Within the scope of Collaborative Research Centre SFB 639 "Textile-reinforced composite components for function-integrating multi-material design in complex lightweight applications", woven and flat-knitted spacer fabrics from commingled hybrid yarns are developed, pressed and the characteristics of the formed composite structures are tested. The developed spacer fabric structures have Ushaped ...

Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...

RNAi mechanism plays a major role in silencing the expression of target genes by siRNAs. In the current study, in silico properties of 30 genes in omega-2 gliadin and 266 nt and 326 nt mutations were investigated before and after cloning in an expression vector. Specific primers were designed for 30 genes with spacer regions of 75 nt and 178 nt (for gene invert repeats). The frequency of siRNA ...

Nuclear factor I (NFI) binds tightly to DNA containing the consensus sequence TGG(N)6-7GCCAA. To study the role of the spacing between the TGG and GCCAA motifs, oligonucleotides homologous to the NFI binding site FIB-2 were synthesized and used for binding assays in vitro. The wild-type site (FIB-2.6) has a 6bp spacer region and binds tightly to NFI. When the size of this spacer was altered by ...

The intergenic spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes of Mycoplasma haemomuris, previously classified as 'Haemobartonella muris', was amplified by PCR and sequenced for analysis of the primary and secondary structures of the RNA transcript. The spacer region consisted of 219 base-pairs and lacked the spacer tRNA gene. A hypothetical secondary structure predicted in the RNA transcript ...

BACKGROUND Aerosols generated from metered dose inhalers may be highly charged. The aim of this study was to determine whether lining the walls of a polycarbonate spacer device with an antistatic agent would result in an increase in drug output. The effects of multiple actuations of drug into the spacer device and increasing residence time of drug within the spacer were also determined. METHO...

PURPOSE Hydrogel prostate-rectum spacers, biomaterials placed between the prostate and rectum, continue to gain interest as a method to reduce or limit rectal dose during dose escalated prostate cancer radiation therapy. Because the spacer is initially injected into the perirectal space as a liquid, the final distribution can vary. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hydrogel spacer (Spac...

Abstract In view of the low efficiency staff who need to detect insulator, grading ring, spacer and other components with their naked eyes when inspecting transmission line manually, a CBAM Efficient YOLOv5 algorithm is proposed realize automatic detection above components. The improves lightweight YOLOv5, uses EfficientNet network replace original feature extraction network, (Convolutional Blo...

a series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofp-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. it was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. yeast cells stained with procion red he-3b formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...

CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a microbial immune system against foreign DNA. Recognition sequences (spacers) encoded within the CRISPR array mediate the immune reaction in a sequence-specific manner. The known mechanisms for the evolution of CRISPR arrays include spacer acquisition from foreign DNA elements at the time of invasion and array erosion throug...
