DNA melting has attracted much attention due to its importance in understanding the life-reproduction and metabolism and in the applications of modern DNA-based technologies. While numerous works have been contributed to the determination of melting profiles in diverse environments, the understanding of DNA melting dynamics is still limited. By employing three-site-per-nucleotide (3SPN) double-...

We discuss how the presence of gauge subsystems in the Bacon-Shor code [D. Bacon, Phys. Rev. A 73, 012340 (2006)10.1103/PhysRevA.73.012340 (2006)] leads to remarkably simple and efficient methods for fault-tolerant error correction (FTEC). Most notably, FTEC does not require entangled ancillary states, and it can be implemented with nearest-neighbor two-qubit measurements. By using these method...

This document defines an extension block that may be used with the Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Bundle Protocol. This Metadata Extension Block is designed to carry additional information that DTN nodes can use to make processing decisions regarding bundles, such as deciding whether to store a bundle or determining to which nodes to forward a bundle. The metadata that is carried in a metadata...

Phytohormones such as auxin are known to be involved in alleviating the detrimental effects of salinity by modulating the activity of enzymatic antioxidants and improving antioxidant system, which help in sustaining plant growth. The present study envisaged revealing the role of exogenous application of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in improving defense mechanisms in two genotypes (FL485 and IR29,...

salinity is a major environmental problem in arid and semi-arid areas. chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), like other legumes is sensitive to salinity. therefore, selection of genotypes to grow on saline areas is important. eleven chickpea genotypes (as sub plots) were grown in the greenhouse conditions on a medium containing different nacl concentrations (8 and 12 dsm-1) and control (hoagland solut...

The reaction of TCNE and TCNQ zwitterionic benzoquinonemonoimine derivatives under basic conditions resulted in HCN elimination to give a tricyanoethenyl derivative - which forms a π-complex with Pd(0)--or a stable malodinitrile salt, respectively. In the latter case, chemoselective C-alkylation was observed whereas oxidation led to dimerization by C-C coupling.

Method 2. (Modification of Napier, 1922.) Here instead of four drops of blood being taken directly from the patient's finger at the time of the test, as done by Napier, an equal quantity of previously collected blood was put into a small test tube containing c. c. of citrated saline (Formula : sod. cit. 0.5 grm., sod. chlor. 0.9 grm., and water 100 c. c.). After adding a drop of formalin, it wa...
