An antiserum specific for the globular domain of the bovine very lysine-rich histone subfraction H1(0) cross-reacted with a single protein band in the chromosomal proteins isolated from microplasmodia of the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Its amino acid composition was characteristic of a very lysine-rich histone which supported its identification as Physarum H1(0). Unlike Physarum H1(0...

The H1 data preservation project was started in 2009 as part of the global data preservation initiative in high-energy physics, DPHEP. In order to retain the full potential for future improvements, the H1 Collaboration aims for level 4 of the DPHEP recommendations, which requires the full simulation and reconstruction chain as well as the data to be preserved for future analysis. A major goal o...

Problem. Find the smallest positive integer d you can such that there is a smooth complex projective 3-fold X with a very ample divisor A and a positive integer b not dividing 6 such that A3 = d and every complex curve C on X has A · C ≡ 0 (mod b). For example, b could be 4. Kollár showed that if a positive integer d has this property, then the integral Hodge conjecture fails for very general h...

Given graphs H1, . . . ,Hk, let f(H1, . . . ,Hk) be the minimum order of a graph G such that for each i, the induced copies of Hi in G cover V (G). We prove constructively that f(H1,H2) ≤ 2(n(H1) + n(H2) − 2); equality holds when H1 = H2 = Kn. We prove that f(H1,Kn) = n + 2 √ δ(H1)n + O(1) as n → ∞. We also determine f(K1,m−1,Kn) exactly.

We study some problems pertaining to the tournament equilibrium set (τ for short). A tournament H is a τ-retentive tournament if there is a tournament T which has a minimal τ-retentive set R such that T [R] is isomorphic to H. We study τ-retentive tournaments and achieve many significant results. In particular, we prove that there are no τretentive tournaments of size 4, only 2 non-isomorphic τ...

Influenza A viruses are a respiratory pathogen that cause annual epidemics as well as many well-known pandemics such as Russian flu (1889), Spanish flu (1918), Asian Flu (1957) and the recent Mexico swine flu (2009). The viral envelope, the hemagglutinin (HA), in particular HA1, confers the antigenic sites, receptor binding sites and induces immune response. HA1 of the H1 influenza consists of ...

nm23-H1, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK), enhances drug sensitivity and has antimetastatic activity, whereas focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is closely associated with cell migration and tumour spreading. The relationship between these two proteins, however, is not well elucidated. In this study, we investigate their correlation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Expression...

B7-H1 is a co-inhibitory molecule belonging to the B7 family. The B7-H1 protein is only expressed on macrophage lineage of cells in normal tissues, but is overexpressed in most types of tumor. The aberrant expression of cell surface B7-H1 on cancer cells is generally associated with high-risk prognostic factors. The tumor-associated B7-H1 increases apoptosis of antigen-specific T cells through ...

Exposure of HeLa S3 cells to high hydrostatic pressure (6.89 x 10(3) to 6.89 x 10(4) kPa: 1000 to 10,000 lbfin-2) reduced core and H1 histone mRNA levels as determined by hybridization to specific histone DNA probes. At 4.14 x 10(4) kPa for 10 min core histone and H1 histone mRNA levels were reduced 32-38% and 56%, respectively. At 30 min postdecompression core mRNA levels returned to atmospher...

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a commercially important fruit but its production and quality are restricted by litchi downy blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen Peronophythora litchii Chen. Volatile substances produced by a biocontrol antinomycetes Streptomyces fimicarius BWL-H1 could inhibited P. litchii growth and development both in vitro and in detached litchi leaf and fruit infectio...
