The wheel-rail wear problems inherent to Bottle Battle railway operation have become increasingly prominent and serious, as they have been proven to be the main factors which affect safety, stability of electric multiple units (EMUs), and wheel-rail maintenance cost.The multiobjective optimization model of CN wheel profile proposed in this study wa
Dosage compensation is an essential process that equalizes transcript levels of X-linked genes between sexes by forming a domain of coordinated gene expression.Throughout the evolution of Diptera, many different X-chromosomes acquired the ability to be dosage compensated.Once each newly evolved X-chromosome is targeted for dosage compensation in XY
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The importance of sperm capacitation for mammalian fertilization has been confirmed in the present study via sperm metabolism.Involvement of the metabolic enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) and its E3 subunit, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) in hamster in vitro fertilization (IVF) via in vitro sperm capacitation is
