Human societies depend on services provided by ecosystems, from local needs such as clean water and pest control to global services like the ozone layer and the ocean biological pump.Ecosystem services are linked to the states of the ecosystem, which are, in turn, governed by a web of ecological interactions.These interactions, along with the servi
Expression of apolipoprotein[a] and plasminogen mRNAs in cynomolgus monkey liver and extrahepatic tissues
The apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) and plasminogen (PLG) genes share a high degree of sequence identity, suggesting that both genes may be coordinately expressed.To address this possibility, hepatic apo[a], PLG, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) wahl kmx mRNAs in 11 cynomolgus monkeys that express plasma Lp[a] over a 10-fold range (5
Rapid detection of ERG11 polymorphism associated azole resistance in Candida tropicalis.
Increasing reports of azole resistance in Candida tropicalis, highlight the development of rapid resistance detection techniques.Nonsynonymous mutations in the lanosterol C14 alpha-demethylase (ERG11) gene is one of the predominant mechanisms of azole resistance in C.tropicalis.We evaluated the tetra primer-amplification refractory mutation system-
Mass Distribution and Gravitational Potential of the Milky Way
Models of mass distribution in the Milky Way are discussed where those yielding the potential analytically are preferred.It is noted that there are three main contributors to the Milky Way potential: bulge, disc and dark halo.In the case of the disc the Miyamoto-Nagai formula, as simple enough, has shown as a very good solution, but it has not been
