Ganoderma lucidum is a typical polypore fungus used for traditional Chinese medical purposes. The taxonomic delimitation of Ganoderma lucidum is still debated. In this study, we sequenced seven internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of Ganoderma lucidum strains and annotated the ITS1 and ITS2 regions. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS1 differentiated the strains into three geographic groups. Gr...

the clara cell protein (cc16) is a small and readily diffusible protein of 16 kda secreted by bronchiolar clara cells in the distal airspaces. mutation detection methods identified an adenine to guanine substitution in the cc16 gene at position 38 (a38g) downstream from the transcription initiation site within the non-coding region of exon 1. in the present study, the genetic polymorphism of cc...

conclusions geographic accessibility of pharmacies at night and on holidays has to be addressed by provincial health policymakers. materials and methods the analysis was based on straight-line distance measurements. we considered 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 m for pedestrians, and 1, 2, and 3 km for driving accessibility as the acceptable distances. we calculated the number and percentage of hou...

Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus), coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), black oak (Q. kelloggii), and some shreve oak (Q. parvula var. shreve) trees in coastal California are affected by a new disease called ‘‘Sudden Oak Death.’’ These tree communities are extremely important for habitat provision, recreation, and aesthetics. Research of and community interest in this new disease is very high. We...

Conventional GRID service is static (no mobility), and it has many drawbacks such as continuous connection, waste of bandwidth, and service overloading. Wireless GRID supports mobility, however it should consider geographic position to support efficient resource sharing and routing. When the devices in the GRID are highly mobile, there will be much traffic to exchange the geographic position in...

We introduce some general and special formulations of position theorem for parametrized families fractals explain the techniques its application to prove existence self-similar sets with prescribed properties.
