In commercially raised poultry, chlamydiosis mostly seems to occur on turkey or duck farms, sometimes associated with zoonotic transmission and disease (psittacosis) in humans. However, Chlamydia infections are apparently emerging in chickens, and information on the virulence of Chlamydia in chickens is limited. Up-to-date Chlamydia psittaci genotypes B and D are most frequently found in broile...

Let G be a graph with n(G) vertices and m(G) be its matching number. The nullity of G, denoted by η(G), is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero of adjacency matrix of G. It is well known that if G is a tree, then η(G) = n(G)− 2m(G). Guo et al. [Jiming GUO, Weigen YAN, Yeongnan YEH. On the nullity and the matching number of unicyclic graphs. Linear Alg. Appl., 2009, 431: 1293–1301] proved tha...

A human xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) cDNA has been previously isolated by functional complementation (Legerski and Peterson, Nature, 359, 70-73, 1992). Sequence analysis did not reveal protein motifs which might suggest a possible biochemical function for the putative XPC protein. In order to identify functional domains in the translated XPC sequence the homologous gene from Drosophila m...

Our goal is to develop accurate electrostatic models that can be implemented in current computational protein design protocols. To this end, we improve upon a previously reported pairwise decomposable, finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) model for protein design (Marshall et al., Protein Sci 2005, 14, 1293). The improvement involves placing generic sidechains at positions with unknown am...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2019 at Research Farm, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda (Punjab) to check the effect of rhizobium inoculation in relation with nitrogen levels on performance green gram. The trial laid split plot design two viz., 0 and 350 g ha-1 main four kg ha -1, 6 ha-1, 12 18 sub plot. Rhizobium seed significantly increased plant growth parameters...
