The highly polymorphic S (for self-incompatibility) locus regulates self-incompatibility in Petunia inflata; the S-RNase regulates pistil specificity, and multiple S-locus F-box (SLF) genes regulate pollen specificity. The collaborative non-self recognition model predicts that, for any S-haplotype, an unknown number of SLFs collectively recognize all non-self S-RNases to mediate their ubiquitin...

Given two metric spaces S1, S2 and a measurable function f : S1 → S2, sup­ pose S1 is equipped with some probability measure P. This induces a proba­ bility measure on S2 which is denoted by Pf−1 and is defined by Pf−1(A) = P(f−1(A)) for every measurable set A ⊂ S2. Then for any random variable X : S2 → R, its expectation EPf−1 [X] is equal to EP[X(f)]. (Convince your­ self that this is the cas...

to evaluate the relationship between total organic carbon (toc) and rock-eval s2 (petroleum potential) of petroleum source rocks, atotal of 180 outcrop samples from the black organic matter–rich facies of mesozoic strata from a locality of southwest of iran wereinvestigated using rock-eval vi pyrolysis and leco carbon analyzer. the linear regression is applied to determine the correlationbetwee...

Rate equations and kinetic parameters were obtained for various reactions involved in the bacterial oxidation of pyrite. The rate constants were 3.5 muM Fe per min per FeS(2) percent pulp density for the spontaneous pyrite dissolution, 10 muM Fe per min per mM Fe for the indirect leaching with Fe, 90 muM O(2) per min per mg of wet cells per ml for the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans oxidation of wash...
