Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that bind to specific sites on the DNA and regulate gene activity. Identifying where TF molecules bind and how much time they spend on their target sites is key to understanding transcriptional regulation. It is usually assumed that the free energy of binding of a TF to the DNA (the affinity of the site) is highly correlated to the amount of time the TF ...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to automatically detect and quantify calcium lesions for the whole heart as well as per coronary artery on non-contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomographic images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Imaging data from 366 patients were randomly selected from patients who underwent computed tomographic calcium scoring assessments between July 2004 and May...

Till date, only one draft genome has been reported within the genus Mangrovibacter. Here, we report the second draft genome shotgun sequence of a Mangrovibacter sp. strain MP23 that was isolated from the roots of Phargmites karka (P. karka), an invasive weed growing in the Chilika Lagoon, Odisha, India. Strain MP23 is a facultative anaerobic, nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria that grows optim...

in this research, a cold model of internally circulating fluidized bed is investigated. the aim is to find the effects of some of the operating parameters on the performance of the reactor. experiments were carried out in a glass column (30 mm i.d. and 25 cm height) with a centrally located draft tube (11 mm i.d. and 5 or 7 cm height). the bed was loaded with white silica particles (dp = 0.15 -...

This report describes a draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum CRL1506, a probiotic strain with immunomodulatory properties isolated from goat milk. The reads generated by a whole-genome shotgun (WGS) strategy on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer were assembled into contigs with a total size of 3,228,096 bp. The draft genome sequence of L. plantarum CRL1506 will be useful for further studie...

The Apgar score has played a crucial role in the delivery room assessment of newborn babies since 1953, 2 but this system has its limitations and is prone to interobserver variation. 4 Moreover, scoring definitions in textbooks vary slightly and no specific guidelines are available for scoring intubated babies. We studied variations between observers and focussed on the scoring of respiratory e...

The following presents a review of power laws in financial economics. It is a chapter from a preliminary draft of a very long review article called “Beyond equilibrium and efficiency”. While some of the discussion is specific to economics, most of it applies to power laws in general – the nouns may change, but the underlying questions are similar in many fields. This draft is still highly preli...
