We present new Nusselt-number (Nu) measurements for slowly rotating turbulent thermal convection in cylindrical samples with aspect ratio Γ=1.00 and provide a comprehensive correlation of all available data for that Γ. In the experiment compressed gasses (nitrogen and sulfur hexafluride) as well as the fluorocarbon C_{6}F_{14} (3M Fluorinert FC72) and isopropanol were used as the convecting flu...

OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of stunting and overweight in children and identify demographic, socio-economic and maternal characteristics, as well as biochemical indicators, associated with these outcomes. DESIGN A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed. Data from structured questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and blood and stool samples were used in Poisson reg...

The progesterone receptor (PR) contains two transcription activation function (AF) domains, constitutive AF-1 in the N terminus and AF-2 in the C terminus. AF-2 activity is mediated by a hormone-dependent interaction with a family of steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs). SRC-1 can also stimulate AF-1 activity through a secondary domain that interacts simultaneously with the primary AF-2 interac...

The transcript levels of six defense genes including pathogenesis-related gene 1 (PR-1), pathogenesis-related gene 2 (PR-2), pathogenesis-related gene 5 (PR-5), lipoxygenase (LOX), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and catalase (CAT) were investigated in tomato plants inoculated with Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli as a non-host pathogen and X. euvesicatoria as a host pathogen. Activation o...

A Proofs of the theorems We first state a few helper lemmas. Lemma 1. Suppose the graph G is an (l, r)-regular graph, i.e. worker degree is l and task degree is r. Then, for each (w i , t j) 2 G, the following is true Pr(w i (t j) = 1) = 1 + (2 1)µ 2 , Pr(w i (t j) = 1) = 1 (2 1)µ 2 , and E[d + j ] = r 1 + (2 1)µ 2 , E[d j ] = r 1 (2 1)µ 2 where the probability and expectation are taken over th...

Infection of Samsun NN tobacco with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was found to induce the synthesis of mRNA encoding a basic protein with a 67% amino acid sequence homology to the known acidic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins 1a, 1b and 1c. By Southern blot hybridization it was shown that the tobacco genome contains at least eight genes for acidic PR-1 proteins and a similar number of genes enco...

(a) In this question you are asked to show that randomness extraction is possible only from sources that are statistically close to sources with high min-entropy; thus, high minentropy is both sufficient and necessary for randomness extraction. More formally, let X be any distribution over {0, 1}n and let Ext : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}d → {0, 1}m. Suppose that Ext(X,Ud) is ǫ-close to the uniform distri...

Early specification of endomesodermal territories in the sea urchin embryo depends on a moving torus of regulatory gene expression. We show how this dynamic patterning function is encoded in a gene regulatory network (GRN) subcircuit that includes the otx, wnt8, and blimp1 genes, the cis-regulatory control systems of which have all been experimentally defined. A cis-regulatory reconstruction ex...
