The mononuclear iron complex 1, $Fe^{III}$(Hbida)Cl($H_2O$), was synthesized using a tripodal tetradentate ligand, N-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid (H3bida), which has two carboxylate groups, one benzimida- zoyl group, and one tertiary amine where it serves as a tetradentate chelating ligand for the octahedral Fe(III) ion. The four equatorial positions of the octahedral complex are occupied by two monodentate carboxylates, a benzimidazole nitrogen, and an oxygen of a water molecule. One of the axial positions is occupied by an apical nitrogen of the Hbida and the other by a chloride anion. The mononuclear octahedral complex 1 mimics the geometry of the key intermediate structure of the catalytic reaction cycle proposed for the FeSODs, which is a distorted octahedral geometry with three histidyl imidazoles, an aspartyl carboxylate, a superoxide anion, and a water molecule. The redox potential of complex 1, $E_{1/2}$ is -0.11V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.12 V vs. NHE), which is slightly lower than those reported for the most FeSODs. The magnetic susceptibility of complex 1 at room temperature is 5.83 $\mu$B which is close to that of the spin only value, 5.92 $\mu$B of high-spin d5 Fe(III).

Bovine angiogenin (bAng) is a potent blood vessel inducing protein purified from cow In ilk. fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to study the interaction of bAng with actin in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, and 1 mM $CaCl_2$ at $25^{\circ}C$. Actin contains four tryptophans but bAng contains no tryptophans. A 50% decrease in intrinsic fluorescence accompanied formation of the bAng/actin complex. By contrast, the interaction of RNase A, a homologous protein to bAng, with actin results in about 10% quenching of the fluorescence. Fluorescence titration experiments were performed by adding increasing concentrations of bAng (0~1.0 ${\mu}M$) to a constant concentration of actin (0.1 ${\mu}M$), and the dissociation constant $K_d$ for the bAng/actin complex and the stoichiometry n were measured as $20{\pm}1$ nM and $1.0{\pm}0.1$ respectively. These results suggest that the interaction between bAng with actin is specific and that quenching of actin fluorescence has occurred in the bAng/actin complex. The bAng binding sites of actin are discussed in the results of this study, and we propose that Trp-80 in the small domain of bovine actin is responsible for the bAng/actin binding.

Objective: The major histocompatibility complex in chicken demonstrates a great range of variations within varities, breeds, populations and that can eventually influence their immuneresponses. The preset study was conducted to understand the major histocompatibility complex-B (MHC-B) variability in five major populations of Bangladesh native chicken: Aseel, Hilly, Junglefowl, Non-descript Deshi, and Naked Neck. Methods: These five major populations of Bangladesh native chicken were analyzed with a subset of 89 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the high-density MHC-B SNP panel and Kompetitive Allele-Specific polymerase chain reaction genotyping was applied. To explore haplotype diversity within these populations, the results were analyzed both manually and computationally using PHASE 2.1 program. The phylogenetic investigations were also performed using MrBayes program. Results: A total of 136 unique haplotypes were identified within these five Bangladesh chicken populations, and only one was shared (between Hilly and Naked Neck). Phylogenetic analysis showed no distinct haplotype clustering among the five populations, although they were shared in distinct clades; notably, the first clade lacked Naked Neck haplotypes. Conclusion: The present study discovered a set of unique MHC-B haplotypes in Bangladesh chickens that could possibly cause varied immune reponses. However, further investigations are required to evaluate their relationships with global chicken populations.

In this paper we give a new characterization of real hypersurfaces of type B, that is, a tube over a totally geodesic $\mathbb{Q}P^n$ in complex two-plane Grassmannians $G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})$, where m = 2n, with the Reeb vector $\xi$ belonging to the distribution $\mathfrak{D}$, where $\mathfrak{D}$ denotes a subdistribution in the tangent space $T_xM$ such that $T_xM$ = $\mathfrak{D}{\bigoplus}\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}$ for any point $x{\in}M$ and $\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}=Span{\xi_1,\;\xi_2,\;\xi_3}$.

An acoustic transmission loss analysis method for mufflers with complex geometry is developed using MSC/NASTRAN on the basis of acoustic-structural analogy and two-microphone method. In this study, mufflers with simple and complex shapes are analyzed using this method and compared with theoretical and experimental results to verify it. Applying this method to design of discharge muffler in a rotary compressor, we obtained 2dB(A) of noise reduction in the range of lower than 1300Hz. Futhermore, adopting this technique for a suction muffler in reciprocal compressor, more than 10dB(A) noise reduction at 500Hz, and in total, 3dB(A) noise reduction is achieved.

Let f and g be nonconstant meromorphic (entire, respectively) functions in the complex plane such that f and g are of finite order, let a and b be nonzero complex numbers and let n be a positive integer satisfying $n{\geq}21$ ($n{\geq}12$, respectively). We show that if the difference polynomials $f^n(z)+af(z+{\eta})$ and $g^n(z)+ag(z+{\eta})$ share b CM, and if f and g share 0 and ${\infty}$ CM, where ${\eta}{\neq}0$ is a complex number, then f and g are either equal or at least closely related. The results in this paper are difference analogues of the corresponding results from.

Sharp bounds for the Fekete-Szegö functional |a₃ - 𝜇a²₂| are obtained.

Since complex diseases are caused by interactions of multiple genes, traditional statistical methods are limited in its power to predict the onset of a complex disease. Recently new approaches using machine learning techniques are introduced. Neural nets are a suitable model to find patterns in complex data. When large amount of data are fed into a neural net, however, it takes a long time for learning and finding patterns. In this study we suggest a new model that combines the set association, which is a statistical technique to find important SNPs associated with complex diseases, and neural network. We experiment with SNP data related to asthma to test the effectiveness of our model. Our model shows higher prediction accuracy and shorter execution time than neural net only. We expect our model can be used effectively to predict the onset of other complex diseases.

Mating is an essential behavioural social event in the life cycle of silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.) for the perpetuation of population. A number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors and events of significant importance are involved in successful mating and egg deposition by an adult silk moth which besides biochemical, physiological and environmental factors also includes attraction of reproductively competent male and female moth for mating, duration and frequency of mating, age of moth at the time of mating, reuse of male moth in the production of eggs etc. An attempt has been made in this review article to elucidate briefly the behaviour of male towards female moth after eclosion, impact of duration and frequency of mating on egg deposition and oviposition, reuse of mated male moth in the production of quality and quantity eggs etc. in the silk-worm, B. mori and its significance in silkworm seed production.

Let B(X) denote the algebra of operators on a complex Banach space X, H(X) = {h ${\in}$ B(X) : h is hermitian}, and J(X) = {x ${\in}$ B(X) : x = $x_1$ + $ix_2$, $x_1$ and $x_2$ ${\in}$ H(X)}. Let ${\delta}_a$ ${\in}$ B(B(X)) denote the derivation ${\delta}_a$ = ax - xa. If J(X) is an algebra and ${\delta}_a^{-1}(0){\subseteq}{\delta}_{a^*}^{-1}(0)$ for some $a{\in}J(X)$, then ${\parallel}a{\parallel}{\leq}{\parallel}a-(x^*x-xx^*){\parallel}$ for all $x{\in}J(X){\cap}{\delta}_a^{-1}(0)$. The cases J(X) = B(H), the algebra of operators on a complex Hilbert space, and J(X) = $C_p$, the von Neumann-Schatten p-class, are considered.
