background: trichophyton tonsurans is one of the dermatophyte fungi which invades the skin and hair of human. several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far. however a few studies were carried out in the field of molecular biology of this fungus. in the present study, we tried to identify the squalene epoxidase gene which is related to synthesis of ergosterol in this fungus. me...

Understanding the distribution of genetic variations and accession structures is an important factor for managing genetic resources, but also for using proper germplasm in association map analyses and breeding programs. The globe artichoke is the fourth most important horticultural crop in Europe. Here, we report the results of a molecular analysis of a collection including globe artichoke and ...

internal audit is a process affected by an entity ‘s board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives relating to operations, reporting and compliance. this definition reflects certain fundamental concepts. internal control is: • geared to achievement of objectives in one or more categories operations, repor...

Methanotrophic populations have been studied in Newport Bay estuary, Southern California. Environmental clone banks were generated for 16S rRNA genes specific to methanotrophs and for a diagnostic functional gene, pmoA, encoding a conserved subunit of the particulate methane monooxygenase. These clone banks contained sequences specific to types I and II methanotrophs typically found in aquatic ...

MOTIVATION With the advent of genome sequencing, a huge database of protein primary sequences has been accumulating. In parallel, a number of tools to investigate and expand upon this information, e.g. reconstructing and building relationships between protein families and superfamilies, have been developed. Metalloproteins are proteins capable of binding one or more metal ions, which are requir...

with change technology and globalization process, financial bazaars has accost with competitive pressure for improve performance. a way to address such circumstance is through privatization. therefore, present study tries to evaluate and compare the financial performance of public and private commercial banks between 2006 through 2009 by using the constituents of camel model. statistical sample...

The aim of this paper is to examine whether herd behavior exists or not between di®erent types of Japanese banks. Using data of loans outstanding by types of banks from 1980 to 2000, we investigate statistical causality between loans from di®erent types of banks in Japan. Time-series analysis manifested the causality from city banks to regional banks, from long-term credit banks to city banks, ...

The high-yield varieties ‘Banks’ and ‘Cybonnet’, released to seed growers during 2004, contain the Pi-ta R gene used in blast-resistant varieties for over 16 years. While Cybonnet fields were blast free, severe blast disease developed in drought-stressed Banks growing in a sandy production field in Clay County during 2004 and then again in sandy fields throughout Arkansas during 2005 and 2006. ...
