Heterosis is widely used in breeding, but the genetic basis of this biological phenomenon has not been elucidated. We postulate that additive and dominance genetic effects as well as two-locus interactions estimated in classical QTL analyses are not sufficient for quantifying the contributions of QTL to heterosis. A general theoretical framework for determining the contributions of different ty...

the sarcoglycanopathies (sgps) are a subgroup of autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophies (lgmds). they are caused by mutations in gamma, alpha, beta, and delta sarcoglycans (sgs) genes. alpha-sgps are the most frequent form of sgps. muscle biopsy studies in patients with sarcoglycanopathies have indicated that loss of one sg subunit leads to instability of whole sg complex.  autozy...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenicfungus that attacks more than 400 plant species of them medicinal plant. In this study the extract obtained from basal stalk rot of Helianthus annuus L., attacked by S. sclerotiorum, was subjected to the analysis of FTIR to identify the presence of beta-glucan. FT-IR spectrum showed four ranges of bands in 890 cm-1, two overlap band in 1047 and 1078 ...

Let$mathbb{C}^n$ be the space of $n$ complex variables. Let$Omega_{n,p_2,ldots,p_n}$ be a complete Reinhardt on$mathbb{C}^n$. The Minkowski functional on complete Reinhardt$Omega_{n,p_2,ldots,p_n}$ is denoted by $rho(z)$. The concept ofspirallike mapping of type $beta$ and order $alpha$ is defined.So, the concept of the strong and almost spirallike mappings o...

In this study, dynamic quantitative trait loci (QTL) were mapped in a recombinant inbred line (F2:4) population derived from a BF3109 x Q267 cross. This was done during the unconditional (4, 7, and 10 days) and conditional (0 to 4, 4 to 7, and 7 to 10 days) germination stages in sh2 sweet corn. The values of seedling dry weight, weight of mobilized seed reserve (WMSR), seed reserve depletion pe...

Using the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability method, weinvestigate isomorphisms in Banach algebras and derivations onBanach algebras associated with the following generalized additivefunctional inequalitybegin{eqnarray}|af(x)+bf(y)+cf(z)|  le  |f(alpha x+ beta y+gamma z)| .end{eqnarray}Moreover, we prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of homomorphismsin Banach algebras and of derivations on Banach ...

Aims Cardiometabolic diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease [CAD] and diabetes are known to associate with poorer cognitive ability but there are limited data on whether having more than one of these conditions is associated with additive effects. We aimed to quantify the magnitude of their associations with non-demented cognitive abilities and determine the extent to which these assoc...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Clinical trials have shown that combining beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors has an additive effect in reducing mortality in patients with left ventricular dysfunction following acute myocardial infarction. Whether this additive effect also occurs in unselected post-myocardial infarction patients is unknown. METHODS In total, 5397 pati...

One of the problems encountered in CE separations of basic compounds is the adsorption of analytes onto the negatively charged capillary wall which could lead to poor repeatability of migration time and peak area. Additionally, separation of enantiomers of chiral of basic drugs is commonly carried out in low pH buffer which contributes to strong ionic interaction of the cationic drug ions with ...
