The bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) recombinants BHV-1/eG(ori) and BHV-1/eG(syn) were isolated after insertion of expression cassettes which contained either a genomic RNA-derived cDNA fragment (BHV-1/eG(ori)) or a modified, chemically synthesized open reading frame (ORF) (BHV-1/eG(syn)), which both encode the attachment glycoprotein G of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), a class II membr...

Embryonic germ (EG) cells derived from primordial germ cells are undifferentiated and pluripotent stem cells. In our study, primordial germ cells isolated from the genital ridges of Beijing duck (Anas domestica) embryo at stage 28 were co-cultured with mice embryonic fibroblasts. Duck EG cells grew with a high nuclear:cytoplasm ratio and were positive for periodic acid-Schiff and alkaline phosp...

Because of the associativity of fusion products ⊠, the above hypothesis is equivalent to the condition that for each irreducible module W , there is an irreducible module W̃ such that HomV (W̃ ⊠ W,V ) 6= 0. In the previous paper [6], we have introduced a concept of ”Semi-Rigidity” and then proved that if W is semi-rigid, then W is flat for the fusion products ⊠, that is, 0 → W ⊠ A → W ⊠ B → W ⊠ C...

Unconventional gas drilling (UGD) has enabled extraordinarily rapid growth in the extraction of natural gas. Despite frequently expressed public concern, human health studies have not kept pace. We investigated the association of proximity to UGD in the Marcellus Shale formation and perinatal outcomes in a retrospective cohort study of 15,451 live births in Southwest Pennsylvania from 2007-2010...

Thermally expanded graphite (EG) polymer composite has high potential for application in the modern thermo-electronic industry due to cost-effectiveness and excellent electrical thermal properties. In this study, we report conductivity enhancement of graphite/polyetherimide (EG/PEI) fabricated by a simple solution mixing technique. Expanded enable larger properties relative graphene nanoplatele...

BACKGROUND/AIM To assess and compare measured ventilatory volumes (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), peak expirium flow (PEF) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV)), ventilatory function capacities (forced vital capacity (FVC) and vital capacity (VC)) and FEV1/VC ratio in a sample of power and endurance elite athletes and their age-matched and sex-matched sedentary control group. METH...

This paper briefly describes the status of Temperature and Chlorophyll-a trend in Kalpakkam Coast, discusses its ecological and temperature impacts recommending measures to achieve long term sustainability using advanced tools like Geographic Information System (GIS). Present study reveals the monthly spatial distribution of Temperature and Chlorophyll-a at Kalpakkam. Transect based in-situ Tem...

This study explored the effects of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) immunity on expression of FSHR mRNA in pituitary and FSHR protein in uteri, and also confirmed its efficacy on uterine development. 42 prepuberty and non cyclic ewes were assigned to 6 experimental groups (EG) during anestrus season. Animals in EG-I, EG-II and EG-III were subcutaneously injected with 200, 300 and 400 μg alarelin antigens (...
