Restriction endonucleases are bacterial enzymes that cleave DNA at specific sites. The resulting DNA fragments may be separated electrophoretically in gel to form specific restriction patterns. In the present study, the restriction endonuclease method was successfully adapted to the analysis of the chromosomal DNA of Neisseria meningitidis. The endonucleases HindIII and EcoRI provided optimal r...

Butanol as a fuel has high oxygen content, so the combustion process will be more friendly to environment. In this study, butanol mixed with RON-90 gasoline capacity of 5% (B5); 7%(B7); 10%(B10); 12%(B12); 15%(B15) and 18%(B18). The engine used is an automatic transmission 109.5cc compression ratio 9.5:1. test equipment for performance exhaust emissions 50L BRT Super-Dyno EPSG4 Gas Analyzer. re...

This review will focus on those areas where adult clinical practice has developed; the topics selected are those which, it is hoped, will be of...

The central detectors of the ALICE experiment at LHC will produce a data size of up to 75 MB=event at an event rate p200 Hz resulting in a data rate of B15 GB=s: Online processing of the data is necessary in order to select interesting (sub)events (‘‘High Level Trigger’’), or to compress data efficiently by modeling techniques. Processing this data requires a massive parallel computing system (...
