This study considered the Sabah traditional bamboo musical instrument, sompoton. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) of sompoton was determined via a Pico oscilloscope. All three sompotons displayed almost similar fundamental frequencies. individual tubes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 (except tube 7) I, II, III produced frequency (in hertz) as 924, 758, 655, 589, 449, 407, 537, 954, 779, 614, 469, 387, ...

The talin rod contains approximately 11 vinculin binding sites (VBSs), each defined by hydrophobic residues in a series of amphipathic helices that are normally buried within the helical bundles that make up the rod. Consistent with this, talin failed to compete for binding of the vinculin Vd1 domain to an immobilized talin polypeptide containing a constitutively active VBS. However, talin did ...

BACKGROUND Deficiency of 21-hydroxylase is present in 90-95% cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), an autosomal recessive disorder. Eleven common pseudogene-derived mutations account for approximately 95% of all affected CYP21A2 alleles in all three clinical forms of the disease. OBJECTIVE To analyse the detected heterozygotes during the molecular analysis of eleven CYP21A2 common ps...

Background: Infertility has complex implications for individual and social well-being of those involved. The medical definition of infertility used by the World Health Organization is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. The aim of this review was to assess the prevalence of infertil...

Asymmetric, heteroleptic dinuclear bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complexes were synthesized and demonstrated to collect a wide range of light across the UV and visible regions (340-655 nm). The complexes also conveyed excitons across their structure from one end to the other, with spectroscopic studies demonstrating quantitative and fast energy transfer.
