Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Number of Papers published in non peer-reviewed journals: Unsteady Aerodynamics of Flapping Wings at Re=10.000 100,000 for Micro-Air Vehicles-Final Report Report Title The overall project goal was to investigate low Reynolds number (10,000-100,000) flapping flight for MAV applications. Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) is used for unsteady aerody...

The productivity parameters of cows the Ukrainian Black-and-White and Red-and-White dairy breeds with different genotypes by tumour necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) loci were studied. gene variants evaluated using PCR-RFLP methods for MYF5 SSCP TNF-?. Value milk yield average 305 days lactation, fat content protein in used as experimental indicators. analysis productive qualit...

We describe a partial TaqI map of the dystrophin gene, obtained mainly by analysis of 87 overlapping DMD/BMD deletions with small fragments of the dystrophin cDNA probes; exon 6 of the dystrophin gene was identified on the TaqI map using the polymerase chain reaction. The cDNA probes detect five polymorphisms with TaqI, more than with HindIII (one), BglII (four), or PstI (three). The five polym...

BACKGROUND The TaqI-A polymorphism of the ANKK1 gene, adjacent to the DRD2 gene, has been associated with alcoholism and other psychiatric conditions, although other DRD2 gene variants, such as the C957T polymorphism, could be related to these phenotypic traits. AIMS To investigate the contribution of the TaqI-A and the C957T polymorphisms to the presence of psychopathic traits in patients wi...

prof. mohammad-taqi danesh-pajouh was born in 1290/1911. after his primary education in his birth-place, amol, he continued his education and studied clerical topics in qom. then he entered the faculty of law at tehran university and took his bachelor's degree in 1320/1941. he began his career as a librarian in the library of above mentioned faculty, and a few years later, he was appointed...

Background and Objectives: TaqI-A polymorphism, related to D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2), and event-related P300 potentials have been considered markers of alcohol dependence. The effect of alcohol use variables and TaqI-A on P300 in a single sample have been hardly analysed previously. This study examined changes in P300 parameters after six months of abstinence in alcohol-dependent subjects cla...

INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by a low bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis and the occurrence of fractures in postmenopausal women have been associated to the TaqI polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. OBJECTIVE To analyze the association of the different genotypes of TaqI polymorphism of the VDR gene with BMD in young Mexican women. M...

Metal cofactors (Mg2+ and Mn2+) modulate both specific DNA binding and strand cleavage in the TaqI endonuclease (Cao, W., Mayer, A. N., and Barany, F. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 2276-2283). This work attempts to establish the structural basis of TaqI-DNA-metal2+ interactions using an affinity cleavage technique. The protein was cleaved by localized hydroxyl radicals generated by oxidizing Fe2+ wit...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known as a metabolic disorder. The results of recent studies implied that vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic variants may impact PCOS and insulin resistance in women with PCOS. The aim of the present study was to determine the VDR TaqI gene variant in exon 9 (T/C) (rs731236) in normal controls and patients with PCOS for the first time in Iranian Azer...

We studied three vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms (BsmI, TaqI, FokI) in a case-control study of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The BsmI B and TaqI t alleles were associated with an increased risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. These findings suggest that variants in VDR may influence lymphomagenesis.
