Analysis of double-stranded RNAs produced in maize plants infected with maize chlorotic mottle machlomovirus (MCMV) and Northern blots of total RNA from infected plants or protoplasts showed two subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs). Primer extension was used to map these sgRNAs, which are 1.47 and 0.34 kb long. The transcription start sites are nucleotide (nt) 2970 or 2971 for sgRNA1 and nt 4101 for sgRNA2...

The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity, and patterns of taurine/zebuine admixt...

Background: The ability of nursing staff to determine stroke deglutition disorders is important in care of stroke patients. Purpose: This study aimed to increase diagnostic accuracy of stroke deglutition disorders among nursing staff in stroke care. Method: By comprehensive determination of the most accurate water volume for the diagnosis of stroke deglutition disorders using evidence-based met...

Platelet adhesion on von Willebrand factor (vWf) requires the co-ordinated adhesive function of glycoprotein Ib/V/IX and integrin αIIbβ3. Recent evidence [Nesbitt, Kulkarni, Giuliano, Gonclaves, Dopheide, Yap, Harper, Salem and Jackson (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 2965–2972] suggests that outside-in signals from both receptors play important roles in regulating plateletadhesion dynamics under flo...

Velocity increments over a distance r and turbulent energy dissipation on a box of size r are well described by the multifractal models of fully developed turbulence. These quantities and models however, do not involve time-correlations and therefore are not a detailed test of the dynamics of the turbulent cascade. If the time development of the turbulent cascade, in the inertial range, is rela...

Measurement of permeability of cigarette envelope papers used in Low Ignition Propensity (LIP) cigarettes presents a number of practical problems:  Measurements must be made on both the conventional and low permeability band regions.  The low permeability band must be measured using a small orifice (15 x 2 mm compared to the normal 20 x 10 mm) with a flow as low as 1 ml/minute.  Leakage from...

Introduction: The results of clinical studies about the severity of post stoke dementia patients are limited in Korea. We investigate clinical factors related to severity of dementia and to inspect the clinical factors related to the progression of dementia severity. Methods: The patients who visited the hospital by first time between March 2010 and September 2012, among the patients with post ...
