The Desulfurococcus amylolyticus RadA protein (RadA(Da)) promotes recombination at temperatures approaching the DNA melting point. Here, analyzing ATPase of the RadA(Da) presynaptic complex, we described other distinguishing characteristics of RadA(Da). These include sensitivity to NaCl, preference for lengthy single-stranded DNA as a cofactor, protein activity at temperatures of over 100 degre...

The objectives are: (1) to study the structure and the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of highimpact weather systems in the vicinity of the Southeast and East Asian monsoon region that stretches from Indian Ocean to the tropical Pacific, including the South China Sea and Yellow Sea, which are of particular interest to naval operations; and (2) to study the ability and sensitivity of Navy o...

The taste sensitivity to the disaccharide trehalose of Drosophila melanogaster is under the genetic control by the Tre gene on the X chromosome. The gene is genetically dimorphic for high and low sensitivity and is likely to be functioning in the primary step of chemoreception. We have determined the cytological localization of the Tre gene to be between 5A10 and 5B1-3 by analyzing the sensitiv...

In this paper, a simple and intuitive technique for analyzing clock jitter effect on bandpass Continuous-Time SigmaDelta (Σ∆) modulators is introduced. The power spectral density of the jitter noise for different feedback DAC shapes are derived and compared. It is shown that DAC output signal shapes used to reduce clock jitter sensitivity in lowpass Continuous-Time Σ∆ modulators may not be suit...
