A thermosensitive sporulation mutant was used to determine the order of sporulation operonsin the urs region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. Data from three-factor transformation crosses and three- and four-factor transduction crosses established the order metC-SPO-96(SpoII)-spo-85(SpoV)-spo-279(SpoII)-furA-ura-cysC-spo-NG1.67(SpoIII). Previously, furA was thought to lie to the right of ur...

Mutational damage to DNA may modulate the aging process as well as contribute to the high incidence of cancer in older animals. Uracil (Ura) is the deamination product of cytosine and hydroxymethyluracil (HMU) is an oxidation product of thymine. Ura, when generated from cytosine, induces mutations by mispairing with adenine. Both HMU and Ura are known to be excised from DNA by glycosylases that...

Unilateral renal aplasia (URA), which belongs to congenital solitary functioning kidney (CSFK), may lead to renal failure in patient’s later life. URA is often associated with other malformations, among which urological anomalies are the most common ones. Herein, we present a case of a 52-year-old man with the left URA and aplastic ureter with ipsilateral seminal vesicle opening to (AUISVO). Th...

Abstra t. We solve vis ous Burger's equation using a fast and a urate algorithm referred to here as the redu tion algorithm for omputing near optimal rational approximations. Given a proper rational fun tion with n poles, the redu tion algorithm omputes (for a desired L ∞ -approximation error) a rational approximation of the same form, but with a (near) optimally small number m ≪ n of poles. Al...

The Kaik?ura Earthquake uplifted Peninsula by ??1 m. Uplift in 2016 mainly resulted from slip on an offshore thrust fault (OSTF), modelled to splay the plate-interface, and was further influenced two newly identified faults (Armers Beach Fault, ABF; Te Taumanu TTF) mapped onshore differential lidar (D-lidar). Forward dislocation modelling indicates that peninsula uplift can be reproduced mean o...

The ura-blaster technique for the disruption of Candida albicans genes has been employed in a number of studies to identify possible genes encoding virulence factors of this fungal pathogen. In this study, the URA3-encoded orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) decarboxylase enzyme activities of C. albicans strains with ura-blaster-mediated genetic disruptions were measured. All strains harboring gen...

The purpose of this study was to profile altered patterns of gene expression that characterize abdominal aortic aneurysm and to compare these patterns between different conditions, unruptured (URA) and ruptured (RA). Full-thickness aortic wall tissues were obtained from patients during surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, including unruptured (n=29) and ruptured (n=11). RNA, protein an...

Through the more available acoustic information or polarization provided, vector sensor arrays outperform scalar in accuracy of localization. However, cost a array is higher than that array. To reduce two-dimensional (2-D) array, hybrid T-shaped consisting two orthogonal uniform linear (ULAs) proposed, where one ULA composed sensors and other sensors. By utilizing cross-correlation tensor betwe...

Upper removable appliances (URA), as well as full dentures, are known to be the cause of various complaints related to oral handling of food and beverages, phonation and vocalization, in addition to general discomfort. To test the hypothesis that taste and flavour perception might also be affected by URA, 22 young orthodontic patients (10 males and 12 females aged 11.5 +/- 1.7 years; experiment...
