Mobile communication provides access to the outside world without borders everywhere and at any time. The learning method that related to mobile communication technology is known as mobile learning (M-learning). It is a method that communicates learning materials with mobile device technology. The purpose of this method is to increase the interest in learning among students and assist them in o...

Polyadenylation of premessenger RNAs occurs posttranscriptionally in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells by cleavage of the precursor and polymerization of adenosine residues. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mature poly(A) tail ranges from 60 to 70 nucleotides. 3'-end processing can be reproduced in vitro with purified factors. The cleavage reaction requires cleavage factors I and II (CF...

In this study, acicular nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) was used to make a new biomimetic composite with polyamide (poly hexamethylene adipamide) by a unique technique. The physical and chemical characteristics of the composites were tested. It was found that these synthesized n-HA crystals were similar to bone apatite in size, phase composition and crystal structure. The biomimetic n-HA crystals we...

1. Polyinosinic acid (poly(1)) is capable of releasing the DNA template restrictions of rat liver nuclei or soluble chromatin when assayed with Escherichia coli DNA polymerase. In contrast, polycytidylic acid (poly(C)) is completely ineffective. 2. The ability of poly(1) to release the DNA template restrictions is dependent on the size of the poly(1). Poly(1) with sedimentation values from 4.1 ...

We investigate the current-voltage relationship and the temperature-dependent conductance of nano-scale samples of poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA molecules. A polaron hopping model has been used to calculate the I-V characteristic of nano-scale samples of DNA. This model agrees with the data for current versus voltage at temperatures greater than 100 K. The quantities G(0), i(0), and T(1d) are determine...

Male Wistar rats, (2 months old) were randomly divided into two groups according to the diet offered (C-control and E-ethanol treated rats). Final body weight was significantly increased but pancreatic weight as a percentage of body weight was decreased in ethanol treated rats. Volume density, number of pancreatic poly peptide (PP)-cells per islet and per micron 2 of islet were significantly in...

Functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) are usually used to enhance cellular penetration for targeted drug delivery that can improve efficacy and reduce side effects. However, it is difficult to exploit intracellular targets for similar delivery applications. Herein we describe the targeted delivery of functionalized NPs by homing in on an intracellular target, histone deacetylases (HDACs). Specific...
