Bacterial centromeres-also called parS, are cis-acting DNA sequences which, together with the proteins ParA and ParB, are involved in the segregation of chromosomes and plasmids. The specific binding of ParB to parS nucleates the assembly of a large ParB/DNA complex from which ParA-the motor protein, segregates the sister replicons. Closely related families of partition systems, called Bsr, wer...

Vertical seismic profile (VSP) data from two drill sites on the Cascadia margin show low-velocity zones, indicative of free gas, beneath a bottom-simulating reflector (BSR). Offshore Oregon, at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 892, velocities drop from an average of 1750 m/s above the BSR to less than 1250 m/s below it. Sonic logs confirm that seismic velocity in the sediments adjacent to the ...

25 The optic disk is a region of the retina consisting mainly of ganglion cell axons and blood vessels, 26 which generates a visual scotoma known as the blind spot (BS). Information present in the 27 surroundings of the BS can be used to complete the missing information. However, the neuronal 28 mechanisms underlying these perceptual phenomena are poorly understood. We investigate the 29 topogr...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is an important short-season legume widely cultivated in Asia, particularly India. It highly susceptible to bruchids and developing bruchid resistance goal mungbean breeding programs. In the present study, 52 genotypes were evaluated for based on “no-choice test” identified two resistant (V2802BG V2709) with no adult emergence seed damage. Further, these crossed six hig...

We critically examined methods for recognizing species in the model filamentous fungal genus Neurospora by comparing traditional biological species recognition (BSR) with more comprehensive applications of both BSR and phylogenetic species recognition (PSR). Comprehensive BSR was applied to a set of 73 individuals by performing extensive crossing experiments and delineating biological species b...

Brown stem rot (BSR) of soybean [ (L.) Merr.] caused by (Allington & Chamb.) T.C. Harr. & McNew can be controlled effectively with genetic host resistance. Three BSR resistance genes , , and , have been identified and mapped to a large region on chromosome 16. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) will be more efficient and gene cloning will be facilitated with a narrowed genomic interval containing ...

We address the problem of super-resolution of point sources from binary measurements, where random projections of the blurred measurement of the actual signal are encoded using only the sign information. The threshold used for binary quantization is not known to the decoder. We develop an algorithm that solves convex programs iteratively and achieves signal recovery. The proposed algorithm, whi...

The special issue of Business Systems Research (SI of BSR) is co-published by the Slovenian Society INFORMATIKA – Section for Operational Research (SSI – SOR) and contains developments and new techniques in operations research (OR) models and their practical uses in various fields of business and economics. Seven papers that investigate developments and new techniques in operations research (OR...
