The antigen (phenotype), gene (allele) and haplotype frequencies of HLA class I were analysed in 4,622 Koreans. With allele frequencies of over 0.05, the most frequent HLA-A,-B and -C antigens were A2, A24, A33, A11, A26, A31; B62, B51, B44, B54, B61, B35, B58, B60; Cw3, Cw1, Cw4, Cw7. Of these A2, A24, Cw1 and Cw3 were present in very high frequencies, respectively (0.3211, 0.2200, 0.2204, and...

In this study, 15 Lactobacillus isolates were found to produce biosurfactants in the mid-exponential and stationary growth phases. The stationary-phase biosurfactants from lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus 36 and ATCC 7469, Lactobacillus fermentum B54, and Lactobacillus acidophilus RC14 were investigated further to determine their capacity to inhibit the initial adhesion of uropathogenic Ent...

OBJECTIVE To describe benign recurrent encephalitis in a case of Sweet syndrome that also showed clinical features of Behçet disease. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old Japanese man developed relapsing and remitting encephalitis and mucocutaneous symptoms mimicking Behçet disease. Magnetic resonance images showed at least 5 episodes of transient abnormal signal intensity in various cerebral regions ov...

The paper analyzes the gender pay gap in private-sector management positions based on German panel data and using fixed-effects models. It deals with the effect of occupational sex segregation on wages, and the extent to which wage penalties for managers in predominantly female occupations are moderated by firm size. Drawing on economic and organizational approaches and the devaluation of women...

The asymmetric unit in the title compound, C(5)H(5)NO, comprises two independent but virtually identical mol-ecules of 2-pyridone, and represents a monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported ortho-rhom-bic (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) form [Penfold (1953 ▶). Acta Cryst.6, 591-600; Ohms et al. (1984 ▶). Z. Kristallogr.169, 185-200; Yang & Craven (1998 ▶). Acta Cryst. B54, 912-920]. The independent mol-e...

From a genomic library of Brassica campestris (brown sarson cv. B54), we have cloned and sequenced about 2 kb of upstream regulatory region from one of the 2S albumin-coding gene family. The sequence has several seed-specific promoter motifs. A sequence alignment of the 5' flanking regions of the available Brassica 2S storage protein genes showed that our sequence is a double crossover recombin...

This article aims to round out the well-established criticism in feminist research whereby measuring income poverty at household level tends underestimate among women. It demonstrates that while this indicator is underpinned by a conceptual bias could be qualified as sexist, not only because of measurement level, but rather manner which measured and it independent item individual factored into ...

Let u e Hs(M, 4r). If 6* u = 0, then u E a* H8(M, 'r-1); that is, there is a covering c1 and a po e Z8( ) (V), (%) * Up = u, such that jo = aw, c e Zs('u, Ur-1). Let T, e r(Fr-1' 8, M) be the image of w in the process describing (2.3). Then a. = 6)Tr is the image of bw in the same process. If M is compact Kdhler, we conclude that o = b54, e Cs-1(clt, Or) (cf. ref. 4). The above remarks are mere...
