Mobile robots have been an essential element of space exploration to perform science on distant lunar and planetary objects. Past orbiter missions to Moon have shown evidence on the presence of ice inside the permanently shadowed polar areas. Similarly, Mars holds clues of life in the distant past. While data sent by orbiters provides a wealth of information and gives rise to new speculations a...

Logical mobility ranges from simple data mobility, where information is transferred, through code mobility that allows the migration of executable code, to mobile agents, in which code and data move together. Several application domains need a more exible approach to code mobility than the one that can be achieved with Java and with mobile agents in general. This exibility can either be require...

Identifying factors influencing transposable element activity is essential for understanding how these elements impact genomes and their evolution as well as for fully exploiting them as functional genomics tools and gene-therapy vectors. Using a genetics-based approach, the influence of genomic position on piggyBac mobility in Drosophila melanogaster was assessed while controlling for element ...

Autonomous mobility of different copies of the Fot1 element was determined for several strains of the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum to develop a transposon tagging system. Two Fot1 copies inserted into the third intron of the nitrate reductase structural gene (niaD) were separately introduced into two genetic backgrounds devoid of endogenous Fot1 elements. Mobility of these copies wa...

The gadd45 gene, a growth arrest and DNA damage (gadd)-induced gene, is transcriptionally activated by UV irradiation through two distinct pathways. One requires the sequence-specific binding of the p53 tumor suppressor protein to a responsive element within the third intron of the gadd45 gene, and the other is p53-independent activation of the gadd45 promoter region, although the UV-response e...

Complex microstructures of zircon recrystallisation have been discovered in igneous and metamorphic zircons from the Jack Hills Metasedimentary Belt Western Australia, granitic injection complex Harris north-west Scotland. Cathodoluminescence (CL), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) analysis reveal that studied is often characterised by (1) translat...

Nowadays in Europe, there is a noticeable increase the popularity of power two-wheelers (PTW). This largely due to urban transport problems. The aim study was present changes mobility terms use two-wheelers. In relation this process, activities local authorities and organisations related PTW traffic were also presented adapt city infrastructure two-track vehicles selected European countries. us...
