ABSTRACT Determining the amount of nutrients accumulated by crops is an important tool for defining order in which are taken up and required. However, vary depending on genetic characteristics cultivars, climatic conditions, fertilization, soil management systems. The aim this study was to evaluate influence irrigation strategies doses nitrogen (N) fertigation content accumulation macro micronu...

Albert Visser introduced five different categories of interpretations between theories INT0 (the category of synonymy), INT1 (the category of homotopy), INT2 (the category of weak homotopy), INT3 (the category of equivalence), and INT4 (the category of mutual interpretability) [Vis04]. The objects in these categories are first order theories, the morphisms are interpretations up to some level o...

In all metazoa, the response of cells to molecular stimuli from their environment represents a fundamental principle of regulatory processes controlling cell growth and differentiation. Among the membrane-linked receptors mediating extracellular communication processes are integrin receptors. Besides managing adhesion to the extracellular matrix or to other cells, they arrange information flow ...

Transposon Tn916 is a 16.4-kb broad-host-range conjugative transposon originally detected in the chromosome of Enterococcus faecalis DS16. Transposition of Tn916 and related transposons involves excision of a free, nonreplicative, covalently closed circular intermediate that is substrate for integration. Excisive recombination requires two transposon-encoded proteins, Xis-Tn and Int-Tn, whereas...

In metazoan integrin signaling is an important process of mediating extracellular and intracellular communication processes. This can be achieved by cooperation of integrins with growth factor receptors (GFRs). Schistosoma mansoni is a helminth parasite inducing schistosomiasis, an infectious disease of worldwide significance for humans and animals. First studies on schistosome integrins reveal...

Adiponectin is an adipose-derived hormone that enhances insulin sensitivity and plays an important role in regulating energy homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that the DNA encoding the first intron of the human adiponectin gene contains an intronic enhancer that regulates adiponectin gene expression in an adipose tissue-specific manner. Insertion of the DNA encoding the first intron into report...

The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1-3) and other genetic elements as antiseptic resistance gene (qacEΔ1) and class 1 and class 2 integrons (int1-2) in the upper layer of substrate and in the effluent of microcosm constructed wetlands (CWs) treating artificial wastewater containing diclofenac and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), which is a sulfonamide...

The writers are congratulated for developing analytical approximations to Einstein integrals herein INT1 and INT2 . It was stated by the writers in their technical note that these algorithms can be incorporated into professional hydraulic software, and the discussers agree on this. However, it is pointed out here that the calculation of INT1 and INT2 can be easily incorporated more directly by ...

The CRM domain is a recently recognized RNA binding domain found in three group II intron splicing factors in chloroplasts, in a bacterial protein that associates with ribosome precursors, and in a family of uncharacterized proteins in plants. To elucidate the functional repertoire of proteins with CRM domains, we studied CFM2 (for CRM Family Member 2), which harbors four CRM domains. RNA coimm...
