We have directly compared the ability of four promoters and three polyadenylation (poly(A)) signals to direct heterologous gene expression in stably transfected Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells. We compared two constitutive Drosophila promoters, the actin 5C distal promoter and the alpha 1-tubulin promoter, with the tightly regulated Drosophila metallothionein (Mtn) promoter and the Bombyx mori...

in order to investigate the effects of cold stress on antioxidant enzymes and physiological characteristics in chickpea, two separate experiments were conducted at germination and seedling stages. each experiment with six temperature levels (t1(control)=15c°, t2=5c°, t3=0c°, t4=-5c°, t5=-10c° and t6=-15c°) and three varieties (v1=pirouz v2=ilc482 v3=bivaniej) was carried out in a randomized com...

Two previous investigations were performed to assess the activity of Gelsemium sempervirens (Gelsemium s.) in mice, using emotional response models. These two series are pooled and analysed here. Gelsemium s. in various homeopathic centesimal dilutions/dynamizations (4C, 5C, 7C, 9C, and 30C), a placebo (solvent vehicle), and the reference drugs diazepam (1 mg/kg body weight) or buspirone (5 mg/...

Abstract. There have been numerous recent publications showing that mineral dust might be a good absorber for solar radiation in addition to its capability to act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice forming nuclei (IFN), and could lead to reduced cloud cover and precipitation in the region where it is present. This effect is investigated using a dynamic cloud model with detailed microphy...

Background and Aims The international Inflammatory Bowel Disease [IBD] Expert Alliance initiative [2012-2015] served as a platform to define and support areas of best practice in IBD management to help improve outcomes for all patients with IBD. Methods During the programme, IBD specialists from around the world established by consensus two best practice charters: the 5S Principles and the 5C...

Impaired cognitive processing is a hallmark of addiction. In particular, deficits in inhibitory control can propel continued drug use despite adverse consequences. Clinical evidence shows that detoxified alcoholics exhibit poor inhibitory control in the Continuous Performance Task (CPT) and related tests of motor impulsivity. Animal models may provide important insight into the neural mechanism...

Objective: An investigation of isolation of Lactic acid bacteria was carried out under low temperature for the preparation of Yogurt by using various food supplements like carrot, ground-nut and tomato juices. Methods: Various samples of Cow milk, Skimmed milk were processed along with nutrients like Carrot, ground nut and tomato juices with Tryptone glucose yeast extract agar (TGYA) at differe...
