Analysis of crop genetic diversity and structure provides valuable information needed to broaden the narrow genetic base as well as to enhance the breeding and conservation strategies of crops. In this study, 95 Austrian and Belgian wheat cultivars maintained at the Centre for Genetic Resources (CGN) in the Netherlands were characterised using 1052 diversity array technology (DArT) markers to e...

This study is based on a careful analysis of high-quality reflection seismic sections located at the tip NW South China Sea V-shaped rift basin. Using CGN-1 section, line imaging complete sedimentary and magmatic architecture conjugate rifted margins, we: (1) provide detailed description crustal architecture; (2) define extensional domains, which we relate to specific deformation phases; (3) de...

This study examines the mineralogy, texture, and weathering grades of intrusive igneous rocks from northern Pakistan, as well their impacts on physical strength properties. In comparison to felsic rocks, mafic intermediate have lower cumulative proportions quartz, feldspar, plagioclase, higher specific gravity, (i.e., UCS R-value), UPV values. Similarly, samples with anhedral grain shapes, irre...

During thèKongreû fu È r Nephrologie 2000' (2±5 September 2000, Vienna, Austria) a pre-congressional symposium was held. The ®rst speaker was Ariela Benigni from Bergamo, Italy. As she said, exogenous endothelin 1 (Et-1) infusion reduces the renal plasma ¯ow (RPF) by approximately 25% at doses which do not yet alter systemic blood pressure (MAP). The effect of Et-1 on RPF is mediated by constri...

Paracingulin is an M(r) 150-160 kDa cytoplasmic protein of vertebrate epithelial tight and adherens junctions and comprises globular head, coiled-coil rod, and globular tail domains. Unlike its homologous tight junction protein cingulin, paracingulin has been implicated in the control of junction assembly and has been localized at extrajunctional sites in association with actin filaments. Here ...

Low glucose condition induces neuronal cell-death via intracellular mechanisms including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways. It has been shown that low glucose medium decreases neuronal survival in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). In this study, we have examined the activation of JNK, p38kinase and ERK1/2 pathways in low glucose medium in CGNs. The CGNs were prepared ...

Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae that produce species-specifically structured cell walls made of SiO(2) (silica). Formation of the intricate silica structures of diatoms is regarded as a paradigm for biomolecule-controlled self-assembly of three-dimensional, nano- to microscale-patterned inorganic materials. Silica formation involves long-chain polyamines and phosphoproteins (silaffins and sil...

Short text is ambiguous and often relies predominantly on the domain context at hand in order to attain semantic relevance. Existing classification models perform poorly short due data sparsity inadequate context. Auxiliary context, which can provide sufficient background regarding domain, typically available several application scenarios. While some of existing works aim leverage real-world kn...

Epithelial cells characteristically have noncentrosomal microtubules that are arranged in the apicobasal direction. In this paper, we examined cell sheets formed by an epithelial (Eph4) cell line by structure illumination microscopy and found a previously not clearly described planar apical network of noncentrosomal microtubules (MTs) in which the sides of the MT bundles were associated with ti...
