Varieties NCo376 and N14 are the most widely grown varieties in Zimbabwe and are used as control varieties in the selection programme. The success of NCo376 was due to its high yield potential throughout the year and its ability to maintain good yields, even in advanced ratoons. A study was done to compare the performances of N14 and NCo376 in the South-East Lowveld of Zimbabwe, using data from...

We have isolated a complementary DNA (cDNA) clone, termed N14, from a cDNA library derived from normal rat fibroblast 3Y1 cells using a differential screening procedure. N14 cDNA was 1115 nucleotides in length and contained an open reading frame of 172 amino acid residues. The expression of N14 gene was significantly increased in Rous sarcoma virus-transformed 3Y1 cells (SR-3Y1) compared with t...

The subcomponents of the cervical evoked response, N11, N13, N14, and the following positivity, were studied in 13 patients with full arrest of the intracerebral circulation, isoelectric EEGs and abolished cortical somatosensory evoked responses. The peak negativity (N13) and the following positive wave were present in all patients. Also N11 and N14 could be identified in most patients either a...

To investigate the markers useful for evaluating the long-term efficacy of interferon (IFN) therapy, the quantity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and two anti-HCV antibody titers (anti-N14 and anti-C-100-3 antibody) in 21 chronic hepatitis C patients were determined. In all complete responders, a sustained clearance of the virus and reductions in the anti-HCV antibody titers were observed during...

The monoclonal antibody N14 is used as a detection antibody in ELISA kits for the human glycoprotein afamin, a member of the albumin family, which has recently gained interest in the capture and stabilization of Wnt signalling proteins, and for its role in metabolic syndrome and papillary thyroid carcinoma. As a rare occurrence, the N14 Fab is N-glycosylated at Asn26L at the onset of the VL1 an...

The NIST EXPRESS toolkit is a software library for building EXPRESS-related tools. The toolkit was previously released in 1991, based on ISO TC184/SC4 N14 (familiarly called “EXPRESS N14”). The current release is based on Draft International Standard (DIS) 10303-11 (N151) and while the philosophical underpinnings are similar, much of the interface has changed significantly. This paper describes...

Sugarcane stalk population is a key determinant of cane yield and knowing the right intra-row spacing critical factor in sugarcane production for given environment. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at Omo Kuraz Sugar Estate during 2018/ 2019 cropping season to determine effect spacings (5 cm overlapping, end-to-end, 5 between setts 10 setts) on growth, yield, components quality paramet...

One of the core goals of the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) is to monitor major meat commodities for antimicrobial resistance. Targeted studies with methodologies based on core surveillance protocols are used to examine other foods, e.g., seafood, for antimicrobial resistance to detect resistances of concern to public health. Here we report the di...

introduction: celiac disease (cd) is a hereditary disorder of the immune system which damages the mucosa of the small intestine caused by gluten consumption(even very small amounts). villous atrophy, leads to malabsorption, which is due to decreased absorption levels. the first bowel symptoms are seen during the first 2 years of life. currently, the only treatment is to compliance with a gluten...

A rapid screening (hydroponic) and field testing programme There is increasing interest in improving the nitrogen (N) use efficiency of cultivated crops, due to the high cost of synthetic N fertiliser. Since existing differences in N use efficiency between sugarcane varieties could be exploited to improve N fertilisation, a hydroponic pot experiment was conducted to test the performance of seve...
