In Arabidopsis, NPR1 is a key transcriptional coregulator of systemic acquired resistance. Upon pathogen challenge, NPR1 translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, in which it interacts with TGA-bZIP transcription factors to activate the expression of several pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. In a screen of a yeast two-hybrid library from wheat leaves infected with Puccinia striiformis f. s...

In this study, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) at different concentrations on physiochemical and sensory properties soy protein isolate (SPI), pea (PPI), or peanut (PNPI) compound gels were investigated. The results revealed that when ratio PNPI to KGM was 90:10, denaturation temperature could be significantly enhanced 119.32°C by modification. Concerning textural microstructural featur...

One of the oldest research reactors was launched over forty years ago. The WWR-M reactor started operating in December, 1959 at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) in Gatchina. Ever since it has been normally operating without replacement of the tank. Russia’s concern for this reactor as a stationary neutron source was significantly increased, when many research reactors were shut down ...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type VIIC is a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder, characterized by extreme skin fragility, characteristic facies, joint laxity, droopy skin, umbilical hernia, and blue sclera. Like the animal model dermatosparaxis, EDS type VIIC results from the absence of activity of procollagen I N-proteinase (pNPI), the enzyme that excises the N-propeptide of type ...

Meteorological drought is a climatic condition categorized by scarcity of rainfall. Understanding the characteristics significant step appointed uncertain climate conditions due to current global change. This study aims assess duration and frequency using Normal Precipitation Index (PNPI) method identify in area. The PNPI revealed spatial variation percent value monthly rainfall average across ...

This article reviews the development of various sources for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI). For 45 years, PNPI has proposed and manufactured cryogenic devices neutron conversion to low energies. Based on beryllium, hydrogen deuterium, they can be operated in intense radiation fields near core a nuclear reactor. A more recently launched UCN source utiliz...

BACKGROUND Pudendal neuropathy is a tunnel syndrome characterized by pelvic pain and may include bowel, bladder, or sexual dysfunction or a combination of these. One treatment method, pudendal nerve perineural injections (PNPIs), uses infiltration of bupivacaine and corticosteroid around the nerve to provide symptom relief. Bupivacaine also anesthetizes the skin in the receptive field of the ne...

Introduction One of the oldest research reactors was started some forty years ago. WWR-M reactor started operating in December 1959 at St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) in Gatchina. Since then it has been operating normally without replacement of the tank. Russia's concern for this reactor as a neutron source significantly increased when many research reactors were shut down after...

During several years, the Meson Physics Laboratory performs at the pion channel of the PNPI synchrocyclotron a wide program of investigation pion-nucleon scattering in the region of low-lying πN resonances. At the first stages of this program, precision measurements of the differential cross sections, polarization parameters P and spin rotation parameters A and R were made for πр elastic scatte...

Presently different optical devices are used practically at all modern neutron sources to form neutron beams. The basic event in forming neutron optics at PNPI was creation of highly efficient polarizing mirror on the glass substrate in 1972 [1,2]. It had a polarizing Ñî 60 Fe 40 coating and an antireflective Ti 85 Gd 15 underlayer. The coatings were prepared by vacuum thermal evaporation of ma...
