Some numerical algorithms for elliptic eigenvalue problems are proposed, analyzed, and numerically tested. The methods combine advantages of the two-grid algorithm (Xu and Zhou in Math Comput 70(233):17–25, 2001), the two-space method (Racheva and Andreev in ComputMethods ApplMath 2:171–185, 2002), the shifted inverse powermethod (Hu and Cheng in Math Comput 80:1287–1301, 2011; Yang and Bi in S...

2014 X-ray diffraction experiments with lyotropic calamitic-nematic phases and induced lyotropic calamitic-cholesteric phases doped with brucine sulfate and d-octanol are performed. The diffraction pattern of the usual oriented nematic phase is compared with the patterns of the untwisted cholesteric phase. The analysis of the patterns indicate that even in the cholesteric phase the pseudo-lamel...

We have cloned and characterized cDNAs coding for a receptor-class phosphotyrosine phosphatase gene from Drosophila melanogaster. The gene maps to the polytene chromosome bands 99A7-8. The cDNA clones code for a polypeptide of 1301 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 145 kDa. The extracellular domain includes two fibronectin-type III-like domains. The cytoplasmic region contains two ...

In this study, we subcloned the full-length cDNA of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene of Corchorus capsularis into expression vector pCAMBIA 1301. Arabidopsis were transformed by floral-dip method, PCR and southern hybridization results indicate exogenous gene was integrated into the Arabidopsis genome. Overexpression of CcUGPase gene revealed increased height and more rapid growth rate in...

Background Host genetic factors are the major determining factor for variation in response to HIV infection and are related to resistance among HIV patients. HLA dRB1*1501, DRB1*1502, DRB1*1301, DRB1*1302, DRB1*1101-05 are widely reported alleles associated with low viraemia in infected individuals. Computational predictions have made it possible to identify potentially strong peptide binders t...
