A putative translocation line (#32), together with a disomic addition line (TAI27) and an octo-amphiploid line (Zhong3) of common wheat and Thinopyrum intermedium were characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, using probes covering all seven homoeologous groups of Triticeae. Line 32 was confirmed to be a cryptic translocation line, based on the detection of mult...

In this study, the intergeneric hybrids F1, F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 from Elytrigia elongata and Triticum aestivum crosses were produced to study their chromosome pairing behavior. The average E. elongata chromosome configuration of the two F1 hybrids agreed with the theoretical chromosome configuration of 21I+7II, indicating that the genomic constitution of this F1 hybrid was ABDStStEeEbEx....

Traditional use of grid computing allows a user to submit batch jobs in a grid environment. We believe, next generation grids will extend the application domain to include interactive graphical sessions. We term such grids interactive grids. In this paper, we describe some of the challenges involved in building interactive grids. These include fine grain access control, QoS guarantees, and dyna...

During a previously published study on gaseous microemboli (GMEs) and perfusionist interventions, it was noted that emboli could be detected after the arterial filter when blood/air challenges entered the membrane oxygenator's integral cardiotomy. The findings indicated that further study into the oxygenator's integral cardiotomy reservoir was warranted. This is the first know published report ...

AN Approximately 2.7 million (range, 2.2-3.2 million) Americans are estimated to be chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). This is the most-cited estimate based upon data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The majority of persons with chronic HCV were born between 1945 and 1965 (ie, baby boomers), and the peak incidence was in the 1970s and 1980s. A ...

In many laboratories of biology which usually doing FISH and GISH experiments, it is important to store, retrieve, and manage large amount of chromosome image data easily. For this purpose, conservative way of data management, that is, each technician keeps their experimental data in their own PCs, will ruin for thousands or millions of image data. Furthermore, version management of image data ...
