Evidence for variable selective pressures at MC1R.
It is widely assumed that genes that influence variation in skin and hair pigmentation are under selection. To date, the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is the only gene identified that explains substantial phenotypic variance in human pigmentation. Here we investigate MC1R polymorphism in several populations, for evidence of selection. We conclude that MC1R is under strong functional constraint...

متن کاملA New Correlation for Prediction of Wax Disappearance Temperature of Hydrocarbon Mixtures at Various Pressures
Wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. To remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (WDT) seems necessary. In this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperatu...
متن کاملCompressed Liquid Densities for Binary Mixtures at Temperatures from 280- 440K at Pressures up to 200 MPa
A method for predicting liquid densities of binary mixtures from heat of vaporization and liquid densityat boiling point temperature (ΔHvap and n b ρ ) as scaling constants, is presented. B2(T) follows a promisingcorresponding-states principle. Calculation of α(T) and b(T), the two other temperature-dependentconstants of the equation of state, are made possible by scaling. As a result ΔHvap and...
متن کاملRelaxation of Selective Pressures in Modernized Populations
As our world becomes increasingly technologically advanced, we find that the opportunities for ‘4 u 4 selection in human populations fluctuate. The general trend? however! is that as a society becomes modernized, selective pressures become more relaxed. Beginning with two primitive societies the !Kung % San and the Yanomamo, we see that specific environmental and cultural constraints provide en...
