Expression and subcellular localization of a novel gene Bm-X of the silkworm, Bombyx mori
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)According to the large-scale sequencing of cDNA library from silkworm pupae, the cDNA of a novel gene with blank research background was identified and temporarily named Bm-X. The length of this cDNA is 778 bp. We obtained ... -
How is the biological information arranged in genome?
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The four nucleotides (bases), A. T. G and C were sophisticatedly arranged in the structural features in a single-strand of genomic DNA, 1) reverse-complement symmetry of base or base sequences, 2) bias of four bases, 3) ... -
Identification of ebs1, lsm6 and nup159 as suppressors of spt10 effects at ADH2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggests post-transcriptional defects affect mRNA synthesis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)Suppression of the effects of an spt10 mutation on ADH2 expression is a phenotype shared by a small number of genes whose protein products are either components of the CCR4-NOT complex required for mRNA deadenylation and ... -
Knockdown of Dock7 in vivo specifically affects myelination by Schwann cells and increases myelin thickness in sciatic nerves without affecting axon thickness
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)During development of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), Schwann cells (SCs) wrap individual axons to form myelin sheaths, which act as surrounding insulators and markedly enhance the propagation of the action potential. ... -
Applying Surface-Based DNA Computing for Solving the Dominating Set Problem
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The surface-based DNA computing is one of the methods of DNA computing which uses DNA strands immobilized on a solid surface. In this paper, we applied surface-based DNA computing for solving the dominating set problem. ... -
The full length PtSRP (Pisolithus tinctorius symbiosis related protein) fungal mRNA encodes a potential marker of ectomycorrhiza formation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The Pisolithus tinctorius symbiosis related protein expressed sequence tag (EST PtSRP) was previously identified in the first hours of the interaction between the fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and sweet chestnut Castanea ... -
Energy-Efficient and Coverage-Aware Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)Energy efficiency and sensing coverage are essential metrics for enhancing the lifetime and the utilization of wireless sensor networks. Many protocols have been developed to address these issues, among which, clustering ... -
A Wideband Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna for 60 GHz Wireless Communications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)This paper presents the design of a fully packaged 60 GHz wideband patch antenna incorporating an air cavity and a fused silica superstrate. Circular polarization (CP) is realized by introducing a diagonal slot at the ... -
Controlled Synthesis and Characterization of Nobel Metal Nanoparticles
(Scientific Research, 2012-07)In this work, monodispersed, well-shaped platinum (3.2 - 6.4 nm), rhodium (2.4 - 5.1 nm), and palladium (3.2 - 5.3 nm) nanoparticles capped with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) were synthesized by a polyol reduction method ... -
Some New Results on Prime Graphs
(Scientific Research, 2012-07)We investigate prime labeling for some graphs resulted by identifying any two vertices of some graphs. We also introduce the concept of strongly prime graph and prove that the graphs Cn, Pn, and K1,n are strongly prime ... -
Suppression of Sup35 amyloid fibril formation by group II chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The Group II chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum was added to the in vitro amyloid fibrillation reaction of yeast Sup35NM protein to assess its effects. By measuring the formation of Sup35NM fibrils in real time using ... -
Release of exosomes and microvesicles harbouring specific RNAs and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins from rat and human adipocytes is controlled by histone methylation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The transfer of proteins and nucleic acids from donor to acceptor cells via small membrane vesicles has been implicated with (patho)physiological consequences. Previously the upregulation of esterification and downregulation ... -
Marek’s disease virus challenge induced immune-related gene expression and chicken repeat 1 (CR1) methylation alterations in chickens
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)Marek’s disease virus (MDV) challenge induces lymphoma in susceptible chickens. Host genes, especially immune related genes, are activated by the virus. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that governs gene ... -
Effects of bar-transgenic rice on the intestinal microflora of the mice (Mus musculus)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)Microbial molecular ecology approaches were used to the effects of Bar-transgenic rice on Intestinal Micro-flora of the Mice (Mus musculus). Kunming mice (Mus musculus) of 100 SPF-grade (20 g ± 2 g), half of which were ... -
An Analytical Model of the Power Law Distributions in the Complex Network
(2012-08)It is known that complex networks in nature exhibit some significant statistical features. We notice power law distributions which frequently emerge with respect to network structures of various quantities. One example ... -
Molecular Simulation of Ion Transport at the Water/Vapor Interface
(Scientific Research, 2012-08)Molecular dynamics was used to quantify the role of the size, charge and polarisability of F– , Cl– , Br– , I– and Na+ ions in their distribution in the water/vapour interface system. Our results show that the ... -
