Destruction of the Gunung Leuser National Park area of North Sumatera Province through land clearing and land cover change from natural forest to agricultural land.Less attention to land use and ecosystem carrying capacity of the soil can cause soil degradation and destruction of flora, fauna, and wildlife habitat destruction.Environmental Boomboxe
The paper explores twenty-one Old Testament names found in the text of the translated monument of early Slavic writing, the Ladder of John Climacus.These personal names are a special kind of biblical quotations referring to the events of the Holy History.The study builds on a comparative analysis of the Greek text of the Ladder according to the pub
The EcoCyc database is an online scientific database which provides an integrated view of the metabolic and regulatory network of the bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 and facilitates computational exploration of this important model organism.We have analysed the occurrence of dead end metabolites within the database--these are metabolites which lack
Gross chromosomal rearrangements have the potential to be evolutionarily advantageous to an adapting organism.The generation of a hybrid species increases opportunity for recombination by bringing together two homologous genomes.We sought to define the location of genomic rearrangements in three strains of Saccharomyces pastorianus, a natural lager
Objectives: We previously found that the pluripotency factor OCT4 is reactivated in smooth muscle cells (SMC) in human and mouse atherosclerotic plaques and plays an atheroprotective role.Loss of OCT4 in SMC in vitro was associated with decreases in SMC migration.However, molecular mechanisms responsible for atheroprotective SMC-OCT4-dependent effe
