We examine the feasibility of a parity nonconserving (PNC) optical rotation experiment for the P3/2 → P1/2 transition of atomic iodine at 1315 nm. The calculated E1PNC to M1 amplitude ratio is R = 0.80(16) × 10−8. We show that very large PNC rotations (greater than 10 μrad) are obtained for iodine-atom column densities of ∼1022 cm−2, which can be produced by increasing the effective interaction...

The objective of this study was to evaluate DNA repair capacity of cancer patients with the bleomycin (BLM) challenge test and the UVC challenge test. The human peripheral lymphocytes were collected from 33 patients with different kinds of cancers and 33 controls in the same hospital. The lymphocytes of each subject were divided into two groups: (1) In the BLM challenge test, the lymphocytes we...

Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) as endemic migratory fish, possessing great ecological economic and biodiversity value. Among the habitat drivers, temperature related effects on the genome were considered in this research. During the embryonic developmental stages, genomic alterations of single cells were assessed by Comet assay. After artificial propagation of wild broodstoc...

The tank goby Glossogobius giuris is a commercially important dominant fish species in the Rabnabad Channel southern Bangladesh. However, information on population parameters of this not available to support its sustainable management. Therefore, present study was undertaken estimate understand both current status and yield, suggest management measures for species, using monthly samples collect...

The beginning of the Lycian text TL 45 is restored with usual topicalization direct object, but verb not appearing until line 3. content sentence does corre-spond to first Greek version. In this version, title and names archonts Hieron Apollodotos, known from contemporary trilingual Letöon inscrip-tion (N 320), are in lines 6-7. 11-12 a version theonym Trbbãmara may be restored. 45B revised and...

One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

TL(-) mice make TL antibody when immunized with spleen or bone marrow cells from TL(+) donors, despite the fact that these cells do not express TL antigen. This has been shown to depend on maturation of TL(-) precursors, contained in the inoculum, into TL(+) cells under influence of the recipient's thymus; the differentiated TL(+) cells then evoke production of TL antibody.

We have previously reported that Cryptococcus neoformans strains are innately heteroresistant to fluconazole in vitro, producing minor, highly resistant subpopulations due to adaptive formation of disomic chromosomes. Using a mouse model, we assessed the emergence of heteroresistant clones in the brain during fluconazole treatment and found that the occurrence of heteroresistant clones in vivo ...
