Abstract Symbiosis of Penicillium rolfsii Y-1 is essential for the seed germination Hawaii yellow-eyed grass (Xyris complanata). However, local soil where plants grow naturally often suppresses radicle growth seedlings. This was drastically restored by coinoculation Paraburkholderia phenazinium isolate CK-PC1, which a rhizobacterium X. complanata. It found that CK-PC1 produced phenazine-1-carbo...

Unaccustomed exercise may cause muscle breakdown with marked increase in serum creatine kinase (CK) activity. The skeletal muscle renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in exercise metabolism and tissue injury. A functional insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism in the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene (rs4646994) has been associated with ACE activity. We hypothesized ...

Optical potentials with non-local (gradient) terms are used to describe the spectra of kaonic atoms. The strength of the non-local terms is determined from a self consistent many-body calculation of the kaon self energy in nuclear matter based on s-wave kaon nucleon interactions. The optical potentials show strong non-linearities in the nucleon density and sizeable non-local terms. We find that...

PURPOSE Clinical significance of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) in bone marrow of early breast cancer patients has been reported, but improvements in detection methods are needed. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Bone marrow aspirates from 621 patients with stage I to III breast cancer were screened for cytokeratin-positive (CK+) cells. CK+ cells were categorized into DTC only if they had specific morphol...

semantic properties is repeated here. Instead of mapping the intended domain on the Herbrand Universe and using specialized unification, programming is done directly in the intended domain using its natural constraints. We thus use an algebraic framework as well as a logic programming one. This revision of the scheme is called CLP which stands for Constraint Logic Programming. A CLP program con...

This paper proves a discrete analogue of the Poincaré lemma in the context of a discrete exterior calculus based on simplicial cochains. The proof requires the construction of a generalized cone operator, p :Ck(K)→ Ck+1(K), as the geometric cone of a simplex cannot, in general, be interpreted as a chain in the simplicial complex. The corresponding cocone operator H :Ck(K)→ Ck−1(K) can be shown ...
