This document reviews the environmental fate of diuron. The chemical (IUPAC) name for diuron is N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-N, N-dimethylurea (C9H10Cl2N2O). In California, registered products containing the active ingredient diuron include Direx, Karmex, and Krovar (in combination with bromacil), among others. Diuron is often used in combination with other herbicides such as bromacil, hexazinone, p...

Background The 7S vicilin-like seed storage globulins represent an important class of food allergens. In many plants, the 7S globulins are synthesized as a precursor polypeptide, which undergoes post-translational proteolysis to remove a portion of the N-terminus to produce the mature protein sequence. However, the fate of the cleaved N-terminal region is largely unknown. We have identified and...

We discuss the fate of the Z2 symmetry and the vacuum structure in an SU(N)×SU(N) gauge theory with one bifundamental Dirac fermion. This theory can be obtained from SU(2N) supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theory by virtue of Z2 orbifolding. We analyze dynamics of domain walls and argue that the Z2 symmetry is spontaneously broken. Since unbroken Z2 is a necessary condition for nonperturbative p...

based on the randic suggestion of the resolution of a structure into shape, size, and function an index representing structure-catabolic fate relationships of amino acids is constructed. the index obtained by multiplying three factors; (nb2 + nr), nc and m; representing shape, size and function respectively, where nb2 = number of double bonds, nr = number of rings, nc = number of carbon atoms, ...

Although previous studies have shown that virtually the entire carbon skeleton of dietary glutamate (glutamate-C) is metabolized in the gut for energy production and amino acid synthesis, little is known regarding the fate of dietary glutamate nitrogen (glutamate-N). In this study, we hypothesized that dietary glutamate-N is an effective nitrogen source for amino acid synthesis and investigated...

Investigating the mechanisms controlling the asymmetric division of neocortical progenitors that generate neurones in the mammalian brain is crucial for understanding the abnormalities of cortical development. Partitioning of fate determinants is a key instructive step and components of the apical junctional complex (adherens junctions), including the polarity proteins PAR3 and aPKC as well as ...
