Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...

abstract in the past twenty-five years, the russian government has been faced with widespread corruption and despite many efforts it hasn’t been able to control that. according to transparency international report in 2013, this country was the 127th among 177 countries. this essay tries to analyze the role of administrative oligarchy and continuity of corruption in russia. the main question of ...

Inheritance is the vital feature of any object oriented software which provides reuse of exiting classes for designing new classes. Higher reuse provides higher productivity and greater quality. Inheritance hierarchy is one of the very important artifacts targeted for measurement of reuse and reusability. Reuse through inheritance hierarchy can be measured from two dimensionsDepth and Breadth. ...

Inheritance is the main principle in object-oriented design methods to support structuring and reuse of object behaviour descriptions. Most proposals restrict the (formal) use of inheritance to method interfaces and method eeect speciications. We propose to extend the inheritance relation to cover whole object life cycles, i.e. to long term object behaviour. After sketching the basic idea of in...

In this paper, ω-closed sets and ω-open sets are used to define and investigate a new class of functions. Relationships between this new class and other classes of functions are established.

a stable agrobacterium-mediated transformation system was established using bialaphos as the selective agent in soybeans [glycine max (l.) merr.]. the cotyledonary node explants of the soybean cultivar ‘ny-1001’ were inoculated with the agrobacterium tumefaciens strain eha105, harboring the vector pcambia3301 containing the gus gene as the reporter gene and the bar gene conferring bialaphos res...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although continuity of care has been found to be associated with improved health outcomes in children, little is known about what factors predict having consistent contact with a pediatric provider. This study explored what patient, family, provider, and system factors are associated with high continuity of both total and well-child care. METHODS This cross-sectional...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the Hölder continuity of solution mapping to a parametric variational inequality‎. ‎At first‎, ‎recalling a real-valued gap function of the problem‎, ‎we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the gap function‎. ‎Then under the strong monotonicity‎, ‎we establish the Hölder continuity of the single-valued solution mapping for the problem‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we apply these resu...

BACKGROUND The relationship between continuity of care and user characteristics or outcomes has rarely been explored. The ECHO study operationalized and tested a multi-axial definition of continuity of care, producing a seven-factor model used here. AIMS To assess the relationship between user characteristics and established components of continuity of care, and the impact of continuity on cl...
