We report novel observational evidence on the evolutionary status of lithium-rich giant stars by combining asteroseismic and lithium abundance data. Comparing observations models gravity-mode period spacing $\Delta\Pi_{1}$, we find that super-Li-rich giants (SLR, A(Li)~$> 3.2$~dex) are almost exclusively young red-clump (RC) stars. Depending exact phase evolution, which requires more data to re...

INTRODUCTION Group A streptococci (GAS) is responsible of several human diseases ranging from mild infection to severe invasive toxin-mediated disease and post-infectious sequelae. Accordingly, a GAS surveillance program based on molecular techniques is advisable for its epidemiological control. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the gold standard for GAS molecular subtyping, but a majo...

Three lignin peroxidase (LiP) genes from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium were cloned on a single 30 kb cosmid insert. One gene, GLG5, is the genomic equivalent of a previously reported cDNA clone, CLG5. The other two LiP genes are transcriptionally convergent and map to a position approximately 15 kb downstream of GLG5. The translational stop codons of these genes are separated by...

ness of Indexes Although cases are specific, indexes to cases need to be chosen so that the case can be used in as broad a selection of situations as appropriate. Often, this approach means indexes should be more abstract than the details of a particular case. Consider, for example, a case from CHEF (Hammond 1986, 1989). CHEF just created a recipe for beef and broccoli, a stir-fried dish. When ...

Nutrition therapy as part of lifestyle care is recommended for people with type 2 diabetes. However, most people with diabetes do not follow this guideline. Changing eating habits involves obtaining knowledge and building practical skills such as shopping, meal preparation, and food storage. Just as fitness coaches use their specific knowledge base in fitness to enhance the effectiveness of the...

Hybridization to genomic DNA fractionated by CHEF electrophoresis can vary >100-fold if the DNA is acid depurinated prior to Southern blotting. The level of hybridization is high or low depending on whether the molecule being analyzed migrates at a size coincident with or different from the size of the majority of genomic DNA in the sample, respectively. Techniques that avoid acid depurination ...
