Results of laboratory tests regarding UVC surface activation ofpolyamide fiber materials in air using low-pressure mercury lamps with 185 nm and 254 nm emissions are shown. The effect of irradiation on fiber strength was studied to find out suitable process parameters for providing the UVC treatment efficient but as gentle as possible to avoid negative effects on reinforcement properties. Application of a laboratory process for UVC pretreatment leads to significantly increased adhesion strength between the fibers and the melt processable elastomers on the base of TPA (polyamide) respectively TPU (polyurethane).展开更多

The subtractive cDNA library of PIH placenta was set up and screedned. Differential cDNAs were cloned, and sequenced by T 7 primer methodology. One hundred and three differential cDNAs were isolated by SSH. Sequencing and BLAST analysis showed 90 inserts shared more than 95% homolog with sequences in the GenBank/EMBL database. We identified 36 putative genes including pregnancy-specific glycoprotein gene (BC005924), serine protease inhibitor gene(BC012868), VEGFR-1 gene(AF063657, etc.展开更多

By using both S1 nuclease mapping and primer extension, two transcription start sites were demonstrated in the sequence. After the first transcription start site, there were two open reading frames (ORF) followed by the nodD3 coding sequence which was also preceded by the second promoter.The nodD3 gene under the first promoter mediated high,constitutive expression of nodC-lacZ fusion,and the gene under the second promoter required the product of nodD1 and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seed exudate for the activation of fusion.Nodulation experiments showed that the nodD3 gene under either promoter was functional in eliciting nodules on alfalfa.The deletion of part of the two ORFs after the first promoter or deletion of the second promoter did not block the constitutive expression of nodC-lacZ fusion, whereas the deletion of the first promoter region or a polar insertion mutation between the two pr moters did cause nodD3 to activate nodC only in the presence of the inducer.It indicates that nodD3 can be transcribed from the first promoter as well as from a separate second promoter.展开更多
