background: noninvasive techniques for the localization of the accessory pathways (aps) might help guide mapping procedures and ablation techniques. we sought to examine the diagnostic accuracy of strain imaging for the localization of the aps in wolff-parkinson-white syndrome. methods: w e prospectively studied 25 patients (mean age = 32 ± 17 years, 58.3% men) with evidence of pre-excitation o...

A gel bait-resistant Blattella germanica (L.) strain (Cincy) was collected in Cincinnati, OH, in 2003. This strain exhibited strong behavioral resistance to Avert (0.05% abamectin), Maxforce FC (0.01% fipronil), and Pre-Empt (2.15% imidacloprid) gel baits. Reciprocal mass crosses and back crosses between the Cincy strain and a susceptible strain (Jwax) were made and tested for their inheritance...

The stress–strain response of a Fe–17.5Mn–0.7C–2Al TWIP steel during cyclic loading has been investigated by means of tension–compression tests within the strain limits of 72%, 75% and 710%. In addition, the microstructural evolution during the 75% cyclic test has also been studied. The difference between the forward and reverse stress for each pre-strain has been analyzed at 0.2% offset strain...

A strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, defective in small subunit ribosomal RNA processing, has a mutation in YOR145c ORF that converts Gly235 to Asp. Yor145c is a nucleolar protein required for cell viability and has been reported recently to be present in 90S pre-ribosomal particles. The Gly235Asp mutation in YOR145c is found in a KH-type RNA-binding domain and causes a marked deficiency in 18...
