The classification and nomenclature of retrotransposable elements is reviewed. A comparison is made between the initial classification summarized in Capy et al. (1997b), and the more recent proposal based on the classificat...

Field experiment was carried out with five selected mustard cultivars during November 2007 to February 2008 under old alluvial soil in the Crop Research and seed Multiplication Farm of Burdwan University, Burdwan, West Bengal, India in randomized block design replicated thrice. Various growth parameters viz., length of shoot and root, number of primary branches per plant, length of siliquae, di...

In recent years, the fabrication of bulk materials with ultra fine grain sized materials processed by SPD methods. Different techniques have been used to introduce large plastic strains in to bulk metals such as Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) [1-3], Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) [4-7], Repetitive Corrugation and Straitening (RCS) [8,9], Constrained Groove Pressing (CGP) [5] and Constra...

The carbohydrate contents of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important industrial factor for crystal sugar or bioethanol production. In this study the relationship between growth analysis and carbohydrate contents were studied to recognize the best growth stages for sweet sorghum harvesting. Five sweet sorghum cultivars and four sweet sorghum lines were evaluated for leaf area i...

As previously reported, high temperature- and high pressure-treated red ginseng (HRG) contain higher contents of phenolic compounds and protect C2C12 muscle cells and 3T3-L1 adipocytes against oxidative stress. This study investigated the effect of HRG on oxidative stress using a mouse model. Our results show that the levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase...

Transcriptionally regulated growth-response genes play a pivotal role in the determination of the fate of a cell.p53 is known to transcriptionally regulate genes important in regulating cell growth potential. Using differ ential reverse transcription-PCR analysis of rat embryo fibroblast cells containing a temperature-sensitive p53 allele, we were able to isolate several transcripts up-regulate...

We present a dual-hop relayed wireless communication system where the gain of the relay, called combined gain relay (CGR), is produced after combining the channel state information from both hops, depending on the mean hop's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The proposed scheme can be efficiently applied in dual-hop transmissions with unbalanced mean SNRs due to the long-term fading effects produced...
