The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor Ste12p is responsible for activating genes in response to MAP kinase cascades controlling mating and filamentous growth. Ste12p is negatively regulated by two inhibitor proteins, Dig1p (also called Rst1p) and Dig2p (also called Rst2p). The expression of a C-terminal Ste12p fragment (residues 216 to 688) [Ste12p(216-688)] from a GAL promote...

Bacillus subtilis and its sister species B. amyloliquefaciens comprise an evolutionary compact but physiologically versatile group of bacteria that includes strains isolated from diverse habitats. Many of these strains are used as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture and a plant-specialized subspecies of B. amyloliquefaciens-B. amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum, has recen...

Abstract In this paper, we give differential-linear cryptanalysis of SIMON, which is a family lightweight block ciphers published by the National Security Agency, and SIMECK, proposed Yang et al. Firstly, all input difference output masks with one active bit are traversed to obtain 9-round SIMON32/64 distinguisher 10-round SIMECK32/64 distinguisher. Then, 12-round bias 2 −12.69 13-round −14.03 ...

This study investigated the effect of postweld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions on Type IV failure behavior 10% Cr martensitic steel welds using Haynes 282 filler. The welded joints were subjected to PWHT at temperatures 688, 738, and 788 °C for 4 8 h. Creep tests carried out 600 under a stress 200 MPa. as-welded joint without showed cracking due growth voids around Laves phase by localized cre...

The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of anthrax by bacteriologic methods in cattle and sheep between January 2000 and September 2001 and to determine the distribution of this zoonotic disease in humans in Kars district, Turkey. Bacillus anthracis was isolated and identified in 34 out of 38 (91%) cattle and 11 out of 17 (64%) sheep samples obtained from organs suspected of anth...

Since 1971, 6$8 consecutive carotid endarterectojnies were performed in 612 patients in a commun.ity-based teaching hospital by 16 surgeons; 82% of the procedures were performed in patients who had suffered a transient ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax, or a previous stroke. Seven patients (1%) died, five of perioperative stroke and two of myocardial infarction. Thirty-one patients suffered a pe...
