To clarify the functional differences among G-proteins, we investigated the localization of Gi and G, in the olfactory bulb of rats by both immunohistochemical and immunochemical techniques, using purified antibodies specific to the e-subunits of Gi, (G,,a), G, (G,,a), and G, (G,a), respectively. We found that G,,a is localized exclusively in the accessory olfactory bulb, but it is present at o...

the laelapid mite, gaeolaelapsaculeifer (canestrini) is widespread in soil habitats and feeds on different small arthropods, fungi and nematodes. the development and fecundity of g. aculeifer feeding on rhizoglyphus echinopus (fumouze & robin) as prey was studied at eight different constant temperatures which include: 16, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30 and 32.5 ºc, with relative humidity of 6...

Meta-envy-free means there is no envy on role assignments, that is, no party wants to exchange his/her role in the protocol with the one of any o...
