The HKαα allele is a rearrangement occurring in the α-globin gene cluster containing both the -α(3.7) and ααα(anti4.2) unequal crossover junctions. The anti-HKαα allele is the reciprocal product containing both the -α(4.2) and ααα(anti3.7) unequal crossover junctions, which had been predicted but had not been detected previously. The phenotypic feature and population frequency of these two unus...

B this cause diminish or disappear, inna minority ?f families or ndividuals have difficulty in adapting, ? ^ their tensions remain, or even grease. These form the hard core the discontented. Several doctors in new towns have ^?gested that there is a greater ncidence of neurosis in their Ipctices.

The paleartic tamarix leafhopper, Opsius stactogalus Fieber (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), can reduce the growth of tamarisk due to the aggregate feeding imposed by their populations. The species was mentioned for Argentina in Metcalf's catalogue (1967) without locality or region reference, and the contributions on Cicadellidae published by many authors after Metcalf omitted this distributional dat...

When the temperature of exponential-phase cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was abruptly raised from 28 to 40 degrees C, trehalose immediately accumulated, whereas the activities of trehalase and trehalose-6-phosphate synthase/trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase complex increased after a lag period of about 10 min. Heat shock also induced a sudden rise in intracellular glucose, simultaneously ...

Range of motion, pain, consolidation and complications were evaluated for nine patients who underwent four-corner arthrodesis using the Quad Memory Staple (QMS) at a mean follow-up of 44 months. The mean pre-operative range of motion was 50 degrees extension, 62 degrees flexion, 9 degrees radial deviation and 24 degrees ulnar deviation. The postoperative range of motion was similar to previous ...

The aim of the present study is to assess the results of indirect reduction and hybrid external fixation in management of comminuted tibial plateau fractures. The study included 28 patients with high-energy tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type V and VI). The ages ranged from 22 to 58 years with an average of 35 years. The trauma was a road traffic accident in 16 cases and a fall from a heig...

We conducted two experiments to study the effects of pelleting and pellet conditioning temperature on weanling pig performance. In Exp. 1, 252 weanling pigs (PIC, L326 x C22) averaging 6.0 +/- 1.3 kg and 21 +/- 3 d of age were used to evaluate six corn-soybean meal-based diets containing 15% dried whey and formulated to contain 1.4% lysine. Treatments consisted of a control diet without spray-d...

The first phase of the Caltech Wide Area Sky Survey occurred from late November 2001 through mid-April 2003. We present preliminary results from this survey which has detected 28 bright Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) and 4 Centaurs, 19 of which were discovered in our survey including Quaoar, the largest KBO, as well as 6 of the 10 intrinsically brightest KBOs. We have surveyed 5108 square degrees o...
