Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), commonly referred to as cloning, results in the generation of offspring that, except for mitochondrial DNA, are genetically identical to the nuclear donor. We previously used a genetically modified bovine cell line as the donor for SCNT and obtained a calf, named Daisy, that was born without a tail. To determine whether the missing tail was a result of the ...

A novel approach is proposed for the modeling of rigid-wheel and soft-soil interaction to efficiently compute normal and shear stress distributions in the contact area. The authors propose a velocity field in the vicinity of the contact area based on the physical nature of the problem. Thereupon, the incremental changes to the stress field are computed by resorting to elastoplasticity theory an...

weed pollen grains belonging to  the  asteraceae  family contain  a variety of  allergens inducing type i  and iv allergies in susceptible people. the  aim of this research was to compare  the  allergenic properties  of  immature  and  mature  shasta  daisy pollen  grains (chrysanthemum maximum ramond) to define the potential role of the maturation process on the allergenicity of asteraceae pol...

Studies on cut flowers have occurred, for improving their quality is the main priority. One of top 10 in world, gerbera, or Transvaal daisy (Gerbera jamesonii Hook), a flowering plant. The presented study aimed to investigate effect genotypes, storage duration, and interactions flower – daisy. Two cultivars Gerbera (sweet smile sweet surprise) four durations underwent examination various parame...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated predictors of progression to diabetes in children with high-risk HLA genotypes and persistent islet autoantibodies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) followed 2,542 children with autoantibodies measured to GAD, IA-2, and insulin. RESULTS Persistent islet autoantibodies developed in 169 subjects, and 55 of those progressed...

We describe a VLIW architecture designed speci cally as a target for dynamic compilation of an existing instruction set architecture. This design approach o ers the simplicity and high performance of statically scheduled architectures, achieves compatibility with an established architecture, and makes use of dynamic adaptation. Thus, the original architecture is implemented using dynamic compil...
