The strain-specific modifier Ssm1 is responsible for the straindependent methylation of particular E. coli gpt-containing transgenic sequences.Here,we identifySsm1as theKRAB-zinc finger (ZF) gene 2610305D13Rik located ondistal chromosome4.Ssm1b is amember of a gene family with an unusual array of three ZFs. Ssm1 family members in C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2) mice have various amino acid changes ...

Cyclic stress strain curves (CSSC) response of Al-2024 Annealed condition was conducted under symmetric tension-compression at room temperature and constant frequency, using a servo-hydraulic testing machine, to study the effect of cooling rate on cyclic stress strain curves (CSSC) response. The fatigue response of Al-2024 alloy was evaluated macroscopically in terms of cyclic stress strain res...

In this study, mechanically alloyed Al 2024 powder is densified by conventional sintering and by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) with and without back pressure. The powder was encapsulated in an aluminium can for consolidation through ECAP. The properties obtained in the compacts by conventional sintering route and by ECAP are compared. The effect of conventional sintering and ECAP on con...

Panelists have been selected for the ANS panel at 2024 Modern Language Association Conference to be held from January 4­-7, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The panel, titled “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Names Naming Literature”, features a range of literary genres diverse cultures time periods includes works written adults youth.

We present results of a sensitive 76 ksec Chandra observation of the young stellar cluster in NGC 2024, lying at a distance of ∼415 pc in the Orion B giant molecular cloud. Previous infrared observations have shown that this remarkable cluster contains several hundred embedded young stars, most of which are still surrounded by circumstellar disks. Thus, it presents a rare opportunity to study X...
