The complete sequence of the S7 RNA that codes for the major group-specific coat protein. VP7, of African horsesickness virus serotype 4 (AHSV-4) was determined from cDNA analyses and found to be 1179 nucleotides in length. One single open reading frame of 353 codons was observed defining a protein of Mr 38,107 with a net charge of -1.5 at neutral pH. Comparison of the AHSV-4 VP7 sequence with ...

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) has been an integral part of characterizing the immunity of Anopheles mosquitoes towards Plasmodium invasion. Two anti-Plasmodium factors of Anopheles, thioester-containing protein 1 (TEP1) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), play a role in the refractoriness of Anopheles towards Plasmodium infection and are generally expressed during infection. How...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the point of interaction between cyber and physical world, thus have been target previous cyber-attacks that caused disruption. To understand effectiveness state-of-the-art security mechanisms built into these devices, this paper presents an in-depth analysis performed on Siemens PLC environment, particularly communication protocol known as S7CommPlus. ...

We characterize a DNA segment of the Euglena gracills chloroplast DNA fragment Eco-N by nucleotlde sequencing and SI nuclease analysis. We show that this region, which is upstream of the previously sequenced tuf A gene, contains the genes for the ribosomal proteins S12 and S7. The gene arrangment is 5'-rps 12-80 bp spacer-rps 7-174 bp 3pacer-tuf A, somewhat similar to the str operon of E. coll....

The relative accessibility of rat liver ribosomal proteins to reductive methylation was examined using ribosomes with unphosphorylated, and extensively phosphorylated S6. Comparison of the results indicated that proteins S3, S4, S7, and S23/24 of the small subunit, and proteins L9, L10, L12, L18, L27, L34, and L36 are involved in a ribosomal conformational change.

We report the draft genome sequence of the Acidovorax caeni type strain R-24608 that was isolated from activated sludge of an aerobic-anaerobic wastewater treatment plant. The closest strain to Acidovorax caeni strain R-24608 is Acidovorax sp. strain MR-S7 with a 55.4% (amino-acid sequence) open reading frames (ORFs) average similarity.

We give a description of supermembranes in nontrivial target-space geometries. A special class are the AdS4 ×S7 and AdS7 ×S4 spaces that have the maximal number of 32 supersymmetries. Lecture presented at the 22-nd Johns Hopkins Workshop, Novelties in String Theory, Göteborg, August 20-22, 1998.

We classify septic number fields which are unramified outside of {∞, 2, 3} by a targeted Hunter search; there are exactly 10 such fields, all with Galois group S7. We also describe separate computations which strongly suggest that none of these fields come from specializing septic genus zero three-
