Eukaryotic gene expression occurs in the context of structurally distinct chromosomal domains such as the relatively open, gene-rich, and transcriptionally active euchromatin and the condensed and gene-poor heterochromatin where its specific chromatin environment inhibits transcription. To study gene silencing by heterochromatin, we created a minichromosome reporter system where the gene silenc...

The paper describes the impact of selective laser melting factors including using a nanosecond fibre laser, powers, scanning speed, and thickness layer, on relative density micro hardness Vickers IN 601 samples was studied. Selective (SLM) is commonly used powder bed fusion metal additive manufacturing (AM). Recent advances in have attracted significant industrial interest, especially for produ...

An artificial liver support system for plasma exchange and plasma perfusion through BR-601 resin using a membrane separator was applied to 5 patients with postoperative liver failure. Percent absorption of total and direct bilirubin, and of bile acids were 77.1 +/- 6.4, 78.4 +/- 6.1, and 93.4 +/- 3.6%, respectively, when 250 ml of plasma was treated. Percent reductions in total and direct bilir...

This paper develops a dynamic model for the timing and terms of mergers and acquisitions. Differently from previous models, we show that the firms agree about the timing, independently from how the merger surplus is shared. Firms always agree on the timing and discuss the sharing rule of the merger surplus according to their bargaining power or some other exogenous factor. We also show that, un...

A new urea-containing metal-organic framework (MOF) was synthesized to act as a heterogeneous catalyst. Ureas are well-known for self-recognition and aggregation behavior, resulting in loss of catalytic competency. The catalyst spatial isolation achievable in a porous MOF environment suggests a potentially general solution. The combination of a symmetrical urea tetracarboxylate strut, 4,4'-bipy...
