In this study, the karyo-systematic studies on the Iranian wild almond species A .communis L., A. corduchoruom Bornm., A. trichamygdalus woronow, Amygdalus lycioides Var. horrida Spach were done by the karyological methods. The meristem cells of the root tip were used for these studies. In each species, ten suitable metaphase plates were chosen and photographed so that the morphology of the chr...

onion is one of the important strategic crop plants of a highly valuable nutritional food source, consumed almost around the whole world. thus, the genetically oriented studies around the plant are valuable and inevitable. for a following of these studies, some onion masses from various regions throughout iran, including: kashan-white, azarshahr-red, isfahan-dorcheh, ghom-white, zanjan-gholighe...

An algorithm implemented in Rosetta correctly predicts the folding capabilities of the 17-residue N-terminal arm of the AraC gene regulatory protein when arabinose is bound to the protein and the dramatically different structure of this arm when arabinose is absent. The transcriptional activity of 43 mutant AraC proteins with alterations in the arm sequences was measured in vivo and compared wi...

The length requirements of the antisense portion of hammerhead ribozymes for efficacy in living cells was investigated. The HIV-1tat-directed asymmetric hammerhead ribozyme alphaYRz195 was used with a 195 nt 3'-antisense arm and a 3 nt 5'-antisense portion as well as a set of successively 3'-shortened derivatives thereof. In the 3'-antisense arm a minimum length of 20 complementary nucleotides ...

The wing loading parameter depending on the area and weight aspect ratio parameter, which is shape factor, are main parameters that determine fixed-wing flight mechanics. In this study, relationship between forms style of 195 bird species was evaluated using mass scatter plot. slope chart proportional to 1/wing loading. results showed birds with more per unit tended perform unpowered styles suc...

Polymeric liquids have unique dynamical properties that distinguish them from small molecule fluids . One of the most important examples is the strong dependence of the transport properties on the degree of polymerization N. For linear polymer chains (the most extensively studied architecture) one finds two different regimes. For chains shorter than a crossover chain length Nc the selfdiffusion...

Advanced LIGO (aLIGO) requires multiple frequency sidebands to disentangle all of the main interferometer's length signals. This paper presents the results of a risk reduction experiment to produce two sets of frequency sidebands in parallel, avoiding mixed 'sidebands on sidebands'. Two phase modulation frequencies are applied to separate Electro-Optic Modulators (EOMs), with one EOM in each of...

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between stroking technique parameters and leg kick quantity in 100 m front crawl swim. Ten New South Wales Sydney Metropolitan swimmers were examined (14.1 ± 1.09 years). The investigation was performed during 100 meter swimming (average speed 1.35 ± .04 [m.s-1]) commencing from water at 50 m outdoor pool. Stroke length (SL), Stroke ra...

Star-shaped polymers with varying arm numbers and arm lengths are synthesized, and self-assembled into microspheres, which are either smooth or fibrous on the nanoscale, and either nonhollow, hollow, or spongy on the microscale. The molecular architecture and functional groups determine the structure on both length scales. This exciting mechanistic discovery guides simultaneous control of both ...
