Male moth pheromone-detecting receptor neurons are known to be highly specific and very sensitive. We investigated physiological and behavioral responses to female sex pheromone components in male Ostrinia furnacalis moths (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Using recordings from a cut-sensillum technique, trichoid sensilla could be grouped into four physiological types (1-4), according to the response o...

Vaccines that can coordinately induce multi-epitope T cell-mediated immunity, T helper functions, and immunologic memory may offer effective tools for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we report the development of a new class of recombinant protein cancer vaccines that deliver different CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cell epitopes presented by MHC class I and class II alleles, respectively. In these vaccines, t...

Abstract Tilletia controversa Kühn is the causal agent of dwarf bunt disease in wheat. Understanding infection T. practical and scientific importance for management. Here, we used scanning electron microscopy to characterize histological changes at seedling (Z12) stem elongation stages (Z31) resistant susceptible wheat cultivars after infection. At stage (Z12), structure mesophyll cells slightl...

Keeping N=1 supersymmetry in 4-dimension and in the leading order, we disuss the various orbifold compactifications of M-theory suggested by Horava and Witten on T /Z3, T /Z6, T /Z12, and the compactification by keeping singlets under SU(2) × U(1) symmetry, then the compactification on S/Z2. We also discuss the next to leading order Kähler potential, superpotential, and gauge kinetic function i...

Macrophages are considered essential mediators in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis, presumably through myelin phagocytosis and release of inflammatory mediators. Macrophages and microglia express activating Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRI and FcgammaRIII), which depend on the FcRgamma chain for surface expression and signaling. In MS lesions, crosslinking of FcgammaR by immunoglobulins (IgG) d...

We develop a robust version of the MSSM from a Z12 orbifolded AdS/CFT, with natural low scale unification and briefly discuss cosmology in this testable model. Typeset using REVTEX 1

The article studies the topos Sets of actions of an 8-element monoid T on sets. It is called the triadic topos as T is isomorphic to the monoid of affine transformations of the twelve tone system Z12, leaving a given major or minor triad invariant. The subobject classifier Ω of this topos and its Lawvere-TierneyTopologies j are calculated. We explore the characteristic functions of the restrict...
