Neuropeptides are an important class of molecules involved in diverse aspects of metazoan development and homeostasis. Insects are ideal model systems to investigate neuropeptide functions, and the major focus of insect neuropeptide research in the last decade has been on the identification of their receptors. Despite these vigorous efforts, receptors for some key neuropeptides in insect develo...

The third EGRET catalog contains a large number of unidentified sources. This subset of objects is expected to include known gamma-ray emitters of Galactic origin such as pulsars and supernova remnants, in addition to an extragalactic population of blazars. However, current data allows the intriguing possibility that some of these objects may represent a new class of yet undiscovered gamma-ray ...

This paper presents a mechanism of resolving unidentified lexical units in Text-based Machine Translation (TBMT). In a Machine Translation (MT) system it is unlikely to have a complete lexicon and hence there is intense need of a new mechanism to handle the problem of unidentified words. These unknown words could be abbreviations, names, acronyms and newly introduced terms. We have proposed an ...

In 1994 the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control (LCDC), Health Canada, commissioned one of us (R.S.R.) and a co-investigator to characterize the epidemiology of transfusion-associated HIV infection in Canada before serologic testing was implemented. In this study, presented in part to the Commission of Inquiry on the Blood System in Canada (the Krever Commission), we estimated through statist...

DEVELOPMENT of practical recording methods for the human electrocardiogram was rapidly followed by important medical applications. Electrocardiography was established as the major means of classifying disturbances of cardiac rhythm and an important aid in the recognition of myocardial disease including infarction. Applications have been sufficiently significant to result in widespread use of th...

The majority of Galactic high-energy γ-ray sources continue to elude identification. Currently, we have a handful of firm pulsar identifications, one of which is radio quiet, and a few marginal detections, including one millisecond pulsar. Recently, both blind searches of EGRET error boxes and targeted searches of X-ray counterpart candidates have had some success in finding new pulsars. I revi...

Observations of unidentified EGRET sources were made with the Whipple 10m imaging atmospheric Čerenkov telescope between Fall 1999 and Spring 2001. During this period, a high resolution 490 pixel camera with 4 field of view was present on the telescope. Characterization of the off-axis response of this instrument was done using observations of the Crab Nebula. No significant emission was detect...

Cornetfishes are reported in tropical and temperate near shore marine waters the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian oceans. The present study was performed on Blue spotted Cornetfish, F. commersonii from Nagapattinam (Tamil Nadu, India) concerning morphometrics meristic characters, length-weight relationship food feeding nature. characters of cornetfish had been presented. results revealed that regressi...

Following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the preservation of the food chain from radionuclides contamination has become of crucial importance. The potential of Dark septate endophytic fungi in the management of Cs accumulation in plants under contaminated environments was investigated using Chinese cabbage and tomato plants. Four endophytic fungal isolates of different...

during 2009, in the course of a faunistic survey of terrestrial parasitengona mites in jahrom region, ronaldothrombium bellator (southcott, 1986) (acari, trombidiidae) was collected and identified for the first time from iran. it was collected as ectoparasite of an unidentified araneae, which is a new host for r. bellator.
