Klarsicht/ANC-1/Syne/homology (KASH)/Sad-1/UNC-84 (SUN) protein pairs can act as connectors between cytoplasmic organelles and the nucleoskeleton. Caenorhabditis elegans ZYG-12 and SUN-1 are essential for centrosome-nucleus attachment. Although SUN-1 has a canonical SUN domain, ZYG-12 has a divergent KASH domain. Here, we establish that the ZYG-12 mini KASH domain is functional and, in combinat...

When absorbed, a photon of a given energy has the same chemical and biological effect whether it comes from the sun or from an artificial, man-made source like a sun bed. If the spectrum and intensity of a sun bed are the same as those of the sun, the biological effects will be exactly the same. The main difference between radiation from sun and sun beds is that sun beds emit less visible light...

Background and Objectives: Day-shift taxi drivers have a long duration of direct sun exposure. However, the efficiency of this occupational exposure in vitamin D synthesis has not been addressed yet. The aim of this study was to assess the vitamin D status of taxi drivers in Tehran, and examine vitamin D status association with some anthropometric and circulating biomarkers. Materials and Meth...

RFC 1831 [Srinivasan 1995a] describes Sun RPC which was designed for client-server communication in the Sun NFS network file system. Sun RPC is sometimes called ONC (Open Network Computing) RPC. Sun RPC is supplied as a part of the various Sun UNIX operating systems and is also available with other NFS installations. Implementers have the choice of using remote procedure calls over either UDP/I...

In early spring, red wood ants Formica polyctena are often observed clustering on the nest surface in large numbers basking in the sun. It has been hypothesized that sun-basking behaviour may contribute to nest heating because of both heat carriage into the nest by sun-basking workers, and catabolic heat production from the mobilization of the workers' lipid reserves. We investigated sun-baskin...
