An association with fungal exposure is less well studied. It is often assumed that such exposures generally occur outside, apart from mo...

Theallostericmechanismbywhich the gene expression regulatory protein AraC regulates its DNA-binding activity is shown to be portable by grafting it to -galactosidase, generating an arabinose-regulated -galactosidase. A portion of the -peptide sequence that complements the activity of -acceptor -galactosidase was inserted into a nonessential region of the regulatory peptidyl arm of AraC protein....

We developed an equation for estimating Arundo donax shoot dry weight from shoot length. The equation, shoot dry weight (g) = 14.254 (standard error = 0.275) shoot height (m), was as effective at explaining a high proportion of total variation in shoot dry weight (R = 0.90) as more complicated equations containing additional morphometric parameters. Tested against two independent datasets, the ...

Many factors influence alcohol absorption, yet few studies have addressed the issue of whether or not experimental manipulations themselves may affect alcohol absorption. The current balanced placebo design study comparing the expectancy effects of root beer and non-alcoholic beer vehicles resulted in significantly lower blood alcohol levels in the root beer condition than in the beer condition...
