Xenopus Vg 1, a transforming growth factor beta (Tgfbeta) family member, was one of the first maternally localized mRNAs identified in vertebrates. Its restriction to the vegetal pole of the egg made it the ideal candidate to be the mesoderm-inducing signal released by vegetal cells, but its function in vivo has never been resolved. We show that Vg 1 is essential for Xenopus embryonic developme...

Although the simulation data as well as the conclusion on the proportionality between Vip(i) and Vg(i) in the work [1] is correct, interpretation of some data therein should be corrected. As the sampling number (L = 200) to measure the average gene expression level is not large enough, there is a bias in the estimate in Vg(i). Finiteness in the number of sampling L will generally cause a bias o...

If G=(VG,EG) is a graph of order n, we call S⊆VG an isolating set if the induced by VG−NG[S] contains no edges. The minimum cardinality G called isolation number G, and it denoted ι(G). It known that ι(G)≤n3 bound sharp. A subset dominating in NG[S]=VG. domination number, γ(G). In this paper, analyze family trees T where ι(T)=γ(T), prove ι(T)=n3 implies ι(T)=γ(T). Moreover, give different equiv...

Introduction Montanide ISA 51 VG and Montanide ISA 720 VG are two novel adjuvants dedicated to human therapeutic vaccines. They have been used in more than 200 clinical trials involving cancer, AIDS, malaria or autoimmune disease vaccines and involving an accrual of more than 20000 patients. The adjuvants are rendering stable water-in-oil emulsions when mixed with water based antigenic media. M...

We are investigating how Drosophila imaginal disc cells establish and maintain their appendage-specific determined states. We have previously shown that ectopic expression of wingless (wg) induces leg disc cells to activate expression of the wing marker Vestigial (Vg) and transdetermine to wing cells. Here we show that ectopic wg expression non-cell-autonomously induces Vg expression in leg dis...

BACKGROUND The MEAM1 (B biotype) Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is one of the most widespread and damaging whitefly cryptic species. Our previous studies discovered that the MEAM1 whitefly indirectly benefits from interactions with the tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) via accelerated ovarian development and increased fecundity. However, the physiological mechanism of begomoviruse-infec...

BACKGROUND Vitellogenin (Vg), a major reproductive protein, has been associated with infection-resistant response in fish. However, the underlying mechanisms by which Vg is involved in anti-infectious response are not understood. METHODOLOGY/RESULTS By both protein-microbe interaction analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as well as phagocytosis test, we demonstrate for the first tim...

It has been brought to our attention that there was a typographical error in our review article [1] published in February 2000. The last sentence of the abstract should read: " Two randomized studies found that, in difficult-to-wean patients, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) is the most ineffective method of weaning. " Reference 1.

The Virtual Generalizing Random Access Memory Weightless Neural Network (VGRAM WNN) is a type of WNN that only requires storage capacity proportional to the training set. As such, it is an effective machine learning technique that offers simple implementation and fast training – it can be made in one shot. However, the VG-RAM WNN test time for applications that require many training samples can...
