Sheep scab caused by the mite Psoroptes ovis (Hering) is a highly contagious disease of sheep. As a first step in developing a mite-derived vaccine for controlling the disease, the soluble antigens in mite extracts which induce an immune response in sheep were identified by electrophoretic and immunoblotting techniques. At least 22 proteins were present in P. ovis extracts as revealed by Coomas...

Carboxamidoquinoline appended calix[4]arene-1,3-di-conjugate (L) has been synthesized and characterized and its single crystal XRD structure has been established. L has been shown to act as selective ratiometric turn-on fluorescence sensor for Zn(2+) up to a lowest concentration of 183 ± 18 ppb (2.82 μM) with a nine-fold enhancement by exhibiting blue-green emission. The coordination features o...

Azo dyes are widely prevalent environmental contaminants that are recalcitrant to biodegradation processes and have detrimental biological effects. Hence, exploring the novel microbial agents and to develop ecofriendly cost-effective process is pertinent for treatment of textile effluents. A fungal consortium comprising three strains Penicillium oxalicum SAR-3, Aspergillus niger SAR-6 and Asper...

(A) OFC regions in which GM correlated with social influence on value (Binf) (threshold p < 0.001, FWE corrected at p < 0.05; right peak 36 mm 33 mm –10 mm, PFWE = 0.023, T = 5.56, 73 voxels; left peak –33 mm 28 mm –16 mm, ...

We analyze a single-shot readout for superconducting qubits via the controlled catch, dispersion, and release of a microwave field. A tunable coupler is used to decouple the microwave resonator from the transmission line during the dispersive qubit-resonator interaction, thus circumventing damping from the Purcell effect. We show that, if the qubit frequency tuning is sufficiently adiabatic, a ...

We applied in the previous study miRNA microarray screening analysis to identify several differentially expressed miRNAs, including miR-183 in normal, eutopic, and ectopic endometrium. Knockdown of miR-183 expression induced the invasiveness and inhibition of apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells. The current study aims to identify the miR-183 targets with relevance to cell functions in endome...
