The linker histones (H1 or H5) which play a key role in the folding of chromatin, are general repressors of gene expression. Nuclei of the mature chicken erythrocytes (and in some mammalian cells) contain both of them. Although the interaction of H5 with DNA is stronger than that of H1, it does not prevent the transcription of some erythroid-specific genes. It has been shown that some modificat...

Background: The use of daylight in offices has become an effective strategy to improve the quality of indoor space and energy efficiency. There is enough potential to have daylight autonomy in Kerman as a city with more than 300 sunny days a year. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between facades configuration and the amount of daylight in office buildings of Kerman. ...

introduction: better use of water and soil resources in paddy fields, increase in rice production and farmer's income, installation of subsurface drainage system is necessary. the main goalof these systems, are aeration conditions improvement prevention of water logging, yield increase, land use increase and multiuse of the land. in different countries, installation of subsurface drainage cause...

abstractthe aim of this study was to determine the ecology of the ostracoda species in the sediments collected from the erdek bay and to observe the relationship between ecological parameters with the number of ostracoda species and individual numbers. sediment and water samples have been collected seasonally from 8 stations of the study area from six different depths (0.3; 1; 5; 10; 20; 30 m)....

this study examined the spawning characteristics and distribution of mullus barbatus and upeneus moluccensis in babadillimani bight, in the northeastern mediterranean (near mersin, turkey) between of may 1999 and april 2000. sampling was carried out monthly at depths of 0-50 m, 50-100 m and >100 m using commercial trawl net mesh size 22 mm knot to knot. the results showed no difference between ...

Protistan community structure was examined from 6 depths (1.5, 20, 42, 150, 500, 880 m) at a coastal ocean site in the San Pedro Channel, California. A total of 856 partial length 18S rDNA protistan sequences from the six clone libraries were analyzed to characterize diversity present at each depth. The sequences were grouped into a total of 259 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) that were infe...

Abstract. The sub-Antarctic is one of the most data-sparse regions on earth. A number glaciated Antarctic and islands have potential to provide unique ice core records past climate, atmospheric circulation, sea ice. However, very little known about glaciology these remote or their vulnerability warming temperature. Here we present melt histories density profiles from shallow (firn) cores (14 24...

Two SISO technology threads are associated with the general area of C2-Simulation Interoperability: the Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL) and the Coalition Battle Management Language (C-BML). The two have been developed independently since 2005, with the understanding that, for full effectiveness, they must operate together. Previous papers by various by ourselves and other authors h...

NATO MSG-085 was chartered to "Investigate approaches for the deployment of Coalition BML capabilities complementing existing operational C2 system exchange mechanisms." A recognized capability needed to achieve this is a functional NATO Operations Order (OPORD) for the Battle Management Language (BML). GMU has developed a schema for a NATO OPORD, based on our earlier work with an Army OPORD fo...

the current study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effects of pressurized and furrow irrigation methods on the distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study design was a split plot layout with three irrigation method including furrow, surface drip (sd) and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) using two water qualities, municipal effluent (0.509 ds/m...
