Gaoyou duck (Chinese indigenous breed) is famous for double-yolked egg. In the present study, SNP of prolactin (PRL) gene intron 1 of Gaoyou duck was detected by PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing. The results indicated that there were 2 Dra I recognition sites in intron 1 of the PRL gene, but only 1 was of polymorphism. A T/C mutation at the position of the 1326 bp of the PRL gene was found by DNA se...

Voltage sag compensator is very important in power quality. Its performance also depends on the types of sag detection techniques used. Sag detection technique determines the dynamic performance of a voltage-sag compensator. Many techniques have been introduced to measure and to detect voltage sag, such as RMS-Value Evaluation and Peak-Value Evaluation. Unfortunately, most of the techniques req...

Suitable voltage sag objectives are not yet found in any standard document. One of the reasons for the lack of objectives is the difficulty of defining suitable site sag indices. In this paper present sag characterisation methods are reviewed and discussed. The University of Wollongong sag index is summarized which shows a better way of characterizing voltage sags. A new method is then given fo...

Contractile properties and conduction velocity were studied in 202 single motor units of intact rat triceps surae muscles activated by intra-axonal (or intra-myelin) current injection in L5 or L6 ventral root to assess the factors that determine the expression of sag (i.e., decline in force after initial increase during unfused tetanic stimulation). Sag was consistently detected in motor units ...

Custom Power devices like Dynamic voltage restorer and STATCOM are normally employed as a solution for mitigation of power quality problems like voltage sag and swell. In this paper new voltage sag compensators based on an autotransformer and an IGBT switched by PWM technique and Hysteresis Voltage Control (HVC) method are compared. These two schemes are able to recognize the voltage sag condit...

SAG (salivary agglutinin), which is identical to gp-340 (glycoprotein-340) from the lung, is encoded by DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumours 1). It is a member of the SRCR (scavenger receptor cysteine-rich) superfamily and contains 14 SRCR domains, 13 of which are highly similar. SAG in saliva is partially complexed with IgA, which may be necessary for bacterial binding. The goal of the pr...

An experimental system to explore central tolerance in humans is unavailable. However, the human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) region on chromosome 1 provides an excellent model: HERV-K18 encodes a superantigen (SAg) stimulating Vbeta7CD4 T cells that is implicated in type 1 diabetes and Epstein-Barr virus persistence. In this study, we have addressed thymic HERV-K18 SAg expression, the...

Previously, through a proteomic analysis, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was found to be overexpressed in the sodium antimony gluconate (SAG)-resistant clinical isolate compared to that in the SAG-sensitive clinical isolate of Leishmania donovani. The present study was designed to explore the potential role of the PCNA protein in SAG resistance in L. donovani. For this purpose, the p...

in this research, the efficiency of the comminution circuit as well as the efficiency of size classification equipment of the concentrator plant 2 of sarcheshmeh copper complex was studied. the comminution circuit of this plant includes one sag mill in a closed circuit with a vibrating screen and one ball mill with a size classification system of hydrocyclone. the goal of this work was to calcu...

This study aims to identify favorable oil–gas reservoir facies in the Chishan group of the Wubao fault zone (Gaoyou sag, Subei basin, China) using the methods of outcrops and cores observation, granularity analysis, scanning electron microscope, log data, etc. The results suggest that the Chishan group in the studied area mainly develops desert sedimentary system, and contains five kinds of fac...
