the tragedy of modern man in arthur millers world
what miller wants is a theatre of heightened consciousness. he speaks of two passions in a man, the passion to "feel" and the passion "know". he belives that we can have more of the latter. he says: drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us know more and not merely to spend our feelings. the writing of the crucible shows us that he is trying to give more heightene...
15 صفحه اولSmall silencing RNAs
Just fourteen years ago, Victor Ambros and coworkers discovered the first microRNA (miRNA). And just eight years ago, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), the small silencing RNAs that mediate RNA interference (RNAi), were identified and subsequently shown in animals to be derived from a longer double-stranded RNA trigger and to serve as guides for the destruction of complementary mRNAs. The discov...
متن کاملInvasion mechanisms among emerging food-borne protozoan parasites.
Food-borne parasitic diseases, many known to be more prevalent in poor countries with deficient sanitary conditions, are becoming common worldwide. Among the emerging protozoan parasites, the most prominent is Trypanosoma cruzi, rarely reported in the past to be transmitted by the oral route but currently responsible for frequent outbreaks of acute cases of Chagas disease contracted orally and ...
متن کاملProtozoan Parasites
When viewed from the top, Trichodina is circular; side views of the organism reveal a saucer or dome shape (Fig. 1). It has three rings of cilia (small, hair-like projections) encircling its body and oral cavity, which are used for locomotion and feeding. Its body is supported by a rigid ring of interconnected discs called a chitinoid or denticular ring (Fig. 2). Each disc has a thorn-like inne...
متن کاملSorting of Drosophila Small Silencing RNAs
In Drosophila, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which direct RNA interference through the Argonaute protein Ago2, are produced by a biogenesis pathway distinct from microRNAs (miRNAs), which regulate endogenous mRNA expression as guides for Ago1. Here, we report that siRNAs and miRNAs are sorted into Ago1 and Ago2 by pathways independent from the processes that produce these two classes of smal...
