The adenovirus replication origins reside in the inverted terminal
repetition (ITR) sequences. Replication proceeds unidirectionally by a
strand-displacement mechanism from either or both origins to produce
duplex daughter DNA plus a displaced parental strand. The displaced
strand can be duplicated by two different routes. The cis pathway involves
intramolecular hybridization...
This study investigated the attitudes toward Little
League Baseball of Little League Baseball players and
coaches in the States of Oregon and Washington and in
Taiwan, Republic of China. An instrument consisting of
the semantic differential assessment questionnaire
measuring attitudes toward Little League Baseball and a
supplemental questionnaire for a...
The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the efficiency and reliability of...
Measurements of social constructs that evaluate natural hazard preparedness are important to decrease natural hazard vulnerability. Preparedness reduces natural hazard impacts and human vulnerability. Investment in education and education research contribute to human sustainable development and natural hazard preparedness. Faced with other needs, people typically do not prepare enough to...
Adenovirus initiates strand-displacement DNA replication from
origins located in identical inverted terminal repetitions (ITRs).
Panhandle structures, formed by base-pairing between ITRs on the
displaced strands, have been proposed as replication intermediates for
complementary strand synthesis. Plasmid molecules containing a single
adenovirus terminal sequence and specially arranged inverted repeat
sequences were...
Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...
Several levels of eukaryotic chromatin structure have
been observed: the nucleosome, the 10 nm and 30 nm fibers
and loop domains, apparently attached to the nuclear
matrix. In this research, the structure and function of
chromatin at two of these levels was investigated, with
studies on both nucleosome positioning and...
