Quaking (QKI) is an RNA-binding protein involved in post-transcriptional mRNA processing. This gene is found to be associated with several human neurological disorders. Early expression of QKI proteins in the developing mouse neuroepithelium, together with neural tube defects in Qk mouse mutants, suggest the functional requirement of Qk for the establishment of the nervous system. As a knockout...

In this Appendix, we extend the model to the case where goods are characterized by multiple attributes. We then study in detail the case where goods differ along two quality attributes. As in Section 2, a consumer evaluates all N > 1 goods in a choice set Cchoice ≡ {qk}k=1,...,N . Each good k is a vector qk = (q1k, . . . , qmk, pk) ∈ R of m > 1 quality attributes, where qik (i = 1, . . . ,m) me...

The use of multiple independent spanning trees (ISTs) for data broadcasting in networks provides a number of advantages, including the increase of fault-tolerance and bandwidth. Thus, the designs of multiple ISTs on several classes of networks have been widely investigated. Tang et al. [S.-M. Tang, Y.-L. Wang, Y.-H. Leu, Optimal independent spanning trees on hypercubes, Journal of Information S...

We characterize the Möbius invariant QK spaces in terms of higher order derivatives. Our methods are new even in the case of Qp spaces.

in this manuscript, we prove some coupled fixed point theoremsfor two pairs of self mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integraltype in generalized metric spaces. we furnish suitable illustrative examples.in this manuscript, we prove some coupled fixed point theoremsfor two pairs of self mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integraltype in generalized metric spaces. we furnis...

in this paper we discuss on the fixed points of asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions in uniform spaces equipped with an e-distance. a new version ofkirk's fixed point theorem is given for asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions is investigated in uniform spaces.

There are some minor errors in one of the algorithms and two of the tables in a paper by Williams and Buhr. These errors do not affect the major conclusions of the paper. We present corrections to one of the algorithms and two of the tables in [1]. These corrections do not affect the major conclusions of the paper. In the algorithm for computing the NICF of √ D on the bottom half of page 373, w...

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of bovine fasciolosis and to assess the effectiveness of commonly used anthelmenthics in Ginner district south-eastern, Ethiopia from September to December 2011. For the determination of the prevalence, 384 fecal samples were collected and examined by sedimentation technique. The result revealed that 121 (31.51%) animals were positive for Fasc...

We investigate the mixed finite element method (MFEM) for solving a second order elliptic problem with a lowest order term, as might arise in the simulation of single phase flow in porous media. We find that traditional mixed finite element spaces are not necessary when a positive lowest order (i.e., reaction) term is present. Hence we propose to use standard conforming finite elements Qk × (Qk...
