The p21 region of human chromosome 9 is thought to contain a gene (MLM) involved in genetic susceptibility to melanoma and a gene or genes that influence progression of certain other tumors. Genomic clones that span a large region in 9p21 surrounding the presumptive tumor suppressor gene(s) have been isolated. A set of sequence-tagged sites in this region has been developed. By using these mark...

Neutrino masses and mixings are investigated on the basis of a universal seesaw mass matrix model, in which quark (except for top) and charged lepton mass matrices Mf and neutrino mass matrix Mν are given by Mf ≃ mLM F mR and Mν ≃ mLM F mL (F = N), respectively. For a simple model which can successfully describe quark masses and mixings, we find that the observed neutrino data (except for the s...

In the present work, a study of thermoelastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient and non-uniform internal pressure is carried out. The formulation is based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), which accounts for the transverse shear. The governing equations, derived using minimum total potential energy principle, are solved, usi...

association analysis is a useful method for evaluation of significant association between molecular marker and phenotype of trait. this study was performed to evaluate association between traits related with powdery mildew resistance and molecular markers. this investigation was performed using 77 barley genotypes and aflp markers. in phenotypic evaluation, reaction of seedlings to powdery mild...

The synthesis of the new Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with 1-methyllumazine (1-methylpteridine2,4(1H ,3H )-dione, MLM) and 1,6,7-trymethyllumazine (1,6,7-trimethylpteridine-2,4(1H ,3H )-dione, MLMD) is described. The coordination chemistry of these ligands have been investigated and an usual bidentate bonding mode through the N5 and O4 atoms is observed. These com...

Based on the buffer layer method, a new method called zipper layer method was developed. This method maintains the capability of the buffer layer which can link two topologically different multi-block structured meshes together, while significantly improving the robustness. This method can both locally and globally connect two dissimilar structured meshes with tetrahedrons and pyramids to form ...

A formal specification of a multi-level marketing (MLM) business is presented. Specifying a MLM business boils down to specifying properties of and operations on mathematical forests and trees. The usefulness of the model-based specification language, Z, is investigated as a vehicle for a formal specification of these recursive structures. The specification is presented following a prescribed f...
