Cis-spliced acceptors can be converted to trans-splicing acceptors if the donor site upstream is mutated, and similarly an SL addition site will be cis-spliced if a donor site is inserted upstream. What is the function of SL trans-splicing? SL addition provides the cell with an alternative way of capping mRNAs, a modification required for mRNA stability, transport and translation. The standard ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antimicrobials on the survival and proliferation of Listeria monocytogenes in turkey breast rolls following electron-beam irradiation. Six antimicrobial additive treatments that include no preservatives (control), 0.1% potassium benzoate (PB), 2% sodium lactate (SL), 0.1% potassium benzoate plus 2% sodium lactate (PB + SL), 2% sodium la...

A major bottleneck in the development of practical spoken language (SL) applications is the interface between the SL system and back-end application software. In theory, the range of potential back-end software for an SL interface is unlimited, but integration of an SL system with other software requires adapting the SL system to conform to the input formats of the back end. This is typically a...

Ten normal adult subjects were tested under a wide range of combinations of stride length and stride frequency. Both longitudinal and vertical accelerations of the body increased with velocity, while stride frequency to stride length ratio (SF/SL) had little effect. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the forward velocity (V) decreased with SF/SL, but at constant SF/SL remained essentially unchanged ...
