This note demonstrates identification of Unconditional Partial Effects introduced by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2009) in nonseparable triangular models with endogenous regressors via a control variable approach, as employed by Imbens and Newey (2009). JEL Classification: C14, C31

The concise enantioselective synthesis of the revised C1-C31 fragment of the polyketide amphidinol 3 was accomplished in 16 steps and 12.8% overall yield. Salient features of the strategy include chemoselective Weinreb amide coupling and concomitant CBS reduction for the preparation of the C1-C15 tris-syn-1,5-diol motif and a temporary silicon-tethered ring-closing metathesis (TST-RCM) reaction...

RNA polymerase (Pol) III is responsible for the transcription of genes encoding small RNAs, including tRNA, 5S rRNA and U6 RNA. Here, we report the electron cryomicroscopy structures of yeast Pol III at 9.9 Å resolution and its elongation complex at 16.5 Å resolution. Particle sub-classification reveals prominent EM densities for the two Pol III-specific subcomplexes, C31/C82/C34 and C37/C53, t...

Site-specific recombinase systems (Cre-loxP, Flp-FRT, and phi C31-att) are transforming both forward and reverse genetics in mice. By enabling high-fidelity DNA modifications to be induced in vitro or in vivo, these systems have incited a wave of new biology, advancing our understanding of gene function, genetic relationships, development, and disease.

Spatial and temporal variations of reproduction variables the two cyclopoid copepods Oithona nana Giesbrecht, 1893 similis Claus, 1866 were evaluated monthly from September 2007 to August 2008 in four ponds at different salinities solar saltern Sfax, Tunisia, under hypersaline conditions.

One of the difficulties in reporting accurate radiocarbon results from compoundspecific radiocarbon analysis (CSRA) is the lack of suitable process standard materials to correct for the amount and C content of carbon added during extensive sample processing. We evaluated the use of n-alkanes extracted from modern grass material (1.224 ±0.006 fraction modern) as process standards for CSRA. The n...

We estimated dry matter digestibility and intake (DMI) in wapiti hinds using the double n-alkane method. We also assessed intra-ruminal controlled-release devices (CRD) for administering n-alkane markers C32 and C36. Nine wapiti hinds were offered alfalfa-based compounded diet for ad libitum consumption and actual DMI was measured daily (mean: 9.2 1.6 kg DM/day). The DMI estimate for C33:C32 (9...
