BACKGROUND Significant blood loss continues to plague early tangential excision of the burn wound. Although various techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss have been described, there is an absence of uniformity and consistency in their application. Furthermore, it is unclear whether these techniques compromise intraoperative tissue assessment and wound outcome. The purpose of this study ...

After the appearance of no-cloning theorem, approximate quantum cloning machines (QCMs) has become a well-studied subject in information theory. Among several measures to quantify performance QCM, single-qudit fidelity and global have been most widely used. In this paper we compute optimal for phase-covariant via semidefinite programming optimization, thereby completing remaining gap previous r...

Abstract Generation of new DNA constructs is an essential process in modern life science and biotechnology. Modular cloning systems based on Golden Gate cloning, using Type IIS restriction endonucleases, allow assembly complex multipart from reusable basic parts a rapid, reliable automation-friendly way. Many such toolkits are available, with varying degrees compatibility, most which aimed at s...

objective: leishmaniasis is caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus leishmania which in the infected host is obligate intracellular parasite. lack gene is conserved among related leishmania species. lack is the immuno-dominant antigen of l.major which is considered as the most promising molecule for a recombinant or dna vaccine against leishmaniasis. materials and methods: in this study the ...

background: with respect to the prevalence of leishmaniosis in our country and the problems occurred in the therapeutic approaches and also with respect to the previous successful reports of paromomycin efficacy in this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of paromomycin and gentamicine sulphate on promastigotes of leishmania major.materials and methods: it was an ex...

Calcium-binding photoproteins have been discovered in a variety of luminous marine organisms [1]. Recent interest in photoproteins from the phylum Ctenophora has stemmed from cloning and expression of several photoproteins from this group [2-5]. Additional characterization has revealed unique biochemical properties found only in ctenophore photoproteins, such as inactivation by light. Here we r...

Asexual reproduction by cloning may affect the genetic structure of populations, their potential to evolve, and, among foundation species, contributions to ecosystem functions. Macroalgae of the genus Fucus are known to produce attached plants only by sexual recruitment. Recently, however, clones of attached plants recruited by asexual reproduction were observed in a few populations of Fucus ra...

COUP-TFs (Chicken Ovalbumin Upstream Promoter Transcription Factors) have been proposed to be negative regulators of retinoid receptor-mediated transcriptional activation. In a previous paper we reported the cloning of a Xenopus (x) COUP-TF (Matharu, P.J. and Sweeney, G.E. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1129, 331-334). Here we describe the cloning of a second xCOUP-TF. Amino acid sequence compar...

The genetic analysis of dorsoventral patterning in Drosophila has identified a zinc-finger gene, snail, that is required for mesoderm formation. The cloning and nuclease protection analysis of a Xenopus homologue of this gene has suggested a possible role in the mesoderm of vertebrates. Here, we describe the cloning of a murine homologue of snail, Sna, and in situ hybridisation studies of its d...
