We have found that the single nucleotide primer extension assay, a PCR-based assay currently used qualitatively to measure allelic differences in DNA, can be used quantitatively to measure allele-specific transcripts differing by only a single nucleotide. We show that total RNA containing the Pgk-1a transcript can be specifically detected even in a 1000-fold excess of RNA containing the Pgk-1b ...

Here we present the verification of shear-mediated contributions to multiple scattering of ultrasound in suspensions. Acoustic spectroscopy was carried out with suspensions of silica of differing particle sizes and concentrations in water to find the attenuation at a broad range of frequencies. As the particle sizes approach the nanoscale, commonly used multiple scattering models fail to match ...

We compute the hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a μ (had), in chiral perturbation theory that are enhanced by large logarithms and a factor of NC . They depend on a low-energy constant entering pseudoscalar meson decay into a charged lepton pair. The uncertainty introduced by this constant is ±60 × 10, which is comparable in magnitude to th...

Understanding marine biodiversity is of paramount importance. Recently, we developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-free small-organelle-enriched metagenomics (SoEM) method with enhanced performance in species identification compared to multimarker DNA metabarcoding. However, this has problem applicability for field surveys, example, the need filter large volumes seawater. Here, propose an i...

Let X be a Calabi-Yau 3-fold containing a nonsingular genus g curve C ⊂ X. We study here the contribution of genus g + h covers of C to the genus g + h Gromov-Witten invariants of X. Degenerate contributions play an important role in the Gromov-Witten theory of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. In algebraic geometry, these contributions are related to Hodge integrals over the moduli space of curves Mg,n [FP]...

The ADP-ribosylation factor-like (Arl) family of small G proteins are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes. Arl2 does not appear to be membrane localized and has been implicated as a regulator of microtubule dynamics. The downstream effector for Arl2, Binder of Arl 2 (BART) has no known function but, together with Arl2, can enter mitochondria and bind the adenine nucleotide ...

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter in pseudo-hoops. Then we investigated these notions and proved some properties of them. Also, we discussed the relationship between n-fold obstinate pseudo-hoop and n-fold obstinate filter and other types of n-fold pseudo-hoops and n-fold filters such as n-fold (positive) implicative filter and ...

The topological indices, defined as the sum of contributions of all pairs of vertices (among which are the Wiener, Harary, hyper–Wiener indices, degree distance, and many others), are expressed in terms of contributions of edges and pairs of edges.
