Identification and characterization of plastid-type proteins from sequence-attributed features using machine learning
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-09)Background: Plastids are an important component of plant cells, being the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds used by the cell, and contain pigments such as those used in photosynthesis, starch ... -
Identification and relatedness of coronatine-producing Pseudomonas syringae pathovars by PCR analysis and sequence determination of the amplification products
(American Society for Microbiology, 1994-08)Production of the chlorosis-inducing phytotoxin coronatine in the Pseudomonas syringae pathovars atropurpurea, glycinea, maculicola, morsprunorum, and tomato has been previously reported. DNA hybridization studies previously ... -
Identification of Campylobacter jejuni genes contributing to acid adaptation by transcriptional profiling and genome-wide mutagenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-03)In order to cause disease, the food- and waterborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni must face the extreme acidity of the host stomach as well as cope with pH fluctuations in the intestine. In the present study, C. jejuni ... -
Identification of Campylobacter jejuni genes involved in the response to acidic pH and stomach transit
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-03)Campylobacter jejuni causes food- and waterborne gastroenteritis, and as such it must survive passage through the stomach in order to reach the gastrointestinal tract. While little is known about how C. jejuni survives ... -
Identification of novel and candidate miRNAs in rice by high throughput sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2008-02-29)Background: Small RNA-guided gene silencing at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels has emerged as an important mode of gene regulation in plants and animals. Thus far, conventional sequencing of small RNA ... -
Identification of rat lung-prominent genes by a parallel DNA microarray hybridization
(BioMed Central, 2006-03-13)Background: The comparison of organ transcriptomes is an important strategy for understanding gene functions. In the present study, we attempted to identify lung-prominent genes by comparing the normal transcriptomes of ... -
Identification of rat lung-specific microRNAs by micoRNA microarray: Valuable discoveries for the facilitation of lung research
(BioMed Central, 2007-01-24)Background: An important mechanism for gene regulation utilizes small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs). These small RNAs play important roles in tissue development, cell differentiation and proliferation, lipid ... -
Identification of the inducing agent of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid pathway encoded by plasmid pJP4
(American Society for Microbiology, 1997-01)The inducing agent of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) pathway of Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134 (pJP4) was determined through the analysis of promoterless lacZ transcriptional fusions with tfd structural genes. ... -
Ideology shapes how workers perceive and react to workplace discrimination: An experimental study on parenthood discrimination
(Elsevier, 2022-01-29)Employers use ideologically-tinged rhetoric to justify workplace discrimination. We argue that workers will be less likely to label biased treatment against them as discriminatory when they subscribe to those ideologies ... -
Immune responses to influenza D virus in calves previously infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus 2
(MDPI, 2023-12-16)Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) induces immunosuppression and thymus depletion in calves. This study explores the impact of prior BVDV-2 exposure on the subsequent immune response to influenza D virus (IDV). Twenty ... -
Immunocytochemical localization of acrosin on both acrosomal membranes and in the acrosomal matrix of porcine spermatozoa
(Medknow Publications, 1983)Immunocytochemical techniques were employed to determine, at the ultrastructural level, the location of acrosin in porcine spermatozoa. Antisera to highly purified porcine acrosin was produced in rabbits. The (Fab') fragments ... -
Immunological factor that affects Anopheles gambiae survival
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 1995)High titers of antibodies against Anopheles gambiae midguts were produced in New Zealand rabbits to identify midgut targets for an antimosquito vaccine. The serum from one of 8 rabbits (designated R2B6) killed 71.6% (Abbott's ... -
Impact of climate trends on tick-borne pathogen transmission
(Frontiers Media, 2012-03-27)Recent advances in climate research together with a better understanding of tick-pathogen interactions, the distribution of ticks and the diagnosis of tick-borne pathogens raise questions about the impact of environmental ... -
Impact of inter- and intra-specific competition among larvae on larval, adult, and life-table traits of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus females
(Wiley, 2015-12-08)1. Few studies have taken a comprehensive approach of measuring the impact of inter- and intra-specific larval competition on adult mosquito traits. In this study, the impact of competition among Aedes aegypti (L.) and A. ... -
Impact of variations in temperature on early Plasmodium falciparum development in Anopheles stephensi

Implementing Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm using light shifts and atomic ensembles
(American Physical Society, 2005-01-27)We present an optical scheme to implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm using ac Stark shifts. The scheme uses an atomic ensemble consisting of four-level atoms interacting dispersively with a field. This leads to a Hamiltonian ... -
Implicit solvation using the superposition approximation (IS-SPA): extension to polar solutes in chloroform
(2020-09-29)Efficient, accurate, and adaptable implicit solvent models remain a significant challenge in the field of molecular simulation. A recent implicit solvent model, IS-SPA, based on approximating the mean solvent force using ... -
