We expressed the Arabidopsis thaliana gene for phytochelatin synthase (PCS(At)) in Mesorhizobium huakuii subsp. rengei B3, a microsymbiont of Astragalus sinicus, a legume used as manure. The PCS(At) gene was expressed under the control of the nifH promoter, which regulates the nodule-specific expression of the nifH gene. The expression of the PCS(At) gene was demonstrated in free-living cells u...

the aim of this paper is to investigate the role of producer cooperatives (pcs) on rural development in fars, khorasan, semnan, golestan and hamadan provinces of iran in 2007. more specifically, this paper focuses on the economic aspects and social changes occurred in rural area concerning the cooperatives development. in order to measure quantitatively the effectiveness of economic and social ...

BACKGROUND Circulating progenitor cells (PCs) are considered to contribute to the remodeling of atherosclerotic plaques. Their surface receptor CXCR4 plays an important role in the recruitment of PCs to their target. This study compares the mobilization of PCs and their functional characteristics in asymptomatic subjects with stable and with unstable carotid plaques. This could provide insight ...

Games consoles are becoming more versatile with the addition of hardware such as hard discs, modems and USB ports. With all these additions, they are beginning to encroach on the home computer (PC) market. The boundaries between the two groups are becoming blurred, and in the case of the Playstation2 shipping with Linux, almost inseparable. In the future, will we be programming on our Playstati...

Current PC processors are equipped with vector processing units and have other advanced features that can be used to accelerate lattice QCD programs. Clusters of PCs with a high-bandwidth network thus become powerful and cost-effective machines for numerical simulations.
