Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Glabrous D62-7812) plants were grown in aerated Hoagland and Arnon mineral nutrient solution containing 0 or 2.6 mum S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) in a growth chamber. After 19 days exposure to EPTC, total leaf fresh weight was reduced 18% by 2.6 mum EPTC while total leaf fatty acid content was reduced 63%. Galactolipid content decreased while phospho...

PURPOSE To report outcomes in 10 patients who underwent dynamic "S" Quattro external fixation for complex fractures of the base of the thumb. METHODS Nine men and one woman aged 18 to 69 (mean, 31) years underwent "S" Quattro external fixation for complex fractures of the base of the thumb. The dominant hand was involved in 8 patients. Three patients had Bennett fractures, 5 had Rolando fract...

NO* (nitric oxide) is a pleiotropic signalling molecule, with many of its effects on cell function being elicited at the level of the mitochondrion. In addition to the well-characterized binding of NO* to the Cu(B)/haem-a3 site in mitochondrial complex IV, it has been proposed by several laboratories that complex I can be inhibited by S-nitrosation of a cysteine. However, direct molecular evide...

The S transform, which is introduced in this correspondence, is an extension of the ideas of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and is based on a moving and scalable localizing Gaussian window. It is shown here to have some desirable characteristics that are absent in the continuous wavelet transform. The S transform is unique in that it provides frequency-dependent resolution while mainta...

We attack a conjecture of J. Rogawski: any cocompact lattice in SU(2, 1) for which the ball quotient X = B/Γ satisfies b1(X) = 0 and H (X)∩H(X,Q) ≈ Q is arithmetic. We prove the Archimedian suprerigidity for representation of Γ is SL(3,C). Théorie de Simpson et superrigidité des réseaux hyperboliques complexes Résumé Soit Γ ⊂ SU(2, 1) un reseau cocompact et soit X = B/Γ. Nous preuvons: si b1(X)...

Primary cilia play critical roles in many aspects of biology. Specialized versions of primary cilia are involved in many aspects of sensation. The single photoreceptor sensory cilium (PSC) or outer segment elaborated by each rod and cone photoreceptor cell of the retina is a classic example. Mutations in genes that encode cilia components are common causes of disease, including retinal degenera...

Global biodiversity continues along a trajectory of decline despite enormous conservation efforts (Rands et al., 2010). This is also true in China, one of the most biodiversity-rich countries in the world (Liu and Raven, 2010; Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, 2010a). To fundamentally change this trajectory, it is essential to understand complex interactions among various forces af...

We present near infrared broad band (J,H and K) and narrow band (H2 S(1) 1 → 0 and Brγ) images, and high resolution molecular observations (C34S(2-1), (3-2), (5-4) and 13CO(2-1)) around the highly variable H2O maser located between the S 235 A and B optical nebulosities. These observations are part of an on-going search for the sources of excitation of H2O masers in regions of star formation or...
