since anethum graveolens (dill) has phytoestrogenic compounds and it is proven that estrogens exert beneficial effects on cognition; the aim of this study was to understand if this plant can improve memory performance. male balb/c mice weighing 25-30 g were used in this study and memory was assessed by the novel object recognition task. in this method, the difference in the exploration time bet...

The sequence of DNA base pairs adjacent to the phosphodiester bonds cleaved by the RI restriction endonuclease in unmodified DNA from coliphage lambda has been determined. The 5'-terminal nucleotide labeled with (32)P and oligonucleotides up to the heptamer were analyzed from a pancreatic DNase digest. The following sequence of nucleotides adjacent to the RI break made in lambda DNA was deduced...

The high affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (Fc epsilon RI) and the B and T cell antigen receptors (TCR) are multimeric complexes containing subunits with cytoplasmic antigen recognition activation motifs (ARAMs). The presence of multiple motifs may be a way to amplify a single signal or provide independent activation modules. Here we have compared the signaling capacity of the same Fc epsilon ...

Inference using di erence-in-di erences with clustered data requires care. Previous research has shown that, when there are few treated clusters, t tests based on a clusterrobust variance estimator (CRVE) severely over-reject, di erent variants of the wild cluster bootstrap can over-reject or under-reject dramatically, and procedures based on randomization inference show promise. We demonstrate...

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) epithelial anion channel is a large multidomain membrane protein that matures inefficiently during biosynthesis. Its assembly is further perturbed by the deletion of F508 from the first nucleotide-binding domain (NBD1) responsible for most cystic fibrosis. The mutant polypeptide is recognized by cellular quality control systems and ...

We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Comment of Bence et al. (2000) regarding the suitability of the new geochemical parameter we have introduced. Part of their comment, however, addresses issues either not directly related to our paper, or issues published elsewhere. The lengthy comment seems a disproportionate reaction to what was a paper of limited scope, simply introducing one new g...

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) databases are employed to examine the large-scale characteristics of rapidly intensifying Atlantic basin tropical cyclones. In this study, rapid intensification (RI) is defined as approximately the 95th percentile of over-water 24-h intensity changes of Atlantic basin tropical cyclones that develop...

In this work, 19 newly introduced and some traditional apricot cultivars were evaluated by 20 phenological agronomical traits fruit quality attributes. The results showed a wide variation in data, tree vigour (TCSA), productivity [yield per tree, cumulative yield (CY) efficiency (YE)], attributes such as stone weight, flesh/stone ratio, dimensions, size, shape index, soluble solids content (SSC...
