3-OST-7 Regulates BMP-Dependent Cardiac Contraction

The 3-O-sulfotransferase (3-OST) family catalyzes rare modifications of glycosaminoglycan chains on heparan sulfate proteoglycans, yet their biological functions are largely unknown. Knockdown of 3-OST-7 in zebrafish uncouples cardiac ventricular contraction from normal calcium cycling and electrophysiology by reducing tropomyosin4 (tpm4) expression. Normal 3-OST-7 activity prevents the expansi...

Error Bounds for Approximations from Projected Linear Equations

We consider linear fixed point equations and their approximations by projection on a low dimensional subspace. We derive new bounds on the approximation error of the solution, which are expressed in terms of low dimensional matrices and can be computed by simulation. When the fixed point mapping is a contraction, as is typically the case in Markov decision processes (MDP), one of our bounds is ...

PCR–RFLP of isolated Salmonella from poultry with Sau3AI and HhaI restriction endonucleases in Arak

Salmonella enterica is considered as one of the major pathogens in public health, worldwide. Diseases caused by Salmonella enterica serovars are especially prevalent in developing countries. It is one of the emerging pathogen in food-borne diseases, which is often found in contaminated chicken eggs. The aim of this study was to apply a PCR–RFLP method using Sau3AI and HhaI restriction endonucle...
