| Multicarrier CDMA and direct sequence CDMA have been suggested for both narrowband and broadband multiple access systems. A series of concepts have further been proposed for variable rate broadband multimedia transmission within a CDMA system. These principally diierent techniques exhibit certain common characteristics that can be exploited. In this paper we propose a generalised unifying dis...

In rice, limited efforts have been made to identify genes by the use of insertional mutagens, especially heterologous transposons such as the maize Ac/Ds. We constructed Ac and gene trap Ds vectors and introduced them into the rice genome by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this report, rice plants that contained single and simple insertions of T-DNA were analysed in order to evaluate ...

Immunogold labeling was used to localize the core protein of small dermatan sulfate proteoglycan (DS-PG) on the surface of cultured human fibroblasts. At 4 degrees C, DS-PG core protein was uniformly distributed over the cell surface. At 37 degrees C, gold particles either became rearranged in form of clusters or remained associated with fibrils. Double-label immunocytochemistry indicated the c...

For the site-specific labeling and modification of RNA by genetic alphabet expansion, we developed a PCR and transcription system using two hydrophobic unnatural base pairs: 7-(2-thienyl)-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ds) and 2-nitro-4-propynylpyrrole (Px) as a third pair for PCR amplification and Ds and pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (Pa) for the incorporation of functional components as modified Pa bases i...

Blood pressure (BP) is more salt sensitive in men than in premenopausal women. In Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS), high-salt (HS) diet increases BP more in males than females. In contrast to the systemic renin-angiotensin system, which is suppressed in response to HS in male DS, intrarenal angiotensinogen expression is increased, and intrarenal levels of ANG II are not suppressed. In this study, ...

OBJECTIVE To compare two distalizing devices supported by palatal miniscrews, the MGBM System (MGBM) and the Distal Screw appliance (DS), in dental Class II patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pretreatment (T1) and postdistalization (T2) lateral cephalograms of 53 Class II malocclusion subjects were examined. MGBM consisted of 29 patients (16 males, 13 females) with a mean pretreatment age of 12....

Neuronal cytoskeletal abnormalities may be a common factor in the neurobiologic causes of diverse forms of mental deficiency including Down's syndrome (DS). MabN210 which recognizes the 210 kDa subunit of neurofilaments was applied to sections of autopsy-derived DS and control central nervous system tissue. The findings included precocious and possibly aberrant neurofilament antigen expression ...
