PURPOSE Amyloid fibrils are associated with a variety of human protein misfolding and protein deposition diseases. Previous studies have shown that bovine crystallins form amyloid fibers under denaturing conditions and amyloid fibers accumulate in the lens of mice carrying mutations in crystallin genes. Within differentiating lens fiber cells, crystallins may be exposed to low pH lysosome compa...

There are several reasons why this book might be of interest to a TEX user. First, LTEX has a prominent place in the book. Second, the book describes a very interesting offshoot of literate programming, a topic traditionally popular in the TEX community. Third, since a number of TEX users work with data analysis and statistics, R could be a useful tool for them. Since some TUGboat readers are l...

Mechanisms of coliphage transport and fate in the presence and absence of manure suspension were studied in saturated column experiments. In the presence of manure suspension, little inactivation of indigenous somatic coliphage occurred and the transport was controlled by deposition. The deposition followed a power law distribution with depth, and the magnitude increased with decreasing sand si...

Can FD&C Blue no. 1 dye photoinactivate bacteriophages phi X174, T7, PRD1, and phi 6 under laboratory lighting conditions? At high levels of light, the dye (500 microM) photoinactivated only phi 6. Thus, this dye can be used at concentrations up to 500 microM with bacteriophages phi X174, T7, and PRD1 to test barrier material integrity.

In order to study the mutagenic effects of site-specific, covalent modifications of biologically active DNA, we need host cells that are permissive for any type of mutation that might be produced in vivo from the modified DNA. Specifically, we require a general, in vivo complementation system for the bacteriophage phiX174 gene G, an essential gene that we have chosen for our initial studies of ...

The growth of one or more individuals in a forest is variable with the biotic and abiotic conditions environment. Therefore, objective this article was to obtain age estimates Araucaria angustifolia, different altitude gradients occurrence species, identify culmination points basal area. study covered three areas Forest Santa Catarina state, considering altitudes species. Non-destructive sample...

Çalışmanın amacı, mini trampolin antrenmanlarının maksimum oksijen tüketim kapasitesine etkisini araştırmaktır. İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu’ndaki antrenmanı yapan 18-24 yaş arası 12 erkek öğrenci (22±1,27 yaş, 68,85±8,24 kg, 174±6,07 cm) çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olmuştur. Katılımcıların boy kilo ölçümleri yapılıp, kapasitesi ölçümünün (30-15IFT) ardından 6...

BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness and mean arterial pressure variably contribute to systolic hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk. However, few prior community-based studies have evaluated the genetics of arterial stiffness and separate mean and pulsatile components of blood pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS Using arterial tonometry, we evaluated heritability and linkage of forward and refl...
