The inheritance of responsiveness to histamine-sensitizing factor of pertussis bacilli was examined in (SWR/J x CBA/J)F(1) x CBA/J backcross mice. We found that about half of the backcross mice inherited this responsiveness in both sexes. There was no linkage between the inheritance of responsiveness to histamine-sensitizing factor and the H-2(q) locus from the sensitive SW/J progenitor.

Land use changes can significantly influence the water balance, and thus especially development of flood-triggering runoff peaks. Hence, it is advisable to assess possible already at level municipal planning. Since many different actors are usually involved in spatial planning, useful provide a shared platform where stakeholders access same information analyze evaluate flood hazards. Therefore,...

The warming climate is rapidly changing the circumpolar region, presenting new opportunities and challenges for agricultural production in South Greenland. projected to increase frequency of drought periods, but little known about soil–water retention (SWR) plant available water (PAW) soils region. This study aimed measure SWR PAW Greenlandic evaluate effect organic carbon (OC) clay (CL) conten...

Watanabe et al (Reports, 12 April 2013, p. 195) study the yeast SWR1/SWR-C complex responsible for depositing the histone variant H2A.Z by replacing nucleosomal H2A with H2A.Z. They report that reversal of H2A.Z replacement is mediated by SWR1 and related INO80 on an H2A.Z nucleosome carrying H3K56Q. Using multiple assays and reaction conditions, we find no evidence of such reversal of H2A.Z ex...
