We are at present trying to identify DMD carriers by gene dosage analyses in those DMD families where the patient exhibits a deletion within one of the DMD-1 cDNA clones.' In the study of one such family using 2 7 probe 8, a deletion of the 1-25, 3-8, 1-6, and 3-7 kb HindIII fragments was seen in a boy with DMD. Visual inspection of the intensity of the 3 8 and 3 7 kb (6 bands diagnosed subject...

Assessment of genetic diversity and individual relationships in rice (Oryza sativa) germplasm collections seems to be necessary for future rice breeding program. In order to understand genetic relationships of 30 rice genotypes, nine morphological traits, seven physicochemical properties and twelve RAPD primers were used for study of 30 rice genotypes. Among morphological traits, numbe...

Commercial western blot (WB) assay was used to detect serum antibodies specific to Echinococcus multilocularis in 23 horses in which infection was confirmed by postmortem inspection at a slaughterhouse. Livers contained from 1 to >20 nodular lesions; foci diameter ranged from 1 to 25 mm. Antibody tests of serum from all 23 animals were negative for antigen bands at 7, 16, 18, and 26-28 kDa, whi...

The thickness-dependent interfacial band structure was determined for thin films of C(60) on Ag(111) by angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy. Dispersions of molecular-orbital derived bands (HOMO, LUMO+1, and LUMO+2) were acquired, and limits were placed on their possible effective masses. A group theoretic approach is also incorporated to further understand the properties of the...

A high resolution electrophoretic method has been developed to separate plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles by size using 4-30% polyacrylamide agarose (PAA) gradient gels, Sudan black B staining, and laser densitometry. Fourteen distinct HDL bands were observed with HDL-1 being designated as the largest particle and HDL-14 as the smallest particle. HDL-1 was similar in size to ferri...

The expanded Trend-to-Trend (T2T) cross-calibration technique has the potential to calibrate two sensors in much less time and provides trends on a daily assessment basis. trend obtained from aids evaluating differences between satellite sensors. Therefore, this was validated with several trusted techniques evaluate its accuracy. Initially, T2T three independent RadCaTS RRV, DIMITRI-PICS, APICS...
