Escherichia coli 16S-like ribosomal RNAs from
eubacterial, archaebacterial and eukaryotic organisms have
several universally conserved sequence zones which are
proposed to be single-stranded. A clear function for all
of these regions has not yet been defined. To evaluate the
roles of these sequence zones in protein synthesis,
knowledge of their...
Crosses between four near isogenic lines for height reducing genes
Rht₁ and Rht₂ and one agronomically superior dwarf line, including
generations through F₃ with reciprocal backcrosses constituted the
experimental materials. Mean, range and standard deviation values for
eleven traits pertaining to the different generations were obtained.
Heterosis and inbreeding depression...
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anions consisting of three or more early transition metals ™ (Gr V and VI) oxoanions (in their highest oxidation state) linked together by a shared oxygen bond to form a 3D framework. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal oxo clusters with a wide range...
Clean technologies can address multiple challenges associated with climate change, environmental protection, and human health. However, the impact desired by introduction of such technologies is achievable only if new options effectively replace inefficient, conventional practices. This ‘design for adoption’ requires understanding of user motivations, associated beliefs, context of use, and...
Traffic signal countdown timers (TSCT) are innovative, practical and cost effective technologies with the potential to improve efficiency and safety at signalized intersections. The purpose of these devices is to assist motorists in decision making at signalized intersections with real time signal change information. While successful implementation of these devices...
BackgroundEpidemiological evidence suggests that arsenic (As) exposure during pregnancy may reduce infant birth weight. One significant source of As exposure is diet; thus, As may indirectly affect infant growth by mediating the effect of maternal diet on birth weight (BW). This study evaluated the potential mediating effect of As in...
One of the major sectors of Bangladesh agriculture is represented by the fisheries sector. Being a deltaic land
with numerous rivers and inland haors and beels (lakes and lowland areas of considerable size), and also ponds
that are dug in populated areas for the purpose of bathing, washing and often...
Soils in household environments in low- and middle-income countries may play an important role in the persistence, proliferation, and transmission of Escherichia coli. Our goal was to investigate the risk factors for detection, survival, and growth of E. coli in soils collected from household plots. E. coli was enumerated in...
Considering the negative impacts of climate change along with the rapid increase in population in Islamic dominated states, e.g., the Middle East, water tension among upstream and downstream states is increasing. Despite the importance of water in Islamic culture and studies, the role of religion has been under-valued and under-emphasized...
