Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a warm-season, C4 annual cereal primarily grown in Africa and India for food and fodder. It is also grown in the United States, mainly as a forage crop on a limited area. It is the sixth most important cereal crop in the world. More than 90 million people around the world rely on it as a food grain. It is known for its drought and heat tolerance ...

FoilTEX is a LATEX-like system for typesetting foils. Its features include simplicity of use, compatibility with LATEX, large sans serif font as default, extra macros to start foils with bold headings and special mechanisms to control the footer and header. There are also facilities incorporated into FoilTEX, when used with compatible drivers, for one-pass multi-color printing. This article des...

Pseudomonas putida CA-3 is capable of accumulating medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs) when growing on the toxic pollutant styrene as the sole source of carbon and energy. In this study, we report on the molecular characterization of the metabolic pathways involved in this novel bioconversion. With a mini-Tn5 random mutagenesis approach, acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) was identified a...

BACKGROUND For the production of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe), two molecules of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and one molecule erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) are necessary. PEP stems from glycolysis whereas E4P is formed in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Glucose, commonly used for L-Phe production with recombinant E. coli, is taken up via the PEP-dependent phosphotransferase system which delivers glu...

The paper presents problems arising in the analysis of intonation patterns in speech, their interpretation and usage for the needs of Speech Technology. Multiple functions of intonation are discussed from points of view of acoustic phonetics, linguistics and psychology. The results of a comprehensive, multilevel analysis of prosody may be directly used, above all, in a system of automatic speec...

A cross-sectional survey of the prevalence of eye injuries among primary school children in two noncontiguous local government areas of Enugu State of Nigeria was undertaken. One of the local government areas was urban, while the other one was rural. Children who were <15 years in two randomly selected primary schools in the urban area and three randomly selected schools in the rural area were ...

the activity of the same pathway that it regulates) is very A common theme in the development of multicellular diverse, as are the sites of their action at the membrane, organisms is the generation of complex pattern from a in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus. One example of a field of equivalent precursor cells in response to senegative regulator that functions at the membrane is the creted pe...

Reversible phosphorylation plays an important role in pre-mRNA splicing in mammalian cells. Two kinases, SR protein-specific kinase (SRPK1) and Clk/Sty, have been shown to phosphorylate the SR family of splicing factors. We report here the cloning and characterization of SRPK2, which is highly related to SRPK1 in sequence, kinase activity, and substrate specificity. Random peptide selection for...

Signaling by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is critical for a multitude of developmental decisions and processes. Among the molecules known to transduce the RTK-generated signal is the nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase Corkscrew (Csw). Previously, Csw has been demonstrated to function throughout the Drosophila life cycle and, among the RTKs tested, Csw is essential in the Torso, Sevenl...
