In Turkey, only one species of Kyllinga L. (Cyperaceae) is known. This study looked at the morphology, palynology, and fruit morphology brevifolia. The are described depicted. Furthermore, provides information on species' regional ranges as well IUCN threat category for each species, which assigned LC. pollen grains subspheroidal in shape, with micro-echinate-perforated surface ornamentation. c...

Sir, Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) is a rare disorder characterized by acquired pigmented macules and papules in a reticulate pattern, particularly affecting the flexural areas and other major skin folds (1, 2). A female patient presented with dotted and reticulate pigmentation of the axilla, and was diagnosed as DDD both clinically and histopathologically. However, the asymmetrical distribution ...

Intracytoplasmic inclusions containing Chlamydia psittaci were isolated by a newly established method. Infected L-cells at 20 h after infection were suspended in 0.25 M sucrose-tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer containing ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid, homogenized in a Dounce tissue grinder, and filtered through a 2,000-mesh screen. Isolated inclusions were stabilized in 5% bovine serum...

Due to hybridization events in evolution, studying different genes of a set of species may yield two or more related but different phylogenetic trees for the set of species. In this case, we want to combine the trees into a reticulate network with the fewest hybridization events. In this article, we develop a software tool (named UltraNet) for several fundamental problems related to the constru...

Newey and Smith (2001) have recently shown that Empirical Likelihood (EL) exhibits desirable higher-order asymptotic properties, namely, that its O ¡ n−1 ¢ bias is particularly small and that biascorrected EL is higher-order efficient. Although EL possesses these properties when the model is correctly specified, this paper shows that the asymptotic variance of EL in the presence of model misspe...

A simple, sensitive enzyme linked fluorescence immunoassay has been developed to detect IgM antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis. Reticulate bodies and elementary bodies from C trachomatis L/434 Bu strain were isolated and used as antigens in the assay. Of 113 serum samples obtained from infants with pneumonia, 27 (23.9%) had IgM antibodies to C trachomatis L2 reticulate bodies and nine (8....
