The yeast shi mutation affects the spacing between the TATA promoter element and transcription initiation sites; for the H2B and ADH1 genes, a series of start sites located approximately 50-80 bp downstream of TATA is used in addition to the wild-type initiation sites located at around 100 bp from TATA (1). Here, the yeast SHI wild-type gene has been isolated by complementation and shown to be ...

Starting from the political ideas of the reforms of Wang An-shi, the political and social ideas of the medium term of Chinese feudal society are studied in the article. The political ideas of the reforms of Wang An-shi contained the political meanings such as the humanism and the pragmatism, which paid attention to the public feelings and opinions, and alleged putting them into social practice....

INTRODUCTION School health instruction (SHI) is the instructional aspects of school health programme. It provides information on key health issues to school children who are in their formative years. METHODS A cross sectional descriptive study of all the primary schools in a focal Local Government Area in Nigeria was carried out to ascertain the implementation of SHI with regards to the conte...

The number of regions of the type Cn Shi arrangement in Rn is (2n + 1)n. Strikingly, no bijective proof of this fact has been given thus far. The aim of this paper is to provide such a bijection and use it to prove more refined results. We construct a bijection between the regions of the type Cn Shi arrangement in Rn and sequences a1a2 . . . an, where ai ∈ {−n,−n+1, . . . ,−1, 0, 1, . . . , n−1...

The uncapacitated facility location has always been an important problem due to its connection to operational research and infrastructure planning. Byrka obtained an algorithm that is parametrized by γ and proved that it is optimal when γ > 1.6774. He also proved that the algorithm achieved an approximation ratio of 1.50. A later work by Shi Li achieved an approximation factor of 1.488. In this...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using variable diffusion times (t(diff)) was performed to investigate wild-type (wt) mice, myelin-deficient shiverer (shi) mutant mice and shi mice transplanted with wt neural precursor cells that differentiate and function as oligodendrocytes. At t(diff) = 30 ms, the diffusion anisotropy "volume ratio" (VR), diffusion perpendicular to the fibers (lambda( perpendi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Human leukemia cell lines are of great value in leukemia research. Thus far 36 leukemia cell lines carrying the 11q23 translocation and MLL rearrangements, including two cell lines with t(6;11)(q27;q23) and an MLL-AF6 fusion gene have been described. We have established a new monocytic cell line with t(6;11), designated SHI-1, and herein describe its biological charact...
