Mtl1 is a member of a cell wall sensor family that monitors cell wall integrity in budding yeast. In response to cell wall stress, Mtl1 activates the cell wall integrity (CWI) MAP kinase pathway which transmits this signal to the nucleus to effect changes in gene expression. One target of the CWI MAP kinase is cyclin C, a negative regulator of stress response genes. CWI activation results in cy...

This paper presents findings from an experimental study investigating the secondary atomization of liquid fuel droplets widely used in heat and power industry exemplified by oil environmentally promising oil/water emulsion. The scientific novelty comes comparative analysis critical conditions integral characteristics composite fuels with greatest potential for plants. Here, we two schemes: drop...

The mitotic checkpoint prevents mitotic exit until all chromosomes are attached to spindle microtubules. Aurora B kinase indirectly invokes this checkpoint by destabilizing incorrect attachments; however, a more direct role remains controversial. In contrast, activity of the kinase Mps1 is indispensible for the mitotic checkpoint. Here we show that Aurora B and Hec1 are needed for efficient Mps...

AIM Genetic data were used to measure the phylogeographic distribution of the limpet, Cellana toreuma along the China coast in order to acsertain impacts of historic events, ocean currents and especially freshwater discharge from the Yangtze River on the connectivity of intertidal species with limited larval dispersal capability. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Genetic variation in 15 populati...

We give an elementary physical derivation of the Kontsevich-Soibelman wall crossing formula, valid for any theory with a 4d N = 2 supergravity description. Our argument leads to a slight generalization of the formula, which relates monodromy to the BPS spectrum.

Aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. In this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Bioactive compounds of b...

We describe a new algorithm for comparing braid words, and establish some order properties for the braid groups which are connected with left distributive operations. Abridged English Version. We apply to braids some tools used in the study of left distributive operations (c.f. [2]). The results deal with special decompositions of braid words. One describes a new quadratic algorithm for compari...

Sungun Copper Mine is located in an area with a high level of seismic hazard. Most recently, the Ahar-Varzeqan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 on Richter scale occurred on August 11, 2012; at a distance about 40 kilometers away from the mine. Nevertheless, the seismic stability of the final pit wall has not been comprehensively reviewed. In this research, the southwestern wall of the final p...

Ethylene production and cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) biosynthesis are greatly enhanced in melon (Cucumin melo cv. Cantaloup charentais) seedlings infected with Colletotrichum lagenarium. Short-term experiments performed in the presence of specific inhibitors of the ethylene pathway from methionine, namely l-canaline and amino-ethoxyvinylglycine, indicate that under non-toxi...
