Convection-permitting climate modelling is a promising avenue for change research and services especially in mountainous regions. Work required to evaluate the results of high-resolution simulations against relevant observations, put them broader context coarser resolution frameworks. Here we numerical with convection-permitting regional model CNRM-AROME ran at 2.5 km horizontal over large pan-...

We demonstrate that four different proteins from calf thymus are able to restore splicing in the same splicing-deficient extract using several different pre-mRNA substrates. These proteins are members of a conserved family of proteins recognized by a monoclonal antibody that binds to active sites of RNA polymerase II transcription. We purified this family of nuclear phosphoproteins to apparent ...

Phrynocephalus przewalskii is one kind of lizards inhabiting inclusively in the desert that has controversial viewpoints on its phylogeny. Based on mitochondrial ND2 gene of 119 samples from 12 geographic populations, we analyzed the effects of environmental factors on the variation of genetic diversity, as well as its relationship to P. versicolor. The results showed that these populations clu...

Pretreatment of recipients with the monoclonal antibody (MoAb) S5 facilitates engraftment of bone marrow from mismatched, unrelated donors in the canine transplantation model. In the direct comparisons reported here, the S5 glycoprotein (gp) was found to have structural homology to CD44 that in humans has been implicated in adhesive interactions of one type of effector cell, the lymphocyte. The...

In the present work, two biochemical approaches were used to characterize PAGs isolated from Bos indicus fetal cotyledons removed at different gestational ages. The first procedure included acidic and ammonium sulfate precipitations, anion and cation exchange chromatographies and the second included pepstatin-agarose affinity chromatography. A bovine PAG radioimmunoassay was used to monitor the...

In the present review, attempts have been made to analyze the metallurgical, mechanical, and corrosion properties of commercial marine alloy duplex stainless steel AISI 2205 with special reference to its weldability, machinability, and surfacing. In the first part, effects of various fusion and solid-state welding processes on joining DSS 2205 with similar and dissimilar metals are addressed. M...

Optimal (NH(4))(2)SO(4) concentrations were sought for serum fractionation in order to obtain the gamma globulin as free as possible from other serum components while maintaining a reasonable recovery. Various ammonium sulfate concentrations were used to fractionate sera from mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, chimpanzees, swine, chicken, and cattle. All precipitates and supernatants were an...

In order to extract the polysaccharide B of brucella used in Radial Immunodiffusion test (RID) for detection of infected cattle, a quick, simple and safe method is proposed. It consists of using phenol killed cells of B. melitensis 16 M known to produce polysaccharide B. After autoclaving brucella cells resuspended in saline, the cells are separated by centrifugation and the polysaccharide B is...

A simple and rapid procedure for the preparation of M13 single stranded DNA sequencing templates which does not involve phenol extractions and alcohol precipitations is described. Bacteriophages are precipitated from media supernatants with acetic acid and recovered on glass fiber filters. Subsequent dissociation of the phages and removal of contaminants is performed while the DNA is bound to t...
