    A receptor in pituitary and hypothalamus that functions in growth hormone release (1996)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-08-16
    Description: Small synthetic molecules termed growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) act on the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus to stimulate and amplify pulsatile growth hormone (GH) release. A heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor (GPC-R) of the pituitary and arcuate ventro-medial and infundibular hypothalamus of swine and humans was cloned and was shown to be the target of the GHSs. On the basis of its pharmacological and molecular characterization, this GPC-R defines a neuroendocrine pathway for the control of pulsatile GH release and supports the notion that the GHSs mimic an undiscovered hormone.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Howard, A D -- Feighner, S D -- Cully, D F -- Arena, J P -- Liberator, P A -- Rosenblum, C I -- Hamelin, M -- Hreniuk, D L -- Palyha, O C -- Anderson, J -- Paress, P S -- Diaz, C -- Chou, M -- Liu, K K -- McKee, K K -- Pong, S S -- Chaung, L Y -- Elbrecht, A -- Dashkevicz, M -- Heavens, R -- Rigby, M -- Sirinathsinghji, D J -- Dean, D C -- Melillo, D G -- Patchett, A A -- Nargund, R -- Griffin, P R -- DeMartino, J A -- Gupta, S K -- Schaeffer, J M -- Smith, R G -- Van der Ploeg, L H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Aug 16;273(5277):974-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Merck Research Laboratories, Rahway, NJ 07065, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8688086" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: We investigated the potential of montmorillonite, Al-montmorillonite and gravel sludge to immobilize polluting heavy metals in agricultural soil. Batch experiments showed that both Al-montmorillonite and montmorillonite immobilized zinc and cadmium. Zinc was bound specifically on Al-montmorillonite and became increasingly incorporated into the interlayer hydroxy-Al polymer, whereas there was no specific sorption on montmorillonite. Cadmium was bound on montmorillonite and Al-montmorillonite unspecifically by cation exchange, but there was no incorporation into the lattice.In pot experiments montmorillonite, Al-montmorillonite, or gravel sludge were added to a soil contaminated with zinc and cadmium. Increasing doses of these agents decreased the concentrations of NaNO3-extractable zinc and cadmium. Aluminium-montmorillonite and gravel sludge were more efficient than montmorillonite in immobilizing both zinc and cadmium. Remobilization tests at pH between 4 and 5.5 showed that cadmium and zinc desorbed more easily from montmorillonite than from Al-montmorillonite. Gravel sludge application increased the buffer capacity of the contaminated soil substantially. The binding agents decreased zinc concentrations in red clover (Trifolium pratense), and gravel sludge also reduced the cadmium concentrations.

    An instrument for automatic measurements of critical current of superconductors in pulse mode (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 70 (1999), S. 1486-1493

    Notes: An instrument has been developed for direct measurement of critical current and plotting of current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of superconductors in pulse mode. For these measurements, current pulses of increasing height are applied to sample and the voltage developed across the sample is monitored using a low noise voltage measuring circuit. Different sources of error responsible for limiting accuracy of pulse measurements techniques are discussed. A compensation network has been developed to reduce inductively induced voltages generated during pulse measurements, to negligible values. The instrument enables automatic critical current measurement with 1–10 μV/cm criteria in pulse mode without a computer and has voltage sensitivity of 10 nV. Critical current as a function of temperature/magnetic field and I–V characteristics of Bi-2212 single crystal and Y-123 thin films have been plotted using the circuit and the results have been compared with those obtained using direct current measurements. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    SCAR marker tagged to the alien leaf rust resistance gene Lr19 uniquely marking the Agropyron elongatum-derived gene Lr24 in wheat: a revision (2004)

    Notes: A sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker tagged to an Agropyron elongatum-derived leaf rust resistance (Lr) gene Lr19 was validated on 18 known alien Lr gener in near-isogenic lines (NILs) in the variety ‘Thatcher’, along with three wheat cultivers carrying Lr24 and two carrying Lr19. The marker was expressed only in the Lr24 lines confirming that the marker tagged the geneLr24. The monomorphic expression of the SCAR marker in 10NIL pairs for Lr19 and Lr24 revealed that each NIL pair possessed the same gene, Lr24. The donor parents used in the NIL pairs for Lr19 (‘Sunstar*6/C80-1′) and Lr24 (‘TR380-14*7/3Ag#14′) amplified the same fragment. Nonsegregation for leaf rust in the F2 population of the cross between the above donor parents confirmed the presence of the same gene in the two parents. Apparently, a genuine parent stock of ‘Sunstar*6/C80-1’ was not involved in the development of the NIL pairs for Lr19 due to an improper maintence bredding protocol either at source or destination which went undetected in the absence of signs of virulence for either gene in the region.

