Background: The stress is one of main factors effects on production system. Several factors (both genetic and environmental elements) regulate immune response to stress. Objectives: In order to determine the major immune system regulatory genes underlying stress responses, a learning Bayesian network approach for those regulatory genes was applied to RNA-...

In a market system, regulations are designed to prevent or rectify market failures that inhibit fair exchange, such as monopoly or transactions with hidden costs. Because regulations reduce profits to those possessing unfair advantage, corporations (whether individuals, companies, or other collective organizations) are motivated to influence regulators. Regulatory bodies created to protect the ...

This study examines whether Russian farmers who enter regional politics can skew local policies in their favor. We hypothesize that regions with more members of parliament (MPs) owning agricultural businesses and farmer-ministers are likely to allocate higher subsidies. To test these hypotheses, we use a unique 2008–2015 panel dataset on subsidies combination qualitative data. find the pervasiv...

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are commonly recognized by correlative chromatin features, yet the molecular composition of the vast majority of CREs in chromatin remains unknown. Here, we describe a CRISPR affinity purification in situ of regulatory elements (CAPTURE) approach to unbiasedly identify locus-specific chromatin-regulating protein complexes and long-range DNA interactions. Using an ...

We study how the strength of property rights to individual extractive firms affects a regulator’s choice over exploitation rates for a natural resource. The regulator is modeled as an intermediary between current and future resource harvesters, rather than between producers and consumers, as in the traditional regulatory capture paradigm. When incumbent resource users have weak property rights,...

background: toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite which infects a broad range of hosts. the classical diagnosis of toxoplasmosis relies on serological methods. detection of parasite or its components could be useful tool for early diag­nosis of the infection. methods: fifty mice were infected by the intraperitoneal route with 5000 tachyzoites of t. gondii rh strain. five of them sacrifi...
