Blue mold is the vernacular name of a common postharvest disease of stored apples, pears, and quince that is caused by several common species of Penicillium This study reports the draft genome sequence of Penicillium expansum strain R21, which was isolated from a red delicious apple in 2011 in Pennsylvania.

Four new cases of ring G chromosomes are presented including one family in which the ring 21 is present in a mother and in her daughter, who has 47, XXX, r(21) chromosomes. The clinical and dermatoglyphic findings in r21 and r22 syndromes are reviewed.

The phenomenon of nuclear isoscaling is studied under the premise of probability sampling. We show that isoscaling is expected in all cases of disassembly through fair sampling, obtain exact expressions for the yield ratio R21 and further show that the previously power law observed in experimental data is only an approximation to exact expression. Comparison to percolation and experimental data...

Using a repeat sales data set, this paper tests whether a single small seller can influence the selling price of their house. We find that this influence exists and that it dominates the influence of commonly-used market conditions. Since the estimated magnitude of this effect is much higher than expected, we verify the estimate using several supplementary tests. JEL: C78, D80, R21, R31

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of whey supplementation, as compared to the standard casein diet, on the recovery of muscle functional properties after a casting-induced immobilization period. After an initial (I0) evaluation of the contractile properties of the plantarflexors (isometric torque-frequency relationship, concentric power-velocity relationship and a fatigabi...

The responsiveness of house prices to monetary policy shocks depends on the nature shock—expansionary versus contractionary—and local housing supply elasticities. These findings are established using a panel 263 US metropolitan areas. Expansionary have larger impact in supply-inelastic Contractionary orthogonal In supply-elastic areas, contractionary greater than expansionary do. opposite holds...
