Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes transcription, is found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and fungi. Here we have mapped DNA methylation in the entire Arabidopsis thaliana genome at high resolution. DNA methylation covers transposons and is present within a large fraction of A. thaliana genes. Methylation within genes is conspicuously bia...

The role of the food industry (retailers, manufacturers and food service) in helping consumers eat healthily and sustainably has been receiving considerable attention in recent years. This paper focuses on the challenges facing the food industry and the role of food reformulation in meeting these challenges, through the lens of a public health nutritionist. Attention has been heightened by the ...

Objectives: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autograft has historically been regarded as the gold standard for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Despite widespread utilization of BTB autografts, multiple complications following harvest have reported, including knee pain, difficulty kneeling, patellar tendon rupture, patella fracture, contracture, and numbness. The quadriceps (QT)...

Strains WB 3.3-2(T), WB 3.2-61(T), WB 4.1-42(T) and WB 2.3-68(T) were isolated from the Westerhöfer Bach hard water rivulet, North Germany. The strains were Gram-staining-negative and catalase-, aminopeptidase- and oxidase-positive. The novel strains lacked flagella and only strain WB3.2-61(T) showed gliding motility. Isolates WB 3.2-61(T), WB 4.1-42(T) and WB 2.3-68(T) produced flexirubin pigm...

Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown a positive correlation between smoking and psychiatric disorders. To investigate the prevalence of cigarette smoking, 277 psychiatric outpatients with anxiety or depressive disorders (DSM-IV) answered a self-evaluation questionnaire about smoking behavior and were compared with a group of 68 control subjects. The diagnoses (N = 262) were: 30.2% (N...

DiSOM is a software-based distributed shared memory (DSM) system, which supports intraand interapplication sharing in heterogeneous networks of multiprocessor workstations. Unlike previous DSM systems, DiSOM provides fine-grained control over communication while retaining a simple shared memory model. It achieves this by using an update-based implementation of entry consistency, semaphores, rem...
