NLTE Spectral Analysis of GW Vir Pulsators

GW Vir variables are the pulsating members in the spectroscopic class of the PG 1159 stars. In order to understand the characteristic differences between pulsating and non-pulsating PG1159 stars, we analyse FUSE spectra of eleven objects, of which six are pulsating, by means of state-of-the-art NLTE model atmospheres. The numerous metal lines in the FUV spectra of these stars allow a precise de...

Efficient vir gene induction in Agrobacterium tumefaciens requires virA, virG, and vir box from the same Ti plasmid.

The vir genes of octopine, nopaline, and L,L-succinamopine Ti plasmids exhibit structural and functional similarities. However, we observed differences in the interactions between octopine and nopaline vir components. The induction of an octopine virE(A6)::lacZ fusion (pSM358cd) was 2.3-fold higher in an octopine strain (A348) than in a nopaline strain (C58). Supplementation of the octopine vir...

Methyl parathion comes inside.

Research Public health scientists are increasingly discovering that the recent emergence or re-emergence of infectious diseases has an origin in environmental change (McMichael and Martens 2002; Morse 1995; Patz et al. 2000). These environmental changes encompass social processes such as urbanization and creation of transportation infrastructure, as well as eco-logic processes such as land and ...

Glyceroneogenesis comes of age.

Glyceroneogenesis is a generally ignored metabolic pathway that occurs in adipose tissues and liver of mammalian species. This short review highlights a series of recent discoveries showing that glyceroneogenesis is important in lipid homeostasis.
