Tiller angle is one of the most important components of the ideal plant architecture that can greatly enhance rice grain yield. Understanding the genetic basis of tiller angle and mining favorable alleles will be helpful for breeding new plant-type varieties. Here, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genes controlling tiller angle using 529 diverse accessions of Oryz...

Chimeric D1/D2 receptors were constructed to identify structural determinants of drug affinity and efficacy. We previously reported that chimeras that had D1 receptor transmembrane domain VII together with amino-terminal sequence from the D2 receptor were nonfunctional. D2/D1 chimeras were constructed that contained D2 receptor sequence at the amino- and carboxyl-terminal ends and D1 receptor s...

A macroscopic approximation of RNA secondary structure (Vialette, CPM 2002): • a subsequence of consecutive bases → an interval • a stacked pairing of two disjoint subsequences → a 2interval Three Binary Relations For two 2-intervals D1 = (I1, J1) and D2 = (I2, J2), D1 and D2 are disjoint if the four intervals I1, J1, I2, and J2 are pairwise disjoint. Preceding: D1 < D2 ⇐⇒ I1 < J1 < I2 < J2. Ne...

previous studies had reported that extracellular levels of ascorbic acid have modulatory effects on dopamine receptors. both ascorbic acid and dopamine receptor have an important role in learning and memory processes. however, the central interaction between ascorbic acid and dopamine d2 receptor on spatial learning and memory has not yet been elucidated. all experiments were carried out on mal...

In order to confirm the phylogenetic relationships of Histoplasma capsulatum, the partial sequences of large subunit (28S) ribosomal gene (D1/D2 region) of 49 isolates were studied. The similarity values of the 49 isolates were more than 99.0% across 617 base pairs, however, the 49 isolates were divided into 9 groups. These 9 groups were independent of 3 varieties, var. capsulatum, var. farcimi...

In the practice of metal treatment by cutting it is frequently necessary to deal with selfexcited oscillations of the cutting tool, treated detail and units of the machine tool. In this paper are presented differential equations with the delay of self-excited oscillations. The linear analysis is performed by the method of D-expansion. There is chosen an area of asymptotically stability and area...

BACKGROUND The neurological correlates of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) are not well known, however there is evidence of cortical dysregulation in patients with GAD. The aim of the study was to examine cortical functional activity in different cerebral regions in patients with GAD using electroencephalogram (EEG) nonlinear analysis to evaluate its contribution of anxiety severity. METHOD...

Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes are linear that intersect with their trivially. We study the largest minimum weight d2(n,k) among all binary LCD [n,k] and d3(n,k) ternary codes. The weights d2(n,5) d3(n,4) partially determined. also determine d2(n,n−5), d3(n,n−i) for i∈{2,3,4}, n∈{11,12,…,19}.

Testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) characteristically display two chromosome 12 abnormalities: the isochromosome i(12p) and concomitant deletions of the long arm. Some genes important in the control of the G(1)-S cell cycle checkpoint G(1)-S, i.e., cyclin-dependent kinases 2 and 4, cyclin D2 are located on this chromosomal region. Therefore, testicular GCTs were analyzed as to the expression of ...
