Key role of piRNAs in telomeric chromatin maintenance and telomere nuclear positioning in Drosophila germline

Abstract Background Telomeric small RNAs related to PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been described in various eukaryotes; however, their role in germline-specific telomere function remains poorly understood.Using a Drosophila model, we performed an in-depth study of the biogenesis of telomeric piRNAs and their function in telomere homeostasis i

Effect of Height to Diameter Ratio on The Behaviour of High Performance Concrete Specimen with Different Shapes under Compression Load

The strength of concrete is considered as the most basic and important material property in the design of reinforced concrete structures.The two standard methods (ASTMC39-03 and BS1881-part 116) for determining the compressive strength of concrete are the testing to failure of cylinder and cube specimens respectively.It has become a problem to use

Aerodynamic efficiency enhancement for asymmetric profiles

This paper presents a solution for enhancement of aerodynamic efficiency for asymmetric airfoils.In order to increase the lift and reduce the drag forces for a Bed linen blade segment, a groove was created on its surface.There were carried out experiments consisting in the analysis of two asymmetric airfoil segments of the same type in the wind tun
