to investigate the changes in yield and yield components of dry land wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv agosta), under the influence of residue and nitrogen levels and different tillage practices, a field experiment was conducted during the 2006-2007 growing season, in the agricultural research station of the college of agriculture, shiraz university, iran. the experiment was designed as a split-sp...

AAA+ proteins (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) are oligomeric ATPases that use ATP hydrolysis to remodel their substrates. By similarity with GTPases, a dynamic organization of the nucleotide-binding pockets between ATPase protomers is proposed to regulate functionality. Using the transcription activator PspF as an AAA+ model, we investigated contributions of conserved resi...

There are many functions of the degree sequence of a graph which give lower bounds on the independence number of the graph. In particular, for every graph G, α(G) ≥ R(d(G)), where R is the residue of the degree sequence of G. We consider the precision of this estimate when it is applied to semi-regular degree sequences. We show that the residue nearly always gives the best possible estimate on ...

We prove that any set of integers A ⊂ [1, x] with |A| (log x)r lies in at least νA(p) p r r+1 many residue classes modulo most primes p (log x)r+1. (Here r is a positive constant.) This generalizes a result of Erdős and Ram Murty, who proved in connection with Artin’s conjecture on primitive roots that the integers below x which are multiplicatively generated by the coprime integers a1, . . . ,...

Single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) of anti-neuraminidase antibody NC10 were constructed by joining the VH and VL domains with 10-residue (Gly4Ser)2 and five-residue (Gly4Ser) linkers; a zero-residue linker scFv was constructed by joining the C-terminal residue of the VH domain to the N-terminus of the VL domain. The scFv with the 10- and five-residue linkers exclusively formed dimeric anti...

A finite system of residue classes is called a covering system if every integer belongs to one of the residue classes. Paul Erdős invented this concept and initiated the study of this fascinating topic. On the basis of known connections between covering systems and unit fractions, the speaker recently found that covering systems are closely related to zerosum problems on abelian groups (another...

Taking the Fibonacci sequence G0 = 1; G1 = b 2 f1; 3; 5g and Gn+1 = 3 Gn + Gn 1 (n 1) with an integer 2 m 2 N , we get a purely periodic sequence fGn( mod m)g. Consider any shortest full period and form a frequency block Bm 2 N to consist of the frequency values of the residue d when d runs through the complete residue system modulo m. The purpose of this paper is to show that such frequency bl...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the response AC/A ratio could be altered when the subject's interpupillary distance (IPD) was optically halved. We measured the changes in the AC/A ratio for 10 subjects after using the optical device for 30 min. Accommodative response was measured using a Canon R-1 optometer, and vergence response was measured with an ASL 210 Eye Movement Moni...

Troponin I is the actomyosin ATPase inhibitory subunit present in the thin filament regulatory complex. The complete amino acid sequence of crayfish tail muscle troponin I has been determined. The protein is composed of 201 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of 23,547. The N terminus is blocked, likely by an acetyl group. Crayfish troponin I shows a rather low (20-25%) sequence iden...
