We give a complete classification of all simple representations of B3 for dimension d ≤ 5 over an algebraically closed field K of any characteristic. To describe our result in detail, recall that B3 is given by generators σ1 and σ2 which satisfy the relation σ1σ2σ1 = σ2σ1σ2. Moreover, it is well-known that the center of B3 is generated by ζ = (σ1σ2). It is easy to see that ζ acts on a simple d-...

Cadmium contamination in rice grains is one of the important issues in Asian countries. We have developed a novel bio-remediation system based on the symbiosis between leguminous plant and genetically engineered rhizobia. We designed two types of recombinant rhizobia, carrying two genes, synthetic tetrameric metallothionein (MTL4) and cDNA encoding phytochelatin synthase from Arabidopsis thalia...

The anterior portion of intrinsic buccal muscle 3 (I3a) is innervated by two motor neurons, B3 and B38, which appear to use glutamate as their fast excitatory transmitter. B3 and B38 express the neuropeptides FMRFamide and the small cardioactive peptides (SCPs), respectively. We have shown previously that stimulation of B38 causes release of the SCPs from terminals in the muscle. The I3a muscle...

OBJECTIVES The aims of the present study were to determine oxidative stress and to explore possible reasons of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase in human lens epithelial (HLE) B3 cells exposed to low intensity 1.8 GHz radiofrequency fields (RF). METHODS The HLE B3 cells were divided into RF exposure and RF sham-exposure groups. The RF exposure intensity was at specific absorption rate (S...

Tributyltin compound TBT released into the aquatic environment is generally degraded by bacteria in water and sediment. The isolation of TBT-degrading bacteria from TBT polluted sediment leads to the indication of specific potential TBT degraders. Two new strains of bacteria designated as B2 and B3 were successfully isolated using glycerol medium containing tributyltin chloride TBTC at 130 μM f...

Although the BCR-ABL hybrid gene on chromosome 22q-plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), little is known of the reciprocal chimeric gene, ABL-BCR, formed on chromosome 9q+. By reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction amplification (RT/PCR) we have detected ABL-BCR mRNA in cells from 31 of 44 BCR-ABL positive CML patients and 3 of 5 CML cell lines. Of...

Every year, thousands of basic military trainees in each service of the U.S. Armed Forces experience acute respiratory disease. The majority of this disease burden results from infection with human adenoviruses. We designed single- and multiplex assays that detect and discriminate adenovirus types B3, E4, B7, B11, B14, and B21. A total of 116 oropharyngeal swab specimens obtained from patients ...

The Ca channel b subunit has been shown to reduce the magnitude of G-protein inhibition of Ca channels. However, neither the specificity of this action to different forms of G-protein inhibition nor the mechanism underlying this reduction in response is known. We have reported previously that coexpression of the Ca channel b3 subunit causes M2 muscarinic receptor-mediated inhibition of a1B Ca 2...

The complete genome of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PM105 is 39,593 bp long. The phage belongs to the B3 family of transposable Mu-like phages, as confirmed by the presence of bacterial DNA joined to the phage genome ends. PM105, together with other B3-like phages, form a newly arising species.
