In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of tillage systems (TS) on wheat grain yield, yield components, and physicochemical properties under rain-fed conditions over 2 years (2018–2019) in Kuhdasht region southwestern Iran. The treatments were a combination conventional (CT), reduced (RT), no (NT) based randomized complete blocks with three replications. Wheat yields physical (geometri...

Imprinted expression of the mouse Igf2/H19 locus is controlled by parent-of-origin-specific methylation of the imprinting control region (ICR). We previously demonstrated that when placed in a heterologous genomic context, the H19 ICR fragment contains an intrinsic activity that allows it to acquire differential methylation in somatic cells but not in germ cells. In the present study, we invest...

This paper reports the first ebullitive fluxes of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and total gaseous mercury (TGM) from the Cornwall Area of Concern (CAC). Although sediments were contaminated with mercury, bubbling was a negligible source of mercury for the global atmosphere. Indeed, the average emission of TGM through ebullition was 0.04 pg m(-2) h(-1)....

Background Rheumatologic patients treated with Rituximab (RTX) are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 and death. The B-cell depletive treatment significantly affects B cell functions involved in anti-SARS-CoV-2 response, leading to relevant impacts on the clinical serological course infection, long-term immunity, vaccine responses. In light these observations, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Tix...

HYPOTHESIS A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) staging system can be created with the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. DESIGN A review of records in the SEER database from 2537 patients with GISTs from June 1, 1977, through August 1, 2004. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were compared using all available clinicopathologic factors, and a TGM (tumor, grade, metast...

Maf1 is a negative regulator of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) in yeast. Maf1-depleted cells manifest elevated tRNA transcription and inability to grow on non-fermentable carbon source, such as glycerol. Using genomic microarray approach, we examined the effect of Maf1 deletion on expression of Pol II-transcribed genes in yeast grown in medium containing glycerol. We found that transcription of F...
