Chromatin endowed by histone modifications governs chromatin structure, which in turn represents a means to regulate cellular processes, including transcription and heterochromatin formation. Recent evidence revealed a plethora of enzymes that catalyze specific histone modifications for epigenetic maintenance, and dysregulation of which contributes to tumorigenesis and developmental defects. Th...

We have performed VLT spectroscopy of an almost complete sample of 18 early–type galaxies with 0.88 ≤ z ≤ 1.3 plus two at z = 0.67, selected from the K20 survey, and derived the velocity dispersion for 15+2 of them. By combining these data with HST and VLT images, we study the Fundamental Plane (FP), the Faber–Jackson and the Kormendy relations at z∼1, and compare them with the local ones. The ...

Mammalian G9a is a histone H3 Lys-9 (H3-K9) methyltransferase localized in euchromatin and acts as a co-regulator for specific transcription factors. G9a is required for proper development in mammals as g9a-/g9a- mice show growth retardation and early lethality. Here we describe the cloning, the biochemical and genetical analyses of the Drosophila homolog dG9a. We show that dG9a shares the stru...

Regulation, Trust, and Cronyism in Middle Eastern Societies: The Simple Economics of ‘Wasta’ Despite being a fixture of everyday life in the Arab world, wasta, which may be thought of as special influence by members of the same group or tribe, has received little attention from social scientists. Our casual empiricism suggests that wasta is an important determinant of how economic activities ar...

The purpose of this paper is the following: firstly, to chart how much economic reform of CEE electricity industries has taken place to date; secondly, to discuss why progress has been so limited; and, thirdly, to consider the prospects over the next few years. In charting the economic progress to date, we will consider and discuss progress in electricity price unbundling and rebalancing; in ut...

Fundamental properties of the extinction curve, like the slope in the rest-frame UV and the presence/absence of a broad absorption excess centred at 2175 Å (the UV bump), are investigated for a sample of 108 massive, starforming galaxies at 1 < z < 2.5, selected from the FDF Spectroscopic Survey, the K20 survey, and the GDDS. These characteristics are constrained from a parametric description o...

We investigate the impact of the 1990 Nutrition Labeling and Education Act on attitudes and behaviors, using newly available survey data from several thousand consumers. Consistent with prior literature, we find that the introduction of the standardized labels only modestly affected purchasing behavior. However, we find that the limited success of the policy is not attributable to inattention t...

This paper presents comparative study on one of the popular cryptographic algorithms AES algorithm, implemented using CUDA on GPU and on CPU. In present day scenario the AES algorithm suffers from very high CPU resource consumption, latency and low throughput. The AES cipher calculation is performed in blocks, with each block of size 128 bits. For a given plaintext, repetitions of transformatio...

The lipopolysaccharide and porin profile of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, a smooth strain commonly used in antibiotic susceptibility testing, and five isogenic rough mutants was examined. The lipopolysaccharide of the parent strain had the characteristic ladder pattern on polyacrylamide gels, while that of the mutants appeared similar to chemotypes Ra and Rc of Salmonella typhimurium with some c...
