Golden Gate Assembly is a powerful synthetic biology tool, which utilizes Type IIS enzymes for unidirectional assembly of multiple DNA fragments. The simplicity of its DNA assembly and the exchangeability of standard parts greatly facilitate the generation of combinatorial assembly libraries. Currently there are two popular Golden Gate Assembly frameworks that allow multigene augmentation (MoCl...

Research suggests that religious individuals are more prejudiced against sexual minorities (Herek, 1987). However, the Golden Rule, a universal concept embedded in many religions, emphasizes the importance of treating others with compassion. The present study examined how priming the Golden Rule influenced Buddhists‟ and Christians‟ attitudes toward gay people. We primed participants with Golde...

Canine mast cell tumours (CMCT) are one of the most common skin tumours in dogs with a major impact on canine health. Certain breeds have a higher risk of developing mast cell tumours, suggesting that underlying predisposing germ-line genetic factors play a role in the development of this disease. The genetic risk factors are largely unknown, although somatic mutations in the oncogene C-KIT hav...

Potential wind-energy development in the eastern Rocky Mountain foothills of British Columbia, Canada, raises concerns due to its overlap with a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) migration corridor. The Dokie 1 Wind Energy Project is the first development in this area and stands as a model for other projects in the area because of regional consistency in topographic orientation and weather patte...

OBJECTIVE In recent years, the golden proportions have been evaluated by various researchers in the general population and orthodontic patients to establish their correlation with facial attractiveness and esthetics, but with conflicting results. The present study aimed to analyze the frontal facial golden proportions for three groups of young adult females, an attractive group, and two maloccl...

The Golden Section is proposed to be the preferred ratio in many domains. Starting with Fechner, there were several empirical studies concerning the preference of the Golden Section with inconclusive results. Our main concern is that the Golden Section can neither perceived no produced exactly since it is an irrational number. Therefore, we propose to give a closer look to preferences for ratio...

The interaction between nanoparticles and biomolecules such as protein andDNA is one of the major instructions of nanobiotechnology research. In this study,we have explored the interaction of adenine nucleic base with a representativegolden cluster (Au13) by using dispersion corrected density functional theory(DFT-D3) within GGA-PBE model of theory. Various active sites ...

The objectives of the present study were to monitor the effect of backcrossing through microsatellite markers and to compare different marker assisted selection strategies. Four populations were developed using donor parents resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus and, for all crosses, only individuals resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus were backcrossed. For crosses ARC100-4 x DOR303 a...

a comparative study of the corresponding styles of western and iranian modern architecture has hardly ever been carried out in detail. this paper aims to sketch out an outline for such an investigation and to present a summary of empirical evidence accompanied by field observations to elaborate the ongoing trend of relationship between architectural styles in iran and that of the west. this is ...
