We present the cloning and characterization of mei-P26, a novel P-element-induced exchange-defective female meiotic mutant in Drosophila melanogaster. Meiotic exchange in females homozygous for mei-P26(1) is reduced in a polar fashion, such that distal chromosomal regions are the most severely affected. Additional alleles generated by duplication of the P element reveal that mei-P26 is also nec...

Antibodies were produced against myosins isolated from the left atrial myocardium (anti-bAm) and the left ventricular myocardium (anti-bVm) of the bovine heart. Cross-reactive antibodies were removed by cross-absorption. Absorbed anti-bAm and anti-bVm were specific for the myosin heavy chains when tested by enzyme immunoassay combined with SDS gel electrophoresis. Indirect immunofluorescence wa...

Optical remote sensing has gained major technology breakthroughs and outstanding merits in monitoring the urban areas in disaster conditions. However, any change detection procedure must be checked for its level of sensitivities to different aspects of the phenomenon, materials and aspects of changes. So far, pixel-based and object-based image processing algorithms have been well received and u...

dubas bug, ommatissus lybicus de bergevin (hem.: tropiduchidae), is a key pest of date palms in iran.this pest was first reported on date palms in 1966 and has been established throughout the date producing regions in southern iran since. date palm is the only host plant of dubas bug. it attacks almost all date palm varieties, esp. mazafati variety in city of bam, kerman province and other vari...

A classical bidirectional associative memory (BAM) suffers from low storage capacity and abundance of spurious memories though it has the properties of good generalization and noise immunity. In this paper, Hamming distance in recall procedure of usual asymmetrical BAM is replaced with modified Hamming distance by introducing weighting matrix into connection matrix. This generalization is valid...

In this paper fuzzy bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with constant delays are considered. Some sufficient conditions for existence and global exponential stability of unique equilibrium point are established by using fixed point theorem and differential inequality techniques. The results obtained are easily checked to guarantee existence, uniqueness and global exponential...

The idea of assessing the damages to roads network after earthquake strikes has been referred as a matter of importance for performing every systematically planned activity in the affected region. When gathering information about the devastated region is crucially costly and time-consuming and in most cases impossible, high-resolution satellite imagery is hired to provide fast and accurate info...

In this study, Penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in Bam city. Antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Zataria multiflora, Myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibi...

This is a study of paradigmatic relations and of their significance for the link between phonology and phonetics *. A paradigm is a set of words sharing a morpheme of phrases sharing a word (e.g.{bomb, the bomb, ...}). The main component of the analyses presented here is the preference for uniform paradigms, that is paradigms sharing contextually invariant morphemes. A Paradigm Uniformity (PU) ...
