The seasonal effect on the F2 sublayer critical frequency of ionosphere (foF2), during one-day-shock, at Ouagadougou station three solar cycles (20, 21, and 22) is examined in this work. It appears that summer has an tending to decrease values ​​of foF2 maximum, ascending descending phase. At cycle winter autumn do not modify amplitudes. minimum, decreases ​​in morning (08:00 a.m. 1:00 ...

There are many applications which arise in telecommunications information processing in which it is useful, and often necessary, to create and access multiple hypothetical states. These might correspond to future states reeecting pending updates (such as customer service orders), or hypothetical alternative states that would arise in the exploration of diierent solutions to a given problem. In ...

We report the identification of a novel human cytokine, distantly related to interleukin (IL)-10, which we term IL-22. IL-22 is produced by activated T cells. IL-22 is a ligand for CRF2-4, a member of the class II cytokine receptor family. No high affinity ligand has yet been reported for this receptor, although it has been reported to serve as a second component in IL-10 signaling. A new membe...

Murine genital tract infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae has previously been found to induce IL-17 which is important in both recruitment of neutrophils and prompt clearance of the infection. As IL-22 is another Th17-related cytokine that has been implicated in the immune responses in several infection models, we investigated its role in vaginal gonococcal infection of mice. Production of IL-2...

Maize exhibits a high degree of intraspecific variation in genome structure, most of which is due to intergenic retrotransposon polymorphsisms among unrelated varieties. For example, a comparison of eight haplotypes of the bronze1 (bz1) locus, which contains numerous retrotransposons, showed that sequence similarity between any two haplotypes ranged from 25 to 84% (Wang and Dooner, 2006). In th...
