Anatomical investigation of the accessory nerve
The eleventh cranial nerve, known as the accessory nerve (CN XI), consists of a cranial and a spinal component. The spinal root is responsible for the motor innervation of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle and the trapezius (TZ) muscle. During neck dissection, shoulder syndrome presents in …

Fusarium poae: Secondary Metabolism and Accessory Chromosomes
… content consistent with rapidly evolving 'accessory' genomes in plant pathogenic fungi. Termed 'supernumerary' or 'accessory' chromosomes, these dynamic chromosomes can encode transcriptionally active secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), high numbers of transposable …

The Effects of Accessory Proteins on ENaC Function
… and pESC-Leu/γ in order to further characterize accessory proteins in yeast screens using the heterotrimeric channel. An antibody screen against the subunits of ENaC was then performed using Murine Principle Kidney Cortical Collecting Duct (mpkCCD) cells as a means of identifying a primary …

Encoding and Processing of Accessory Olfactory System Odorants
The accessory olfactory system is a mouse olfactory subsystem dedicated to the processing of nonvolatile odors originating from the excretions of other animals. Accessory olfactory system activity drives behaviors critical for mouse survival such as mating, aggression, and predator avoidance. …

Investigating Experience-Dependent Plasticity in the Accessory Olfactory Bulb
Chemosensory information processing in the mouse accessory olfactory system (AOS) guides the expression of social behavior. After salient chemosensory encounters, the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) experiences changes in the balance of excitation and inhibition at reciprocal synapses between mitral …

Analysis of the accessory business : focus on electromechanical grips
… neglected. This project will focus on the accessory business of the electromechanical systems. The intent has been to identify the major problems that the accessory business faces and provide the company with a set of tools and guidelines that will help the company perform more effectively. …

ROLES OF ACCESSORY DOMAINS IN THE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT OF ISW2
Regulation of chromatin structures in eukaryotes involves ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler complexes. ISW2 belongs to the ISWI family of chromatin remodelers in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and has been shown to be involved in transcription repression and DNA replication. The catalytic subunit of ISW2 …

What next for accessory dwellings? : getting from bylaws to buildings
Accessory dwellings-secondary, self-contained housing units on the same property as a primary residence, either attached to or detached from the main dwelling, and subordinate in size, location and appearance-are recognized by planners, homeowners, and occupants alike as an efficient tool for …

Evaluation of the potential functions of Avian paramyxovirus Accessory proteins
… APMV 2-12. APMV expresses six structural and two accessory proteins. The functions of APMV accessory proteins (V and W) are not fully established. Only the function of V protein in NDV is studied so far. V protein was found to be an IFN antgonist and a major virulent determinant of NDV. In this …

Regulation of Expression and Function of Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors by Accessory Subunits
… the two stoichiometries is the subunit at the accessory position - either α or β. However, it is unknown if this structural nuance yields any biophysical differences to the overall channel function and expression. We aimed to investigate the mechanism by which nicotine modulates differential …

Investigation of Accessory Olfactory Interneuron Physiology and Function After Experience-Dependent Plasticity
The accessory olfactory system (AOS) is critical for the development and expression of social behavior. Through the detection of non-volatile chemosignals, the AOS has been specifically implicated in the display of sex-typical behavior, such as mating, maternal behavior, and territorial aggression. …

Accessory Nucleases Provide Robust Antiparasite Immunity for Type III CRISPR-Cas Systems
<p>To protect against parasites like bacteriophages and plasmids, bacteria employ diverse and sophisticated defence systems. Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems that can integrate short "spacers" from a parasite into its CRISPR …

"""Accessory Invalids"" and the ""Central Figure"": Illness in the Works of Henry James"
Henry James portrayed a great deal of illness in his fiction, and his portrayal shows his recognition of the illnesses of the day, as well as the medical theories of the day. James's presentation of nervous illnesses, febrile illness, tuberculosis, and insanity all conform to theories that …

Identification of Novel Core and Accessory Factors Involved in Nucleotide Excision Repair in Yeast
… focused on identifying novel core and accessory factors which function in NER. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, GGR has previously been shown to be dependent on Rad7 and Rad16. We revealed Elc1, the yeast homolog of human elongin C, as a novel GGR-specific factor. Elc1 is …

Regulation of Mu transposition via communication between the transposase and Mu-encoded accessory protein
… the Mu transposase, MuA, and a Mu-encoded accessory protein, MuB. Together, these two proteins regulate Mu transposition and targeting. We demonstrate that MuB interacts with multiple subunits of the MuA transposase complex to stimulate transposition. These results corroborate previous …

The United Nations in Cambodia and El Salvador: Promoter of peace or accessory to revolution?
Under the right conditions, flawed U.N. interventions can actually help to increase the potential for revolution. Looking at relatively homogeneous nation-states in particular, this revolutionary potential is highest when there is a conjuncture of the following elements: crisis of state resources, …
