During the study of inheritance of breast muscle morphology of turkeys during embryonic development and posthatch in two experiments, interesting results were obtained at 16 wk of age. In experiment 1, an experimental line (F) selected long term for increased 16-wk BW was crossed reciprocally with a commercial sire line (B). Samples of pectoralis major muscle were obtained from three males and ...

the number of PCR products that exhibited methylated-and unmethylated-p16 of two representative GC samples as determined using the 83bp-MSP assay. The lower panel compares the detection of methylated-p16 in 61 gastric tissue samples using the 83bp-MSP and sMSP assays. The table indicated that the results of the 83bp-MSP correlated with those of sMSP significantly (p<0.04).

We propose and explore a novel approach, called the sequence model, to text retrieval. The model differs from classical ones in the extent of how positional information of term occurrences is used for relevance judgment. In the sequence model, documents and queries are viewed as sequences of term-position pairs and the relevance of a document to a query is judged by the similarity between their...

This short note is devoted to the representative dynamics, a new concept, which realizes a link between the theory of controlled systems and representation theory, and the dynamical inverse problem of representation theory for controlled systems. Thus, it may be considered as a development of ideas of the earlier article [1], which follows the general ideology of inverse problems of representat...

An emerging approach to the understanding and exploitation of metabolic processes is metabolic/ pathway engineering. This implies a targeted and purposeful manipulation of the capabilities of an organism. We are pursuing this broad research objective. Specifically, the acidogenic metabolism of Aspergillus niger has served as the paradigm. Molecular genetic tools are being employed to understand...

The tropical Asian cyprinid genus Puntius is a major part of the ichthyofauna in Southeast Asia. Systematic status of the genus Puntius among Cyprinidae, the most prominent freshwater fish all over the world, remain to be substantiated. The molecular phylogenetic analyses derived from Recombination activating genesequences (RAG2) for 35 representative samples of Malaysian Puntius and their alli...
