Although alternative splicing has been shown to give rise to isoforms of a number of transcription factors, such isoforms have not previously been detected for the POU homeodomain protein Pit-1. Screening of a rat pituitary GH3 cell cDNA expression library yielded a clone, termed pCMVPit-1a, encoding a 35.8 kD protein (Pit-1a) containing a 26 amino acid insert in the Pit-1 trans-activation doma...

The mining planning and design were carried out in PT. Tanjung Alam Jaya, a coal company South Kalimantan. intends to re-mine the Pit X area requires comprehensive mine approach achieve its objectives. study focuses on long-term planning, specifically optimizing pit while considering company's specified stripping ratio limit calculating potential reserve volumes. research aims develop an optimi...

A prominent principle in explaining a range of word-order regularities is dependency locality, which minimizes the linear distances (dependency lengths) between head and its dependents. However, it remains unclear to what extent language users fact observe locality when producing sentences under diverse conditions cross-categorical harmony (such as placement verbal nominal heads on same vs. dif...

Recent studies have suggested that species-specific pit properties such as pit membrane thickness, pit membrane porosity, torus-to-aperture diameter ratio and pit chamber depth influence xylem vulnerability to cavitation. Despite the indisputable importance of using mean pit characteristics, considerable variability in pit structure within a single species or even within a single pit field shou...

Neolithic and Bronze Age topsoil relicts revealed enhanced extractable phosphorus (P) and plant available inorganic P fractions, thus raising the question whether there was targeted soil amelioration in prehistoric times. This study aimed (i) at assessing the overall nutrient status and the soil organic matter content of these arable topsoil relicts, and (ii) at tracing ancient soil fertilizing...

Pavlovian conditioned stimuli can influence instrumental responding, an effect called Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT). During the last decade, PIT has been subdivided into two types: specific PIT and general PIT, each having its own neural substrates. Specific PIT happens when a conditioned stimulus (CS) associated with a reward enhances an instrumental response directed to the same rewar...

A Modern Energy Management System (EMS) provides sophisticated online security analysis applications to assist operators in ensuring that the power system can survive credible contingencies. Still in current practice, system operators generally refer to written operating procedures to establish system constraints, particularly in regards to transfer limits across major interties. The limits are...
