We have observed the ultra-compact low–mass X–ray binary (LMXB) 1A 1246–588 with the Rossi X–ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). In this manuscript we report the discovery of a kilohertz quasi–periodic oscillation (QPO) in 1A 1246–588. The kilohertz QPO was only detected when the source was in a soft high–flux state reminiscent of the lower banana branch in atoll sources. Only one kilohertz QPO peak is...

Good quality medical research generally requires not only an expertise in the chosen medical field of interest but also a sound knowledge of statistical methodology. The number of medical research articles which have been published in Indian medical journals has increased quite substantially in the past decade. The aim of this study was to collate all evidence on study design quality and statis...

dietary consumption of fruit and vegetables results in lower risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. There is accumulating evidence that these effects of fruit and vegetables attribute to antioxidants nutrients such as carotenoids, vitamins, and phenolic phytochemicals. Recent studies have shown that antioxidant vitamins and carotenoids may have a protective effect against diabetes...

of the important pathogenic factors during the initial stage of the infection. Many candidate adhesion molecules on the yeast cells have been reported. The protein parts and the protein portrion of the mannoprotein of the yeast cells are more important than the carbohydrate moiety. On the other hand, several authors have shown that the cell-wall mannan parts and chitin are implicated to have so...

The Collaborative Research Center 588 "Humanoid Robots Learning and Cooperating Multimodal Robots" was established in July 2001 by the Germany Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft: DFG) and will run until June 2012. The goal of this interdisciplinary research project is the development of humanoid robots which resemble humans in their ways of acting in the world, of reasoning ab...

Yeast Prp28 is a DEAD-box pre-mRNA splicing factor implicated in displacing U1 snRNP from the 5' splice site. Here we report that the 588-aa Prp28 protein consists of a trypsin-sensitive 126-aa N-terminal segment (of which aa 1-89 are dispensable for Prp28 function in vivo) fused to a trypsin-resistant C-terminal catalytic domain. Purified recombinant Prp28 and Prp28-(127-588) have an intrinsic...
