Fourteen morphologically putative populations of X. krugi were clearly separated into four different profiles by RFLP analysis (Alu I and Hinf I), sequencing of the ITS-1 region, and subsequent Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic analyses. These four profiles were further supported by a principal component analysis of morphometric characters that yielded four taxonomic clusters matching those produ...

It is well known that large Hubble-induced supergravity corrections to the inflaton field can ruin the flatness of the potential, thus creating a tension between slow-roll inflation and supergravity. In this paper we show that it is possible to obtain a cosmologically flat direction, embedded within the minimal supersymmetric standard model, despite very large super-Hubble corrections. As an il...

INTRODUCTION Generating optimal control algorithms for an artificial pancreas is an intensively researched problem. The available models are all nonlinear and rather complex. Model predictive control or run-to-run-based methodologies have proven to be efficient solutions for individualized treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, the controller has to ensure safety and stability u...

Murine CDP/Cux, a homologue of the Drosophila Cut homeoprotein, modulates the promoter activity of cell cycle-related and cell-type-specific genes. CDP/Cux interacts with histone gene promoters as the DNA binding subunit of a large nuclear complex (HiNF-D). CDP/Cux is a ubiquitous protein containing four conserved DNA binding domains: three Cut repeats and a homeodomain. In this study, we analy...

Amongst the various species of Aspergillus section Nigri; Aspergillus luchuensis, associated with food and beverage fermentation in East Asia, is evaluated by multiple researchers as nonochratoxigenic based on the extrolite analysis. Beyond extrolite analysis, in the present study, A. luchuensis strain was analyzed by a rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (P...
