Cereal Chem. 78(4):412–416 Twenty-three entries of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), including eight inbred lines (five males and three females) and 15 hybrids, were evaluated to determine the proportion of γ, αII, and β-αIkafirins and their association with contents of crude protein, fat, and starch; protein digestibility; in vitro dry matter disappearance; and seed weight. The male...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) induces diverse biological responses in various tissues by activating specific G proteincoupled receptors (S1P1–S1P5 receptors). The biological signaling regulated by S1P3 receptor has not been fully elucidated because of the lack of an S1P3 receptor-specific antagonist or agonist. We developed a novel S1P3 receptor antagonist, 1-(4chlorophenylhydrazono)-1-(4-chlor...

Some statistical properties of samples of DNA sequences are studied under an infinite-site neutral model with recombination. T h e two quantities of interest are R, the number of recombination events in the history of a sample of sequences, and RM, the number of recombination events that can be parsimoniously inferred from a sample of sequences. Formulas are derived for the mean and variance of...

A fundamental concept in population genetics is the representation of the evolutionary history of a sample, of a single locus, as a tree. The theory describing such trees is called “coalescence theory,” and the primary mathematical model used is called “the coalescent,” or sometimes “Kingman’s coalescent,” as it was first discovered by the British mathematician Kingman (1982a,b). Coalescence th...

For fish stocks managed using biological reference points based upon spawning biomass, it is critical to have accurate maturity schedules. We investigated sizeand age-dependent patterns in maturity for southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma, a flatfish supporting valuable coastal fisheries in North Carolina and throughout its range. We evaluated both macroscopic and histological methods ove...

A mathematical theory is developed for computing the probability that m genes sampled from one population (species) and n genes sampled from another are derived from 1 genes that existed at the time of population splitting. The expected time of divergence between the two most closely related genes sampled from two different populations and the time of divergence (coalescence) of all genes sampl...

IgG4-related disease also known as inflammatory pseudotumour and include myofibroblastic tumours and plasma cell granulomas, has recently become a recognised condition. The aetiology remains unknown, with features of both allergic and autoimmune disease. We present here such a rare case and review published cases of the disease. We present a 42 year old female patient who underwent an excision ...

Marvin Eyler, who later successfully administers the creation of NASSH, receives his PhD under a “sport historian,” Seward Staley, at University Illinois.Marvin Eyler and Staley discuss potential sport history organization.Seward is instrumental in creating section National College Physical Education Association for Men (NCPEAM).Max Howell, future NASSH president, becomes professor Alberta, Can...

Experimental evolution of short-lived organisms offers the opportunity to study the dynamics of polymorphism over time in a controlled environment. Here, we characterize DNA polymorphism data over time for four genes in bacteriophage T7. Our experiment ran for 2500 generations and populations were sampled after 500, 2000, and 2500 generations. We detect positive selection, purifying (“negative”...
