Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of adventitious presence of transgenic material in rice fields due to cross-pollination. Several studies have been conducted in order to quantify pollen-mediated gene flow from transgenic rice (Oryza s...

We describe further improvements of the ηT pairing algorithm in characteristic three. Our approach combines the loop unrolling technique introduced by Granger et. al for the Duursma-Lee algorithm, and a novel algorithm for multiplication over F36m proposed by Gorla et al. at SAC 2007. For m = 97, the refined algorithm reduces the number of multiplications over F3m from 815 to 692.

PURPOSE We investigated chief complaints and ocular disorders in infants under one year of age and analyzed the association between complaints and disorders. METHODS The medical records of 815 infants were reviewed. Chief complaints were grouped into the following 11 categories: eyelid drooping, epiphora (tearing), ocular discharge, lid swelling, eyelashes touching the eyeball, abnormalities ...

We investigated the interaction between the oak wilt pathogen (Ceratocystis fagacearum) and propiconazole in lower stems and roots of Quercus rubra to better understand published reports of fungicide failure after 2 years. Propiconazole was infused into mature oaks in July 2004 and roots were inoculated with pathogen endoconidia 1.0 m from injection sites at ±2 weeks of fungicide treatment. Pat...

Fig. S1. (a, b) Agarose gel analysis and (c, d) direct sequencing of mRNA amplified by nested PCRs in the proband and her mother. The mutation c.488delG in exon 5 of LAMA3 has been amplified using a forward primer located in exon 1 (bp 175) and a reverse primer located in exon 8 (bp 815). The mutation c.4484C>T in exon 33 of LAMA3 has been amplified using a forward primer located in exon 31 (bp...
