C57BL/6 is a well-characterized mouse strain that is used extensively for immunological and neurological research. The establishment of C57BL/6 ES cell lines has facilitated the study of gene-altered mice in a pure genetic background-however, relatively few such lines exist. Using a defined media supplement, knockout serum replacement (KSR) with knockout DMEM (KSR-KDMEM), we find that we can re...

We present Spitzer high-resolution spectra of off-nuclear regions in the central cluster galaxies NGC 1275 and NGC 4696 in the Perseus and Centaurus clusters, respectively. Both objects are surrounded by extensive optical emission-line filamentary nebulae, bright outer parts of which are the targets of our observations. The 10–37µm spectra show strong pure rotational lines from molecular hydrog...

Pure rotational lines are important for monitoring water concentrations in many environments both in space and on earth. A list of line intensities of rotational transitions for H2 O is calculated using variational nuclear-motion wave functions and an ab initio dipole moment surface. This methodology should be equally reliable for both allowed and forbidden rotational transitions. Extensive com...

We present a complete study of the H 2 infrared emission, including the pure rotational lines, of the proto Planetary Nebulae CRL 618 with the ISO SWS. A large number of lines are detected. The analysis of our observations shows: (i) an OTP ratio very different from the classical value of 3, probably around 1.76-1.87; (ii) a stratification of the emitting region, and more precisely different re...

Two wideband left-handed (LH) transmission lines are presented. A pure LH transmission line (PLH TL) materialized by a defected ground structure with an inter-digital capacitor on a microstrip line has a wide LH propagation region without a right-handed (RH) branch in the reduced Brillouin zone. Another is a broadband LH rectangular waveguide utilized by a shorted stub and twisted Eplane posts....

Auger photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (APECS) confirms that a substantial part of the lowenergy tail of the L» VV Auger lines of the 3d transition metals is due to intrinsic initialand final-state shake-up/shake-off processes and not just secondary losses. Data were collected for the L» VV Auger lines of pure Cu, Co, and Ni. APECS enables a direct experimental measurement of the initial-...

Aim of study: Improvement barley cultivars for malting traits suffers from narrow genetic pool in these traits. Landraces are resources that could be used this purpose. The present study was conducted to determine the variation quality within a Turkish landrace. Area undertaken Tokat, province Black Sea Region Turkey. Material and methods: Twenty-five diverse lines, out 42 unique genotypes prev...

Muscle development at 20 and 25 d of incubation was studied in a randombred control line (RBC2), a subline (F) of RBC2 selected only for increased 16-wk BW, a commercial sire line (B), and reciprocal crosses of the F and B lines. Muscle samples from three males and three females of each genetic group were collected in such a manner to avoid contraction. After fixing, the muscles were stained wi...

The eggplant (Solanum melongena) semi-long black varietal type is the most important in most European markets. Although open pollinated, pure lines and F1 hybrid cultivars exist within this varietal group, the latter predominate in the commercial production of eggplants, especially under greenhouse conditions. However, molecular markers studies have found that modern F1 hybrids present a reduce...
