samples with stalk rot, yellowing and stunting symptoms from maize fields in western provinces of iran were collected. after cultured of them on eosin methylen blue (emb) medium, twenty bacterial strains with metallic green color colonies on emb medium were selected for identification tests. according to the biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, these strains were identified as dickeya ze...

لقد أخذ مفهوم (الآخَر) مدياته من خلال الاتساع بمرور الزمن وتطور المجتمعات والمفاهيم العامة، فهو أعمق القول: "هذا آخَرُ، وهذه أُخْرَى"([i])، أو "بمعنى غَيْر"([ii])، بل بدأ يأخذ أصناف شتى حتى قيل: إنه "عدة أصناف، منه مَنْ يختلف في الدين، وفي العرق، اللون، المستوى الاجتماعي كالفقير والخادم والجارية وغيرهم"([iii])، مقاييس مختلفة "داخلية كالنساء بالقياس إلى الرجال، والفقراء الأغنياء، خارجية المجتمع بصورة أعم"...

During Leg 59 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, five sites (447 to 451) were occupied and seven holes drilled between Okinawa and Guam in the Philippine Sea (Fig. 1). All holes except Hole 447 yielded common calcareous nannoplankton at certain intervals cored. Nannoplankton assemblages and their age assignments will be discussed for each site, and fossil lists for selected samples from Holes 44...

BACKGROUND AQ4N (1,4-bis[[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] amino]-5,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9, 10-dione bis-N-oxide dihydrochloride) is a prodrug which is selectively activated within hypoxic tissues to AQ4, a topoisomerase II inhibitor and DNA intercalator. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the phase I study, 22 patients with oesophageal carcinoma received an i.v. infusion of AQ4N (22.5-447 mg/m(2)) followed, 2 ...

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) control neuronal synaptic function; however, little is known about the synaptic substrates regulated by MAPKs. A phosphopeptide library incorporating the MAPK consensus motif (PX(pS/pT)P where pS is phosphoserine and pT is phosphothreonine) was used to raise a phosphospecific antibody that detected MAPK-mediated phosphorylation. The antibody (termed "55...

The role of mecA mutations in conferring resistance to ceftobiprole and ceftaroline, cephalosporins with anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) activity, was determined with MRSA strains COL and SF8300. The SF8300 ceftaroline-passaged mutant carried a single mecA mutation, E447K (E-to-K change at position 447), and expressed low-level resistance. This mutation in COL conferred ...
