Studies of heterothallic and homothallic strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have led to the suggestion that mating-type information is located at three distinct sites on chromosome 3, although only information at the mating-type (MAT) locus is expressed (Hicks, Strathern and Herskowitz, 1977). We have found that the recessive mutation cmt permits expression of the normally silent copies of mat...

The design and performance of the Berkeley Continuous Media Toolkit (CMT) is described. CMT provides a programming environment for rapid development of continuous media applications. CMT overhead is measured in the context of a simple video playback application and is found to be only a few milliseconds per frame played. As a demonstration of CMT as a research infrastructure, an experiment comp...

While congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) can occur along with other conditions, such as clavicle fracture or brachial plexus injury, these conditions exist outside the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). We present a rare case with concurrence of CMT and a malignant tumor inside the same SCM, along with serial clinical and radiological findings of the atypical features of CMT. The malignant tu...

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the concentrations of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions in milk of lactating dairy cows with and without subclinical mastitis as putative indicators for detecting subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. Materials and Methods: Thirty seven lactating dairy cows were screened for the evidence of subclinical mastitis using California mastitis test (CMT). The...

This document summarises an evaluation of two software release tools CMT and SCRAM which have been identified by the “Software Process RTAG” as possible candidates for a common tool supported by LCG. The evaluation of SCRAM has been carried out by a CMT expert, while CMT has been evaluated by a SCRAM expert. The main goal of the evaluation was to compare and contrast the tools behaviour in a re...

Mutations in neurofilament light (NFL) subunit and small heat-shock protein B1 (HSPB1) cause autosomal-dominant axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E (CMT2E) and type 2F (CMT2F). Previous studies have shown that CMT mutations in NFL and HSPB1 disrupt NF assembly and cause aggregation of NFL protein. In this study, we investigate the role of aggregation of NFL protein in the neurotoxicity o...

BACKGROUND Mastitis is the most important and costly disease in dairy goat production. Subclinical mastitis is common in goats and is mainly caused by contagious bacteria. Several methods to diagnose subclinical mastitis are available. In this study indirect measurement of somatic cell count (SCC) by California Mastitis Test (CMT) and direct measurement of SCC using a portable deLaval cell coun...

In recent years, the growing interest in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has resulted in variety of peerreviewed publications. Significant results in this area have enabled many civilian and industry applications. As more and more vehicles are equipped with multiple network interfaces, how to efficient utilize the coexistence of Radio Access Technologies (RAT) such as WiFi, UMTS an...

Four subclinical mastitis diagnostic tests (the UdderCheck® test [a lactate dehydrogenasebased test], the California Mastitis Test [CMT], the Draminski® test [a conductivity-based test] and the PortaSCC® test [a portable somatic cell count-based test]) were compared in a study comprising crossbreed dairy cows (n = 30) during September and October 2015. Sensitivity and specificity of the CMT, Dr...

A total of 335 quarter milk samples from crossbred dairy cows were subjected to California mastitis (CMT), sodium lauryl sulphate (SLST), and somatic cell count (SCC) tests. CMT positive milk samples were 227, while 108 samples were CMT negative. Milk samples positive by SLST and SCC were 261 and 180 respectively. The CMT positive samples were subjected to cultural isolation (gold standard test...
