Genetic polymorphisms are defined as changes within the DNA sequences of genes that have frequencies in the population higher than 1%. The glutathione S-transferases play an important role in the cellular detoxification systems involved in oxidative stress that can lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Epidemiological studies have suggested that individuals with homozygous deletion o...

The present study was undertaken to examine the frequencies of GSTM1 (Null/Present), GSTP1 (Ile105Val) and p53 (Arg72Pro) genotypes and their relations to breast cancer susceptibility in South Indian women. This case - control study involved 250 consecutive breast cancer cases and 500 healthy controls matched in five-year age categories in the ratio of 1:2. Genotyping was performed by PCR for G...

This paper investigates novel evidence from Russian Verb-Stranding Verb Phrase Ellipsis (VVPE), and argues for its use as a probe into the syntactic structure of morphophonologically inseparable but morphosyntactically complex verbs. The first step is to distinguish internal argument drop from VVPE, because they appear identical on the surface. I present novel evidence that Russian internal arg...

At the earliest stage of acquisition, children learning languages such as German, English or Swedish often have an “optional infinitive” stage. During this stage, child productions include both verbs used correctly as well as infinitival forms used as matrix verbs (e.g., Weverink 1989, Platzack 1990, Wexler 1994, Schütze 1997). It has been claimed that children learning null subject or richly i...

A dodecagon quadrangle is the graph consisting of two cycles: a 12cycle (x1, x2, ..., x12) and a 4-cycle (x1, x4, x7, x10). A dodecagon quadrangle system [DQS] of order v and index λ [DQSλ] is a pair Σ = (X,B), where X is a finite set of v vertices and B is a collection of edge disjoint dodecagon quadrangles (called blocks) which partitions the edge set of λKv, the complete multigraph with vert...

Let S be the (minimal) Enriques surface obtained from the symmetric quartic surface ( P i<j xixj) 2 = kx1x2x3x4 in P with k 6= 0, 4, 36, by taking quotient of the Cremona action (xi) 7→ (1/xi). The automorphism group of S is a semi-direct product of a free product F of four involutions and the symmetric group S4. Up to action of F , there are exactly 29 elliptic pencils on S. The automorphism g...
