background: toxoplasmosis, a worldwide zoonotic disease, is caused by toxo­plasma gondii . the distribution of genetic diversity of t. gondii in wild animals is of great importance to understand the transmission of the parasite in the environ­ment. however, little is known about t. gondii prevalence in wild animals and birds in china. methods: we conducted the genetic characterization of t. gon...

Patients suffering from the genetic disorder xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) display an extreme sensitivity of their skin to sun (UV) exposure and predisposition to skin cancer due to deficiencies in the excision DNA repair pathway. Here we describe the establishment and characteriza tion of the first tumor cell line derived from an XP patient (belonging to complementation group C). The melanoma cel...

Some methods of the " unfolded dynamics " machinery particularly useful for the analysis of higher spin gauge theories are summarized. A formulation of 4d conformal higher spin theories in Sp(8) invariant space-time with matrix coordinates and its extension to Sp(2M) invariant space-times are discussed. A new result on the global characteriza-ton of causality of physical events in the Sp(2M) in...

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the most important berry crops worldwide. Its wild relative, woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) is also scientifically important, since recent development of molecular tools including genetic transformation methods, genetic maps and genome sequence is making it as one of the leading perennial model plants. Environmental regulation...

As reported in our separate papers,1・2)we obtained the strain SK2-52 by protoplast fUsion treatment between non-antibiotic-producing mutants of Streptomyces griseus and S.tenjimariensis and this produced a new antibiotic. In this communication the isolation characteriza一 tion and structural elucidation of the antibiotic, indolizomycin are reported. The strain SK2-52 was cultured at 27°Cfbr 37ho...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for characteriza‐ tion of materials. It can detect local structure around selected atomic nuclei and provide information on the dynamics of these nuclei. In case of metal-organic frameworks, NMR spectroscopy can help elucidate the framework structure, locate the molecules adsorbed into the pores, and inspect and characterize the i...

Fuzzy measures were introduced by M Sugeno in in order to express a grade of fuzziness in the same way that probability measures express a grade of random ness The Sugeno fuzzy integrals are the functionals with monotonicity de ned by using fuzzy measures Later on Murofushi and Sugeno proposed another type of fuzzy integral the Choquet integral based on the Capacity Theory developed by G Choque...

I study a model of dynamic risk sharing with costly state veri cation CSV In the model a risk neutral agent enters an in nitely repeated relationship with a risk averse agent In each period the risk averse agent receives a random income which is observed only by himself unless the risk neutral agent engages in costly monitoring I provide a set of characteriza tions for the optimal contract and ...
