A large region of suppressed recombination surrounds the sex-determining locus of the self-fertile fungus Neurospora tetrasperma. This region encompasses nearly one-fifth of the N. tetrasperma genome and suppression of recombination is necessary for self-fertility. The similarity of the N. tetrasperma mating chromosome to plant and animal sex chromosomes and its recent origin (<5 MYA), combined...

INO80 and SWR1 are two closely related ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes that share several subunits. Ino80 was reported to be recruited to the HO endonuclease-induced double-strand break (DSB) at the budding yeast mating-type locus, MAT. We find Swr1 similarly recruited in a manner dependent on the phosphorylation of H2A (gammaH2AX). This is not unique to cleavage at MAT; both Swr1 ...

Abstract Dumping of construction waste is a growing issue in current situation and recycling reusing are the suitable solutions for solving it. This effort aims to recycle reuse ceramic waste. work examines effects inclusion tile powder, change glass fiber form which was used as reinforcement, method manufacturing polymer composite on properties composite. Normal glass-reinforced composites hav...

Insights into the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the enzyme, Methionine S-adenosyltransferase (MAT). can throw light on its role in humans and help in evolving se lectivity attributes of inhibitors targeted at bacterial MAT. We report here a 30model of human MAT, using the X-ray structure of MAT from the rat as a template, by comparative protein modeling principles. The resulting model has...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of residual feed intake (RFI) determined under ad libitum feeding conditions on DMI and performance of yearling ewes fed either chopped or pelleted alfalfa hay. In Exp. 1, 45 ewe-lambs had ad libitum access to a pelleted grower diet for 63 d and individual DMI was determined using an electronic feed delivery system. Residual feed intake...

Thin films are usually obtained by depositing atoms with a continuous flux. We show that using a chopped flux changes the growth and the morphology of the film. A simple scaling analysis predicts how the island densities change as a function of the frequency of the chopped flux in simple cases where aggregation is irreversible. These predictions are confirmed by computer simulations. We show th...

To determine whether the use of an under-mat has an effect on impact forces to the head in Judo, a Judo expert threw an anthropomorphic test device using the Osoto-gari and Ouchi-gari techniques onto a tatami (judo mat) with and without an under-mat. Head acceleration was measured and the head injury criterion (HIC) values with or without under-mat were compared. The use of an under-mat signifi...

Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) is functionally distinct from both white and brown adipose tissue and can contribute to systemic and skeletal metabolism. MAT formation is a spatially and temporally defined developmental event, suggesting that MAT is an organ that serves important functions and, like other organs, can undergo pathologic change. The well-documented inverse relationship between MAT an...
