Many small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are encoded within introns of protein-encoding genes and are released by processing of their host pre-mRNA. We have investigated the mechanism of processing of the yeast U18 snoRNA, which is found in the intron of the gene coding for translational elongation factor EF-1beta. We have focused our analysis on the relationship between splicing of the EF-1beta pre...

BACKGROUND The 2009 pandemic influenza was milder than expected. Based on the apparent lack of pre-existing cross-protective antibodies to the A (H1N1)pdm09 strain, it was hypothesized that pre-existing CD4+ T cellular immunity provided the crucial immunity that led to an attenuation of disease severity. We carried out a pilot scale study by conducting in silico and in vitro T cellular assays i...

2000 ribosomes have to be synthesized in yeast every minute. Therefore the fast production of ribosomal proteins, their efficient delivery to the nucleus and correct incorporation into ribosomal subunits are prerequisites for optimal growth rates. Here, we report that the ankyrin repeat protein Yar1 directly interacts with the small ribosomal subunit protein Rps3 and accompanies newly synthesiz...

Athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI), and in particular tetraplegia, have an increased risk of heat strain and consequently heat illness relative to able-bodied individuals. Strategies that reduce the heat strain during exercise in a hot environment may reduce the risk of heat illness. To test the hypotheses that precooling or cooling during intermittent sprint exercise in a heated environmen...

High-temperature pre-stretching experiments were carried out on the AZ31 Mg alloy at 723 K with strain levels of 2.54%, 6.48%, 10.92%, and 19.2% to alter microstructure texture for improving room-temperature formability. The results showed that strain-hardening coefficient increased, while Lankford value decreased. In addition, Erichsen values all pre-stretch sheets enhanced compared as-receive...

The recent worldwide spread of the swine-origin H1N1 2009 influenza outbreak has resulted in its designation as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. While it appears to result in mild symptoms, concern still exists that a more severe influenza pandemic with a high case fatality ratio might arise by reassortment or mutation of the currently circulating avian influenza (H5N1) virus. Given...

This paper advances the design of Rod Pre-strained Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (RP-DEAs) in their capability to generate comparatively large static actuation forces with increased lifetime via optimized electrode arrangements. RP-DEAs utilize thin stiff rods to constrain the expansion of the elastomer and maintain the in-plane pre-strain in the rod longitudinal direction. The aim is to study...

Severe plastic deformations under high pressure are used to produce nanostructured materials but were studied ex-situ. Rough diamond anvils introduced reach maximum friction equal yield strength in shear and the first in-situ study of evolution pressure-dependent radial distribution nanostructural parameters performed for severely pre-deformed Zr. ω-Zr behaves like perfectly plastic, isotropic,...

Four-dimensional (4D) printing is an emerging technology by adding the dimension of time-dependent reconfiguration into 3D printing. It enables printed structure to change shape, property, or functionality under external stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, and light, etc. Among existing 4D structures, thermal responsive structures are widely used for their easy operation. However, slow...
