Particle production in p+p and central Pb+Pb collisions at LHC is discussed in the context of the statistical thermal model. For heavy-ion collisions, predictions of various particle ratios are presented. The sensitivity of several ratios on the temperature and the baryon chemical potential is studied in detail, and some of them, which are particularly appropriate to determine the chemical free...

In the interest of identifying components of the Cdc28 protein kinase complex, dosage suppression analysis was performed on temperature-sensitive and dominant negative CDC28 mutations. Dosage suppression is based on a rationale in which elevated expression of wild-type genes can rescue mutations in a target gene as a result of interaction between the respective encoded proteins. Three sequences...

Pseudomonas syringae is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects multiple plant species by manipulating cellular processes via injection of type three secreted effectors (T3SEs) into host cells. Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) resistance (R) proteins recognize specific T3SEs and trigger a robust immune response, called effector-triggered immunity (ETI), which limits pathogen prolifer...

Sister chromatid cohesion is established during S phase and maintained until anaphase. The cohesin complex (Mcd1p/Scc1p, Smc1p, Smc3p Irr1p/Scc3p in budding yeast) serves a structural role as it is required at all times when cohesion exists. Pds5p colocalizes temporally and spatially with cohesin on chromosomes but is thought to serve as a regulator of cohesion maintenance during mitosis. In co...

Background and objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in central nervous system. In some cases, the patients who were suspected to MS, Whereas MRI images are normal, but whether patients don’t have MS plaques or MRI images are not enough optimized enough in order to show MS plaques? The aim of the current study is ...

Microbe-based biocontrol applications hold the potential to become an efficient way to control plant pathogen disease outbreaks in the future. However, their efficiency is still very variable, which could be due to their sensitivity to the abiotic environmental conditions.Here, we assessed how environmental temperature variation correlates with ability of Ralstonia pickettii, an endophytic bact...

Instantons at finite temperature consist of dyons, with their masses depending on the asymptotic Polyakov loop. It is shown that the suppression of heavy dyons can explain qualitatively the behavior of the periodic and antiperiodic chiral condensate and the topological susceptibility above the phase transition. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attributi...

We study the response of the heavy-light meson mass to the chemical potential (∂m/∂µ) at high temperature and at zero chemical potential. Preliminary results show that ∂m/∂µ|µ=0 is negative in the confinement phase and is positive in the deconfinement phase. This may suggest the possibility for the suppression of J/ψ without the quark gluon plasma formation.

The local structure of high-pressure ${\mathrm{BaTiO}}_{3}$ has been interrogated by neutron total scattering methods up to pressures 4.18 GPa at ambient temperature. Competitive refinements cubic, tetragonal, and rhombohedral distortion modes against pair distribution functions indicate contrasting behavior temperature- pressure-induced cubic ${\mathrm{BaTiO}}_{3}$. Suppression the mode amplit...

I discuss quarkonium suppression in equilibrated strongly interacting matter. After a brief review of basic features of quarkonium production I discuss the application of recent lattice data on the heavy quark potential to the problem of quarkonium dissociation as well as the problem of direct lattice determination of quarkonium properties in finite temperature lattice QCD.
