DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for phenotypic diversification in all forms of life.We previously described remarkable cell-to-cell heterogeneity in epigenetic pattern within a clonal population of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a leading human pathogen.We here report that the epigenetic diversity is caused by extensive DNA inversio
The weld metal (WM) was generally regarded as one Little girls L/S onesie of the weakest zones in the dissimilar welded joints.The microstructure and fracture mechanism of the multi-pass WM are systematically probed in the present study.The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show more voids in the equiaxed grain zone (EGZ) adjacent to the f
Abstract Introduction Radionecrosis (post-radiotherapy laryngeal submucosal inflammation Hayward Main Drain Parts and necrosis) is a complication of (chemo) radiotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer that is difficult to differentiate from tumor recurrence.Case presentation A 67-year-old Japanese man presented with a condition extremely difficult to di
Previous studies have found associations between cognitive function and chronic kidney disease.We aimed to explore possible explanations for this association in the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development, a prospective birth cohort representative of the general British population.Cognitive function at age 60-64 years was
Rice seed storage protein (SSP) is an important source of nutrition and energy.Understanding the genetic basis of SSP content and mining favorable alleles that control it will be helpful for breeding new improved cultivars.An association analysis for SSP content was performed to identify underlying genes using 527 diverse Oryza sativa accessions gr
