A 1312 bp 5' flanking region of Salicornia europaea choline monooxygenase (SeCMO) gene was isolated using the anchored PCR. To investigate the mechanism of regulation for this stress-induced gene, the SeCMO promoter-beta-glucuronidase (GUS) chimeric gene constructs containing five deletions F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 were introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) by Agrobacterium-mediated trans...

The combination of single cells to form doublets is regarded as the rate-limiting step of flocculation and requires the presence of surface proteins in active form. The process of activation of the flocculation proteins of yeast cells is described in the frame of the autocrine interaction regime (Science 224 (1984) 1312). The influence of several effectors (the cell efficiency to use sugars, th...

The publisher regrets that the published version of the above article contained several printing errors. Namely that the citations in the text to the Erkelens and van Ee reference (in press) should have been changed to (2002). Also many possessives (’s) were deleted unnecessarily. In addition, in the second line of the abstract (p. 2??) should have been changed to (p. 1157), on line 10 in the l...

We investigate the coherence properties of individual nuclear spin quantum bits in diamond [Dutt, Science 316, 1312 (2007)10.1126/science.1139831] when a proximal electronic spin associated with a nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) center is being interrogated by optical radiation. The resulting nuclear spin dynamics are governed by time-dependent hyperfine interaction associated with rapid electronic tran...

Abstract Introduction Self-harm rates in the UK are increasing. Healthcare professionals’ beliefs regarding repeat attendance; attention-seeking; and poor treatment compliance may contribute to patients’ stigma. Self-inflicted burns (SIB) constitute a minority of cases, but require disproportionate healthcare input, yet little is known about these patients. Our aim was evaluate presentations, o...

A variant (rs3129882) in the genome-wide association study (GWAS)-linked variant [in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene region] has been reported to associate with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasian population. Studies among Chinese are limited. To address this, we analysed rs3129882 in a total of 1312 subjects of Chinese ethnicity from independent Asian centers comp...

The aim of this retrospective study was to identify general health problems as potential predisposing factors for hypodontia in a population of Japanese orthodontic patients. The study included 3683 individuals (1312 males and 2371 females, 13-42 years of age; mean, 23 years 7 months). Dental pantomograms (DPTs) were used to diagnose hypodontia. Health histories were obtained through a question...
