The coccoid cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis dominates microbial communities in the most extreme arid hot and cold deserts. These communities withstand constraints that result from multiple cycles of drying and wetting and/or prolonged desiccation, through mechanisms which remain poorly understood. Here we describe the first system for genetic manipulation of Chroococcidiopsis. Plasmids pDUCA7 ...

We report the serendipitous discovery of several unresolved X-ray sources lying in the prominent spiral arms of the galaxy KUG 0214-057 in XMM-Newton observations. The location of these X-ray sources strongly suggests that at least three, and possibly four, of these may be physically related to the galaxy. The luminosity of each of these sources at the distance of KUG 0214-057 is > 5 × 10 39 er...

The few known γ-ray binary systems are all associated with variable radio and Xray emission. The TeV source HESS J0632+057, apparently associated with the Be star MWC148, is plausibly a new member of this class. Following the identification of a variable X-ray counterpart to the TeV source we conducted GMRT and VLA observations in June-September 2008 to search for the radio counterpart of this ...

This study evaluated the mechanical strength correlated to percentage of total volume weld and porosities Co-Cr alloy joints welded with TIG technique. Thirty specimens were perpendicularly sectioned long-axis rejoined by using X30-shaped joint design welding. They divided into 3 groups (n=10): CG1 a 60-A depth 90-ms pulse; CG2 120-ms pulse CG3 160-ms pulse. The submitted nondestructive tests: ...

Requirements are specified for the barrel and endcap Muon Trigger Track-Finders to ensure efficient coverage of the overlap region between the barrel and endcap muon systems and to avoid duplication of triggers. 1) Partially supported by the Polish Committee for Scientific Research under grant KBN 115/E-343/SPUB/P03/057/98.

Skin is a unique target for vaccination. Targeting keratinocytes to produce proinflammatory mediators improve immunity rational approach vaccine design. Keratinocytes genetically engineered overexpress the stress response related transcription factor x-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) increased production of and co-delivered antigen. Keratinocyte-specific overexpression XBP1 through cutaneous genet...