    Notes: The leaf rust resistance gene Lr19, transferred from Agropyron elongatum into wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) imparts resistance to all pathotypes of leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici) in South-east Asia. A segregating F2 population from a cross between the leaf rust resistant parent ‘HW 2046’ carrying Lr19 and a susceptible parent ‘Agra Local’ was screened in the phytotron against a virulent pathotype 77-5 of leaf rust with the objective of identifying the molecular markers linked to Lr19. The gene was first tagged with a randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker S73728. The RAPD marker linked to the gene Lr19 which mapped at 6.4 ± 0.035 cM distance, was converted to a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. The SCAR marker (SCS73719) was specific to Lr19 and was not amplified in the near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying other equally effective alien genes Lr9, Lr28 and Lr32 enabling breeders to pyramid Lr19 with these genes.

    Notes: Earthquake load, which is cyclic in nature and of short duration, is the main design basis accident load for designing the primary heat transport (PHT) piping components of Nuclear Power Plants. Adequate protection of piping components from the effects of earthquake requires detailed knowledge of strength and deformation characteristics of the components and assemblies making up the piping system. Fracture behaviour of 23 pipes was studied by conducting cyclic tests under four-point bending. Fifteen pipes were of carbon steel (SA333 Grade 6) of 219 mm, 324 mm and 406 mm ODs and eight pipes were of stainless steel (AISI Type 304LN) of 168 mm OD with through-wall circumferential crack. Six pipes were tested under displacement control and the rest under load control. The effect of various parameters such as location and size of initial crack in base metal and weld metal, cyclic load range and displacement increment on crack growth and number of cycles for failure was investigated. The investigations showed significant reduction in the fracture resistance under cyclic loading conditions. Crack growth equations have been proposed for carbon steel pipes with and without weld under cyclic tearing.

    The validity of form-factor, modified-form-factor and anomalous-scattering-factor approximations in elastic scattering calculations (1995)
    [S.l.] : International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)

    Notes: The validity of form-factor, modified-form-factor and anomalous-scattering-factor approximations in predictions of elastic photon-atom scattering is assessed with the aid of the state-of-the-art numerical calculation of Rayleigh scattering obtained using the second-order S-matrix theory, in the photon energy range from 100 eV to 1 MeV. A comparison is made with predictions from S-matrix theory in the same atomic model for representative low-Z (carbon, Z = 6) and high-Z (lead, Z = 82) elements to get a general idea of the validity of these simpler more approximate methods. The importance of bound–bound contributions and the angle dependence of the anomalous scattering factors is discussed. A prescription is suggested, with the assumption of angle independence, that uses simpler approaches to obtain the elastic scattering cross sections in the soft-X-ray regime at the level of accuracy of the S-matrix calculation, failing at large momentum transfers for high-Z elements. Predictions from this prescription are compared with experiment. With starting point the many-body elastic scattering amplitude, a detailed discussion is presented of the partition of the elastic scattering amplitude into Rayleigh and Delbrück scattering components. This partition of the optical theorem reveals contributions from bound–bound atomic transitions, bound pair annihilation and bound pair production that are not usually associated with elastic scattering. In the partitioned optical theorem for Rayleigh scattering, as in the many-body optical theorem for scattering from excited states, subtracted cross sections naturally appear. These terms are needed, in addition to the familiar terms for photoionization, to relate the real and imaginary parts of the scattering amplitude.

    Antagonistic effect of Pseudomonas spp. on pathogenic fungi and enhancement of growth of green gram (Vigna radiata) (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Pseudomonas species were isolated from the rhizosphere of green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] and some of the rhizobacterial isolates were found to have a wide range of antifungal activity inhibiting growth of the phytopathogenic fungi Aspergillus sp., Curvularia sp., Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani in culture. These isolates also showed slight inhibition of the growth of a Bradyrhizobium strain (Vigna) in a spot test which was mainly a result of nutrient competition as culture supernatants of the Pseudomonas isolates did not inhibit the growth of bradyrhizobia but inhibited the growth of fungi. The rhizobacterial isolates produced siderophores in Fe-deficient succinate medium. However, the inhibition of fungal growth by different Pseudomonas isolates in Luria Bertani and King's medium B which were not limiting in Fe3+ ions suggested that, besides siderophores, other antifungal compounds (antibiotics) produced by these rhizobacteria were involved in antagonism. On coinoculation of green gram with Pseudomonas strains MRS13 and MRS16 and Bradyrhizobium sp. (Vigna) strain S24, there was a significant increase in nodule weight, plant dry weight and total plant N as compared to inoculation with Bradyrhizobium strain S24 alone, suggesting that the nodule-promoting effects of Pseudomonas sp. lead to an increase in symbiotic N fixation and plant growth.
