Let O be an arbitrary order in an indeenite quaternion division algebra over Q. If O 1 is the group of elements in O with norm equal to 1, and H the complex upper half-plane, then X O := O 1 nH is a compact Riemann surface. Furthermore, let ? 0 (d) SL 2 (Z) be the Hecke congruence group of level d. Then X d := ? 0 (d)nH is a non-compact Riemann surface with nite volume. Let be the hyperbolic La...

Let k 2 Z and let SL 2 (Z) denote the special linear group SL 2 (Z) = a b c d : a; b; c; d 2 Z and ad bc = 1 : A modular form of weight k is an analytic function f de…ned on the complex upper half plane H = fz 2 C : Im(z) > 0g that transforms under the action of SL 2 (Z) according to the relation [1] f az + b cz + d = (cz + d) k f (z) for all a b c d 2 SL 2 (Z)

Understanding intermolecular interactions between drugs and proteins is very important in drug delivery studies. Here, we studied different binding interactions between salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Salicylic acid was labeled with a stable radical (spin label) in order to monitor its mobilized (free) or immobilized (bound...

Background: The value of systematic lymphadenectomy (SL) in the treatment of early endometrial cancer (ECC) is still being debated. The purpose of the present study was to assess the benefit of SL for ECC by performing a systematic review of the published literatures. Methods: Systematic research was performed on Pubmed Database, Embase, Medline, Web of Science and CENTRAL for studies from 2003...

To facilitate the development of bio-based chemicals from renewable and inexpensive natural resources, we sought to produce biosurfactants using non-edible jatropha oil. Twenty yeasts known to produce biosurfactants were tested in this study, and Stamerella bombicola NBRC 10243 was found to use jatropha oil efficiently to produce sophorolipids (SLs) as a mixture of lactone-form SL (L-SL) and ac...

Addition of a 39-nucleotide (nt) spliced leader (SL) by trans splicing is a basic requirement for all trypanosome nuclear mRNAs. The SL RNA in Leishmania tarentolae is a 96-nt precursor transcript synthesized by a polymerase that resembles polymerase II most closely. To analyze SL RNA genesis, we mutated SL RNA intron structures and sequence elements: stem-loops II and III, the Sm-binding site,...

In this paper we give a 2-generator 2-relation presentation for the group SL(2,121). This proves that SL(2,121), the covering group of PSL(2,121), is efficient

The phytohormone auxin is known to regulate several aspects of plant development, and Aux/IAA transcription factors play a pivotal role in auxin signaling. To extend our understanding of the multiple functions of Aux/IAAs further, the present study describes the functional characterization of Sl-IAA27, a member of the tomato Aux/IAA gene family. Sl-IAA27 displays a distinct behavior compared wi...
