between a measure of information content and word length is expected from word length optimization and it has been shown that this linearity is supported by a strong correlation between information

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

The relationship of protein conservation and sequence length

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2002
Background In general, the length of a protein sequence is determined by its function and the wide variance in the lengths of an organism's proteins reflects the diversity of specific functional roles for these proteins.

Length-weight relationship and organ indices of pond raised and wild population of C. gariepinus (Burchell 1822) pisces-Claridae [PDF]

, 1999
Samples of C. gariepinus collected from the wild and cultured populations in Plateau and Niger States of Nigeria were analyzed for length-weight relationship and organ indices (Gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), renalsomatic index (RSI)

The Bond-Energy Bond-Order (BEBO) Model of Chemisorption [PDF]

, 1973
The bond-energy bond-order (BEBO) model of chemisorption allows an estimate to be made of the interaction energy between a gaseous specie and a solid surface as a function of either bond length or bond order, i.e., the length or order of either the gas ...

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.
