The multicopy suppressors of the snf1 defect, Msn2p and Msn4p transcription factors (Msn2/4p), activate genes through the stress-responsive cis element (CCCCT) in response to various stresses. This cis element is also the target for repression by the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-signaling pathway. We analyzed the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis pattern of protein synthesis of the msn2 msn4 double muta...

Let p be an odd prime, s,m be positive integers and Fpm be the finite field with p m elements. In this paper, we determine all constacyclic codes of length 4p over the finite commutative chain ring R = Fpm + uFpm with unity, where u 2 = 0. We also determine their dual codes and list some isodual constacyclic codes of length 4p over R.

Let p and 2p − 1 be prime powers and p ≡ 3 (mod 4). Then there exists a symmetric design with parameters (4p, 2p − p, p − p). Thus there exists a regular Hadamard matrix of order 4p. AMS classification numbers: 05B20, 05B05

We construct a polynomial-time algorithm that given a graph X with 4p vertices (p is prime), finds (if any) a Cayley representation of X over the group C2 × C2 × Cp. This result, together with the known similar result for circulant graphs, shows that recognising and testing isomorphism of Cayley graphs over an abelian group of order 4p can be done in polynomial time.

A graph is self-complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement. In this paper we prove that every forest of order 4p and size less than 3p is a subgraph of a self-complementary graph of order 4p with a cyclic self-complementary permutation. We also discuss some generalization of the main result.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of subconjunctival injections of combretastatin A-4 phosphate (CA-4P) prodrug treatment on tumor vasculature and growth in an animal model of hereditary retinoblastoma. METHODS Twenty-four, 12-week-old simian virus-40 T-antigen-positive mice received six subconjunctival CA-4P injections at doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg delivered at 72-hour intervals to the ...
