New techniques based on Exceptional Field Theory have recently allowed for the calculation of Kaluza-Klein spectra certain AdS$_4$ solutions $D=11$ and massive IIA supergravity. These are that consistently uplift $S^7$ $S^6$ from vacua maximal four-dimensional supergravity with SO(8) ISO(7) gaugings. In this paper, we provide complete spectrum five such solutions, all them ${\cal N}=1$. preserv...

Functionally active 70S ribosomes containing 4-thiouridine (s4U) in place of uridine were prepared by a formerly described in vivo substitution method. Proteins were crosslinked to RNA by 366 nm photoactivation of s4U. We observe the systematic and characteristic formation of 30S dimers; they were eliminated for analysis of RNA-protein crosslinks. M13 probes containing rDNA inserts complementar...

A differentiate manifold M is said to be parallelizable if the tangent vector bundle of M is trivial. A topological manifold M is said to be topologically parallelizable if the tangent microbundle of M is trivial. In [2] Milnor has shown that on some open set M in some Euclidean space Rn there exists a differentiable structure with respect to which the integral Pontrjagin class p(M) of M is dif...

A chemical mutagenesis technique was employed for development of mutant strains of Sparassis crispa targeting the shortened cultivation time and the high β-glucan content. The homogenized mycelial fragments of S. crispa IUM4010 strain were treated with 0.2 vol% methyl methanesulfonate, an alkylating agent, yielding 199 mutant strains. Subsequent screening in terms of growth and β-glucan content...

The larva of Epigomphus crepidus Kennedy is described and figured and compared with other described congeners. It is characterized by 3rd antennomere spindle-shaped, flattened dorso-ventrally, twice longer than its widest part; ventral pad of hypopharynx pentagonal; prementum subrectangular, with lateral margins slightly convex on apical 0.60; ligula very poorly developed, with a ventral row of...

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 ...
