An investigation was carried out on snake gourd at the research farm of Department Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Bangladesh during March to June 2019. Significant heterosis observed for most characters studied find high heterotic combination better hybrids. Both positive and negative were found different F1 hybrids over parents. The best paren...

We show that a nonlinear locally uniformly asymptotically stable infinite-dimensional system is automatically locally input-to-state stable (LISS) provided the nonlinearity possesses some sort of uniform continuity with respect to external inputs. Also we prove that LISS is equivalent to existence of a LISS Lyapunov function. We show by means of a counterexample that if this uniformity is not p...

egacy information systems are typically the backbone of an organization’s information flow and the main vehicle for consolidating business information. They are thus mission critical, and their failure can have a serious impact on business.1 In fact, a LIS can be defined as “any information system that significantly resists modification and evolution.”2 They can cause host organizations several...

Changes in shoreline configurations accelerated due to global warming are world wide concern. Such changes not only affect the flora and fauna of those regions but also the livelihood of the coastal population. In the context, the 7517km long coastline of Indian coast behaves differently in different regions. Therefore, in order to assess the shoreline changes taking place in particular coastal...

The HIV-1 Gag p6 protein regulates the final abscission step of nascent virions from the cell membrane by the action of its two late (L-) domains, which recruit Tsg101 and ALIX, components of the ESCRT system. Even though p6 consists of only 52 amino acids, it is encoded by one of the most polymorphic regions of the HIV-1 gag gene and undergoes various posttranslational modifications including ...

2-Hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate (HOPDA) hydrolase (BphD) is a key determinant in the aerobic transformation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by Burkholderia sp. strain LB400 (S. Y. K. Seah, G. Labbé, S. Nerdinger, M. Johnson, V. Snieckus, and L. D. Eltis, J. Biol. Chem. 275:15701-15708, 2000). To determine whether this is also true in divergent biphenyl degraders, the homologous hy...

Organization of replicating prokaryotic genomes requires architectural elements that, similarly to eukaryotic systems, induce topological changes such as DNA supercoiling. Bacteriophage 29 protein p6 has been described as a histone-like protein that compacts the viral genome by forming a nucleoprotein complex and plays a key role in the initiation of protein-primed DNA replication. In this work...

The P6 outer membrane protein is a highly conserved molecule which is present on the surface of all strains of Haemophilus influenzae. Sixty strains of nontypeable H. influenzae which caused invasive disease or colonized the female urogenital tract were studied with monoclonal antibodies 7F3 and 4G4, which recognize different surface-exposed epitopes on the P6 molecule. All 60 strains expressed...

The ontogenetic development of postingestive inhibitory control of ingestion by the osmotic load of a preload was examined in rats. On postnatal days 6 (P6) and 12 (P12), pups were deprived for either 6 or 24 h. Gastric preloads (5% body wt) of water, mannitol (a sugar alcohol that is not absorbed) in six concentrations [from 0.125 M (hypotonic) to 1.0 M (hypertonic)], or sham preloads were adm...
