Targeted knock-down is the method of choice to advance the study of sensory and brain functions in the honeybee by using molecular techniques. Here we report the results of a first attempt to interfere with the function of a visual receptor, the long-wavelength-sensitive (L-) photoreceptor. RNA interference to inhibit this receptor led to a reduction of the respective mRNA and protein. The inte...

This paper explores six different representations of the BlocksWorld Domain. It compares the results of seven planners run on these representations. It shows that the rankings for the International Planning Competition, using the non-satisficing scoring function, would change for every representation.

We have examined the convergence behavior of the LSCMA in some simple environments. Algorithms such as Multi¬ Target CMA, Multistage CMA, and Iterative Least Squares with Projection can be used for this purpose. The results presented here can form a basis for analysis of these multi-signal extraction techniques. Clearly, the variance and distribution of output SINR obtained with the LSCMA is al...

The 50-30 exoribonucleases have important functions in RNA processing, RNA degradation, RNA interference, transcription, and other cellular processes. The Xrn1 and Xrn2/Rat1 family of enzymes are the best characterized 50-30 exoribonucleases, and there has been significant recent progress in the understanding of their structure and function. Especially, the first structural information on Rat1 ...
