Mechanisms Underlying Broad Spectrum Resistance Genome-wide interactions between Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and rice resulting from a broad-spectrum hypersensitive reaction (BSHR) mediated by a new rice R gene, Xa39, were investigated by comparative dynamic transcriptomic profiles in the incompatible and compatible interactions using three related rice lines and a highly virulent Xoo i...

Internationa/Journal of Epidemiology 1982,11: 99-100. This historical note examines the effect of population migration on the number of fatal cholera cases reported by John Snow in the Golden Square area of London during the fall of 1854. A meth...

This paper studies organizations in which participants have common preferences but communication is costly. In this model, use words to describe similar information, but need not use precise words for frequent events and vague words for unusual ones. The model identifies a source of communication failure across units. It provides an argument for giving the best-informed agents decision-making a...

Volume 14, Number 2 280 Interwoven are Mnookin’s investigations into cognitive science about the reliability of instinct and gut reaction—often cited by parents as reasons for not vaccinating their children. One author of this review read The Panic Virus as a student in an undergraduate public health microbiology course and found the book detailed yet readable. Worthwhile for students seeking a...

The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of personality and language characteristics that reflect the phenotypic expression of the genetic liability to autism, in non-autistic relatives of autistic individuals. These characteristics are milder but qualitatively similar to the defining features of autism. A new instrument designed to measure the BAP in adults, the Broad Autism Phenotype Questio...

ATLAS and CMS have each reported a modest diphoton excess consistent with the decay of a broad resonance at ∼ 750 GeV. We show how this signal can arise in a weakly coupled theory comprised solely of narrow width particles. In particular, if the decaying particle is produced offshell, then the associated diphoton resonance will have a broad, adjustable width. We present simplified models which ...

Given the determination of the opposition to present the review of the National Health Service as a revelation of the cloven hoof of Thatcherism and the government's determination to present it as a millenarian vision, it is all too easy to lose sight of its true importance. Its immediate impact is likely to be less dramatic than expected, apart from the demands on the negotiating time of every...

Nuclear medicine imaging has been used to localize infection sites and efforts have been continued to develop modified infection specific radiopharmaceuticals. In this study gemifloxacin as a broad-spectrum quinolone has been labeled with [99mTc (CO)3 (H2O)3]+ core in order to evaluate its feasibility as an infection imaging agent for in vivo use. The stability of radioconjugate was checked in ...
