In MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics)-based theories the strong equivalence principle is generically broken in an idiosyncratic manner, manifested action of "external field effect (EFE)". The internal dynamics a self-gravitating system affected even by constant external field. disk galaxies EFE can induce warps and modify rotational speeds. Due to non-linearity MOND, it difficult derive analyti...

Ethylene is a volatile hydrocarbon with massive global market in the plastic industry. The ethylene now used for commercial applications produced exclusively from nonrenewable petroleum sources, while competitive biotechnological production systems do not yet exist. This review focuses on currently developed photoautotrophic bioproduction strategies that enable direct solar-driven conversion of...

Ethylene is an important signaling molecule in plants that triggers the growth of leaves, flowers, and fruits. One enzymes involved biosynthesis ethylene ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE), which usual nonheme iron biodegrades ?-ketoglutarate into three CO2 molecules ethylene. As detailed mechanism EFE remains controversial particularly function co-substrate l-arginine, we decided to pursue a densit...

OBJECTIVE The autopsy and clinical information on children dying with anti-SSA/Ro-associated cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus (cardiac NL) were examined to identify patterns of disease, gain insight into pathogenesis and enhance the search for biomarkers and preventive therapies. METHODS A retrospective analysis evaluating reports from 18 autopsies of cardiac NL cases and clinical dat...

Whereas intact postharvest avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruit may take 1 or more weeks to ripen, ripening is hastened by pulsing fruit for 24 h with ethylene or propylene and is initiated promptly by cutting slices, or discs, of mesocarp tissue. Because the preclimacteric lag period constitutes the extended and variable component of the ripening syndrome, we postulated that selective gene e...

We identified a potential new subtype within human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2), HTLV-2d, present in members of an isolated Efe Bambuti Pygmy tribe. Two of 23 Efe Pygmies were HTLV-2 seropositive, with HTLV-2 Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reactivities. From one of them the entire genome of the HTLV-2 strain Efe2 could be amplified and sequenced. In all gene reg...

one of the most important requirements of developing appropriate strategies for international marketing is correct identification of target markets. using quantitative techniques and decision making skills will lead to better results regarding the evaluation of marketing strategies. in this study, first we have used internal factor evaluation (ife) matrix for recognizing and comparing strengths...
