The R-Tree and variant indexes have been used for multidimensional indexing since 1984 and applied to temporal data since 1994. Despite this, there are few functional implementations of the index that can be applied directly to the temporal data. This paper explores the use of the index for temporal subsequence searches and identifies two implications that must be considered so the index can be...

The presence of a single resistance (R) gene allele can determine plant disease resistance. The protein products of such genes may act as receptors that specifically interact with pathogen-derived factors. Most functionally defined R-genes are of the nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) supergene family and are present as large multigene families. The specificity of R-gene inte...

Adipose tissue is a major source of inflammatory and thrombotic cytokines. This study investigated the relationship of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue cytokine gene expression to body composition, fat distribution, and metabolic risk during obesity. We determined body composition, abdominal fat distribution, plasma lipids, and abdominal subcutaneous fat gene expression of leptin, TNF-alph...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

By fusion between murine thymoma lines which are either homozygous (r+/r+ or r-/r-) or hemizygous (r+/r-) for the glucocorticoid receptor structural gene r, hybrid clones have been obtained which carry one, two three, or four copies of the r+ allele. These hybrids contain different amounts of normal glucocorticoid receptor as the result of a r+ gene dosage effect. Measurements of the cytolytic ...

The presence of four different isoforms of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormones (LHRH) and one LHRH receptor (LHRH-R) has been reported in vertebrates. In the human genome only LHRH-I and LHRH-II genes have been identified. The human LHRH-I gene is composed of four exons separated by three introns. Three LHRH receptor or receptor-like genes have been demonstrated. The well-established type-I ...

background: although aberrant protamine (prm) ratios have been observed in infertile men, the mechanisms that implicit the uncoupling of prm1 and prm2 expression remain unclear. to uncover these mechanisms, in this observational study we have compared the prm1/prm2 mrna ratio and mrna contents of two regulatory factors of these genes. materials and methods: in this experimental study, sampling ...

Leguminous plants can enter into root nodule symbioses with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria known as rhizobia. An intriguing but still poorly understood property of the symbiosis is its host specificity, which is controlled at multiple levels involving both rhizobial and host genes. It is widely believed that the host specificity is determined by specific recognition of bacterially derived Nod fa...
