Nodulation of alfalfa by exoB mutants of Rhizobium meliloti occurred without root hair curling or infection thread formation. nod exoB double mutants had the same nodulation deficiency as single nod mutants. Therefore, all the known nod genes are involved in nodule induction by exoB mutants, which apparently occurs via intercellular invasion.

A single layer, mono-component, fast, stable, and controllable curling motion actuator is prepared from a mixture of di-acrylate mesogenic monomer and 5CB using a photo-polymerization induced phase separation method. This actuator is capable of sensing water in acetone.

Abstract This paper proposes to enrich robot motion data with trajectory curvature information. To do so, we use an approximate implementation of a topological feature named writhe , which measures the curling closed curve around itself, and its analog for two curves, namely linking number . Despite these features have been established their definition allows discrete calculation that is well-d...

Potassium bromate (KBrO(3)) and thioglycolate are two components of hair curling solution. The neurotoxic effects of KBrO(3) and thioglycolate on the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) system have not been elucidated. In this paper, we report the adverse effects of KBrO(3) and thioglycolate on the VOR system of Hartley-strain guinea pigs. The function of the VOR system was evaluated by caloric test c...

The aim of this study is to examine the effects life kinetic exercises on performance floor curling athletes. A total 40 volunteer women, 20 in experimental group and control group, residing city center Gaziantep, aged between 14 16 doing curling, participated study. Life exercise was applied for 8 weeks along with training. On other hand, only training group. data were analyzed SPSS package pr...

"Blinding" and a leaf gall induced on Amsinckia intermedia Fisch. and Mey. by Anguina amsinckia (Steiner and Scott) are described. A. amsinckia induced blinding by galling the terminal apical meristem of its host. The leaf gall was formed by a ventral curling of the distal edge of the leaf. The absence of a rachis in the ovary of A. amsinckia is noted.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways which is characterized by recurrent episodes of airway obstruction, associated with airway hyper responsiveness that leads to symptoms of dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, and/or coughing. Omega shaped epiglottis is a type of laryngomalacia which is a result of curling on itself of the epiglottis because of shortened aryepiglottic folds.
