Progressive changes are observed in both the composition of mammal faunas and vegetation during the Miocene epoch [24-5 mega-annum (Ma)]. These changes are usually interpreted as a response to climatic changes. In the traditional view, forests or woodlands gradually gave way to more open habitats, with grazing (grass-eating) ungulate (hoofed) mammal species replacing the browsing (leafy-vegetat...

The West Burma Terrane (WBT) is a small terrane bounded to the east by Asian Sibumasu Block and west Indo-Burman Ranges (IBR), latter being an exhumed accretionary prism that formed during subduction of Indian oceanic lithosphere beneath Asia. Understanding geological history WBT important for reconstruction closure Tethys ocean India-Asia collision. Currently there are major discrepancies in p...

Recent research has highlighted the importance of management for success dyadic coopetition strategies. Coopetition, however, does not always occur in settings. Oligo-coopetition strategies, i.e., strategy among more than two but only a small number coopetitors, and its remain largely understudied. simultaneously increases both potential benefits risks coopetition. Past highlights key role thir...

The DAT1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a DNA binding protein (Dat1p) that specifically recognizes the minor groove of non-alternating oligo(A).oligo(T) tracts. Sequence-specific recognition requires arginine residues found within three perfectly repeated pentads (G-R-K-P-G) of the Dat1p DNA binding domain [Reardon, B. J., Winters, R. S., Gordon, D., and Winter, E. (1993) Proc. Natl. ...

Principal Skarn deposits along the northern margin of the Ahar batholith from west to east include Mazraeh, Vine and Gowdoul skarn deposits. Among these skarn deposits, the Mazraeh Cu-Fe Skarn deposit is the most typical skarn deposit in the NW Iran. This skarn deposit is located 5 km. north of Mazraeh village and 20 km north of Ahar town. The origin and development of the skarn can be related ...
