The viewpoint is taken that in large port>ions of the atmospherc, wind spcclds (V,,), divergence (D,?), and vor-ticity (r,?) obtained under the gradient wind assnmptiorl are considerably morc accurate representations of true conditions than those one obtains from the geostrophic assumption. Equations are derived for computing V,,, D,,, and rgl. The equation for the vorticity of gradicnt' winds ...

A report on 16S rRNA gene sequence re-analysis and digitalization is presented using Lysinibacillus species (one example) deposited in National Microbial Repositories in India. Lysinibacillus species 16S rRNA gene sequences were digitalized to provide quick response (QR) codes, Chaose Game Representation (CGR) and Frequency of Chaose Game Representation (FCGR). GC percentage, phylogenetic analy...

A dual-hop relayed wireless communication system is presented where the gain of the relay, called combined gain relay (CGR), is produced after combining the channel state information from both hops, depending on the mean hop’s signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The proposed scheme can be efficiently applied in dual-hop transmissions with unbalanced mean SNRs due to the long-term fading effects produc...

In this study, we report a Japanese boy with testotoxicosis due to a heterozygous mutation [p. A572V] in the LH/CGR gene, who was the first boy treated with a third-generation aromatase inhibitor (AI) and reached his adult height in Japan. He showed accelerated growth and rapid penile growth from 3 yr of age and was diagnosed as having testotoxicosis. Combined treatment with anastrozole and spi...

Thirty-four patients with angiographically proved arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord were studied between May 1986 and July 1987. Examinations were performed on a CGR 5000 Magniscan 0.5-T scanner with a surface coil in all cases, and multislices in both T1- and T2-weighted sequences were obtained in sagittal and axial planes. The results showed that MR can accurately diagnose all ca...

In a field experiment, the effect of enhanced UV-B radiation (simulating 20% ozone depletion at Allahabad, 20 degrees 47' N latitude) was studied on two cultivars of Vigna radiata L. with various levels of mineral nutrients (N and P). Study showed decrease in total biomass accumulation, harvest index, RSR and yield after exposure with enhanced level of UV-B. RGR and CGR also showed decline afte...

The classification and nomenclature of retrotransposable elements is reviewed. A comparison is made between the initial classification summarized in Capy et al. (1997b), and the more recent proposal based on the classificat...

Field experiment was carried out with five selected mustard cultivars during November 2007 to February 2008 under old alluvial soil in the Crop Research and seed Multiplication Farm of Burdwan University, Burdwan, West Bengal, India in randomized block design replicated thrice. Various growth parameters viz., length of shoot and root, number of primary branches per plant, length of siliquae, di...

Many Computational methods are yet available for data retrieval and analysis of genomic sequences, but some functional sites are difficult to characterize. In this work, we examine the problem of promoter localization in human DNA sequences. Promoters are regulatory regions that governs the expression of genes, and their prediction is reputed difficult, so that this issue is still open. We pres...
