Sclerotinia stem rot is one of the most devastating diseases of rapeseed in China, which causes yield loss ranging from 10 to 80%. The objective of this study was to detect the QTLs associated with this disease. A partial sclerotinia resistance rapeseed line M083 was crossed with a sensitive one APL01, and the BC1F1 derived from this cross was used as a mapping population. The 182 lines of BC1F...

Worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis is concerned with computing upper bounds of the maximum computation time of a program. This is indispensable for the development of safety-critical realtime systems, where missing a deadline can have disastrous consequences, including the loss of lives. Tools for WCET analysis typically analyze the object-code of a program since this is the code which i...

Sensory neuropathy with prominent ataxia reflecting kinesthetic sensory impairment is a well recognised form of neuropathy associated with Sjögren’s syndrome. Pathologically, T cell invasion of dorsal root ganglia, loss of large sensory neurons, and secondary large fibre degeneration is seen in this neuropathy. However, a form of neuropathy associated with Sjögren’s syndrome, presenting with pa...

CCR5, a receptor for the CC chemokines RANTES, Mip1alpha, and Mip1beta, has been identified as a coreceptor for infections by macrophage-tropic isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). To study its structure and function, we isolated cDNA clones of human, African green monkey (AGM), and NIH/Swiss mouse CCR5s, and we quantitatively analyzed infections by macrophage-tropic HIV-1 a...

di erential algebra. Note e.g. that in our algebra an element like n123 is admissible (i.e. non-zero) if n1; n2 and n2; n3 are connected. n123 may however arise from a di erentiation process (i.e. from an insertion) like du(n13) with n1; n3 not(!) connected. This is exactly the situation discussed above: n13 2 I but du(n13) = 2 I (88) Dividing now by I 0 maps du(n13) onto zero whereas there may...
