An experiment was carried out to study the effect of temperature on biology, oviposition and feeding behaviour as well as host preference of Epilachna beetle, Epilachna dodecastigma (Wied.) on eight varieties of brinjal, Solanum melongena Linn. from November, 2009 to June, 2010 maintaining controlled temperatures of 15oC, 25oC and 30oC using an incubator in the Department of Entomology, BAU, My...

© 2009 Sang-Woong Yoon et al. 601 ABSTRACT⎯This letter presents a high performance 2.4 GHz two-stage power amplifier (PA) operating in the temperature range from -30C to +85C for IEEE 802.11g, wireless local area network application. It is implemented in InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor technology and has a bias circuit employing a temperature compensation technique for error vecto...

Bifidobacterium longum and Streptomyces peucetius are two totally different bacterial species with respect to environmental conditions and process objective. These were used as model organisms in this study. The objective of the B. longum process was to produce viable biomass suitable for use as food additive. The objective of the S. peucetius process was to produce a medically significant comp...

Silkworm rearing is an applied science based on theory of anatomical physiology of silkworm and silk worm diseases. With an ultimate aim of producing more and better quantity and quality of silk (a natural protein fiber) and to expand the areas for its production country wise regions, many strains have been introduced date to date. A new strain of silkworm (K2) was evaluated to include it in th...

We aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanism of microRNA-30c (miR-30c) in the pathological development of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The serum levels of miR-30c in hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier Xinjiang Uygur patients with inactive, low-replicative, high-replicative and HBe antigen-positive CHB were investigated. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with pHBV1.3 and miR-30c mimic or in...

Pollen germination of Vitis vinifera L., of the family Vitaceae was examined in fresh and stored pollen upto 48 weeks at different temperature i.e., refrigerator (+4C), freezer (-20C, -30C) and freeze drier (-60C). Pollen stored at low temperature showed better germination percentage as compared to pollen stored at +4C and fresh. Freeze dried pollen (-60C) showed the highest germination percent...

MicroRNA-30c (miR-30c) has been reported to be a tumour suppressor in endometrial cancer (EC). We demonstrate that miR-30c is down-regulated in EC tissue and is highly expressed in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative HEC-1-B cells. MiR-30c directly inhibits MTA-1 expression and functions as a tumour suppressor via the miR-30c-MTA-1 signalling pathway. Furthermore, miR-30c is decreased upon E2 treat...
