In Drosophila, dosage compensation is controlled by the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex consisting of at least five proteins and two noncoding RNAs, roX1 and roX2. The roX RNAs function in targeting MSL complex to the X chromosome, and roX transgenes can nucleate spreading of the MSL complex into flanking chromatin when inserted on an autosome. An MSL-binding site (DHS, DNaseI hypersensitive...

Transformations of dissolved iron and phosphate to particulate material (>0.2 pm) were investigated by adding 55FeC1, and 32P0,3to pH adjusted epilimnetic lake water samples of contrasting ionic strengths and dissolved humic substances (DHS) concentrations. The distributions of these tracers between particulate size fractions in samples without appreciable DHS after 24 h of dark incubation vari...

BACKGROUND According to the existing literature, the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is the preferred standard for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. However, some surgeons use other devices such as the Locking Compression Plate (LCP). OBJECTIVES In this study, we compared the outcome of using DHS or LCP in intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was...

The structure of integrated viral DNA in a hepatocellular carcinoma of a duck from Chi-tung county in China was analyzed. Three different clones of integrated viral DNA, lambda DHS 6-1, lambda DHS 6-2, and lambda DHE 6-2, were obtained from the neoplastic portion of the liver by molecular cloning. One of the three clones, lambda DHS 6-1, showed inverted repetition of integrated viral DNA with c...

The elements controlling the complex developmental and tissue-specific expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene lie outside the basal promoter region and have not been characterized. We previously identified a tissue-specific DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS) in intron 1 (185 + 10 kb) of the CFTR gene. Here we show that removal of the core element abolis...

Congress passed the Real ID Act (‘‘the Act’’) in 2005 and will require all states to implement much more stringent controls on the issuance of driver’s licenses and identification. The states face a number of obstacles in implementing the requirements including a lack of funding, lack of federal support and training, and a rapidly approaching implementation deadline. Under the Real ID Act, the ...

The urban energy system is greatly dependent on the District Heating System (DHS). However, many difficulties with regulation and control are caused by its large scale numerous coupling variables. Additionally, reliance manual experience means it can be challenging to guarantee heating comfort effectiveness in of DHS. This paper proposes a data-driven temperature response prediction model predi...

Dapsone is chemically sulfonamide with its leprostatic mechanism used in the treatment of Hansen’s disease. It one safest drugs leprosy patients. Apart from safety, it associated various adverse effects such as hemolytic anemia, allergic dermatitis, agranulocytosis, methaemoglobinemia, and dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS). DHS typically presents fever, skin eruptions, Jaundice, hepatomeg...

OBJECTIVE To examine the reliability of reported rates of caesarean sections from developing countries and make recommendations on how data collection for surveys and health facility-based studies could be improved. METHODS Population-based rates for caesarean section obtained from two sources: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and health facility-based records of caesarean sections from t...
