Angiosperm plastid genomes are generally conserved in gene content and order with rates of nucleotide substitutions for protein-coding genes lower than for nuclear protein-coding genes. A few groups have experienced genomic change, and extreme changes in gene content and order are found within the flowering plant family Geraniaceae. The complete plastid genome sequence of Pelargonium X hortorum...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of reservoir bag types, volumes and previous use on peak pressures (Pmax) times to develop 30 cmH2O pressure (P30) within a nonrebreathing system with closed adjustable pressure-limiting (APL) valve. Study design In vitro study using three-way factorial repeated measure one factor. Subjects A total 75 new anesthesia bags (five three volumes, five fro...

Site-specific histopathology features have been reported for acral, auricular, flexural, and genital melanocytic nevi, however, to the best of our knowledge, site- and sex-specific histology of dysplastic nevi on the lower leg (between knee and ankle) of women (DN-LW) has not been reported. In this retrospective histopathology study, we compared DN-LW (N = 42) with appropriate control groups of...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most frequent complications associated with type I and II diabetes mellitus. Kidneys from patients with DN are characterized by mesangial matrix expansion and increased thickness of the glomerular basement membrane, which are induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Previous studies have been conducted to investigate this; however, the detaile...

Carbonyl reductase (CBR) catalyzes the reduction of daunorubicin (DN) to its corresponding alcohol, daunorubicinol (DNOL), and changes the pharmacological properties of this cancer chemotherapeutic drug. The DN reductase associated with CBR reduces the C13 methyl ketone group and does not metabolize the quinone ring of DN. Reports comparing DN and DNOL toxicity have resulted in various conclusi...

Moisture transfer characteristics of dambu-nama (DN) as influenced by addition citric acid, salt and sugar hurdles were investigated. Four products comprising DN with 0.1% acid + 2% (DNC0.1); DN+ 0.2% (DNC0.2); 0.3% +2% (DNC0.3) a control without , or (DNC0) produced subjected to moisture sorption studies at different temperatures (30, 40, 50 60oC) relative humidities of(10-96%). Incorporation ...

Todo grupo finito G actúa como grupo de automorfismos de diversas superficies de Klein con borde. Al menor de los géneros algebraicos de estas superficies se le llama género real ρ(G) del grupo G. Se conocen todos los grupos con 0 ≤ ρ(G) ≤ 8, aśı como el género real para varias familias de grupos. En este trabajo calculamos el género real de los grupos G = C2m × Dn, en función de los números m ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health concern worldwide and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Type 2 DM is associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is characterized by proteinuria, is one of the most serious long-term microvascular complications of DM. The proportion of DN is increasing worldwide. DN is the leading c...

A great challenge in the analysis of the discrepancy function DN is to obtain universal lower bounds on the L∞ norm of DN in dimensions d ≥ 3. It follows from the L2 bound of Klaus Roth that ‖DN‖∞ ≥ ‖DN‖2 & (logN)(d−1)/2. It is conjectured that the L∞ bound is significantly larger, but the only definitive result is that of Wolfgang Schmidt in dimension d = 2. Partial improvements of the Roth ex...
