Gene Expression Profiling of the nip Mutant in Medicago truncatula
… soils. Our group has isolated a mutant called nip in the model legume Medicago truncatula that is defective in nodule symbiosis. The nip mutant (numerous infections with polyphenolics) becomes infected by Sinorhizobium meliloti but then accumulates polyphenolic defense compounds in the nodule …

Map-based cloning of the NIP gene in model legume Medicago truncatula.
… this work is the M. truncatula nodulation mutant nip (numerous infections and polyphenolics). The NIP gene plays a role in the formation and differentiation of nodules, and development of lateral roots. Studying this mutant will contribute knowledge to understanding the plant response to infection …

The effect of nutritional assessment and counseling of underweight pregnant women enrolled in nutrition intervention project (NIP)
… of underweight pregnant women enrolled in NIP program of the Virginia State Health Department on pregnancy outcomes, including biological, social and nutritional risk variables. A total sample of 2228 prenatal women enrolled in the program from 1988-1991 were subjects for this study. A NIP …

Identification of novel regulators of the necrosis-inducing protein (Nip) and carbapenem antibiotic production in the phytopathogen Pectobacterium
… known to produce a necrosis-inducing protein, Nip, which triggers immunity-associated defence mechanisms. Prior studies identified Hor, RpoS and RsmA as potential regulators of carbapenem. Three regulators of Nip have also been described: the small non-coding RNA rsmB and flagellar proteins …

Physical Map between Marker 8O7 and 146O17 on the Medicago truncatula Linkage Group 1 that Contains the NIP Gene
The Medicago truncatula NIP gene is located on M. truncatula Linkage Group 1. Informative recombinants showed crossovers that localize the NIP gene between markers 146O17 and 23C16D. Marker 164N9 co-segregates with the NIP gene, and the location of marker 164N9 is between markers 146O17 and 23C16D. …

Assessing the impact of corporate governance on the performance of the Namibia Institute of Pathology
… governance of Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP), namely: members of the board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer of NIP. Secondary data was acquired from NIP's annual reports covering a period of 5 years (2017-2021). Seven out of eight respondents completed the questionnaire, which …

Worksite Weight Loss Intervention Utilizing Monetary Incentives and Contingency Management for Overweight and Obese Employees at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
… Program (IP) or a Non-Incentivized Program (NIP). All facility employees were asked to follow a weight loss program for 16-weeks and a 3-month follow-up, with a goal of losing 1 or 1 ½ pounds a week. All had a one-on-one hour-long consultation session with a Registered Dietitian and/or Health …

An experimental investigation of roll coating phenomena
… is essentially one-dimensional throughout the nip; Meniscus coating flow, on the other hand, is uniquely two-dimensional, containing large vortical structures. Also the pressure distributions are found to be quite distinct. A fully-flooded nip results in a pressure profile which exhibits a …

Flow phenomena in fixed-gap and gravure roll coating systems
… the wetting line is located downstream of the nip, either a decrease in the height of the associated hydrostatic head or an increase in the speed ratio causes a reduction in the thickness of the outgoing film. However, when the wetting line is located upstream of the nip the opposite is found …

Engineering novel antibody-based molecules to probe the role of the immunoglobulin hinge and generate a potential cancer vaccine
… human IgG1 mutants specific for the hapten NIP which featured different upper hinge lengths were generated. Rigid bivalent ligands or “molecular rulers” (dsNIP-DNA) comprising defined lengths of double stranded DNA with NIP covalently attached to both ends were produced. ELISA tests …

Molecular design of precise ionic polymer networks for fundamental structure-property-relationships and energy-related applications
… two model systems of network ionic polymers (nIPs) are carefully designed and investigated on how molecular structures affect their functional properties such as ionic conductivity, glass transition, and modulus. A highly conductive yet self-standing solid electrolyte was also designed to …

Models and Methodologies to Address Emerging Needs in Network and Supply Chain Optimization
… a dynamic bi-level network interdiction problem (NIP) in which interdiction activities must be scheduled in order to minimize the cumulative maximum flow over a finite time horizon. A logic-based decomposition (LBD) approach is proposed that utilizes constraint programming to exploit the …

Distality and pairs
… ordered versus stable behavior in a dependent (NIP) theory. We classify certain commonly known expansions of o-minimal structures as distal or non-distal, show certain non-distal examples can be expanded to distal structures, classify non-distal behavior in terms of predicate boundedness, and …

Understanding the Surface Induced Phosphorylation of Prebiotic Molecules by Schreibersite
… vacuum (UHV) apparatus and Fe<sub>2</sub>NiP (schreibersite) surface was performed to permit surface science analysis. The bare surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy …

Conflict between bacteriophages and a mobile genetic element in bacterial immunity
… I show that a gene in the SPβ-like phage Φ3T, nip, was necessary and sufficient to prevent SpbK-mediated anti-phage defense. I found that Nip binds to the TIR domain of SpbK and inhibits NADase activity to prevent abortive infection and enable viable phage production. These findings highlight …

Construction and characterisation of anti-tumour antibody-based proteins for use in diagnostics and therapeutics
… with specificity towards non-biological hapten NIP (4-hydroxy-3-iodo-5-nitrophenylacetate) and for CD33, an established target for certain leukaemias. Structural and functional characterisation of these proteins would act as an initial assessment as to the suitability of these constructs in a …

Challenges facing the implementation of community and home-based early childhood development programmes for vulnerable children aged 0-4 years in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, South Africa
… Plan for Early Childhood Development 2005–2010 (NIP for ECD). The data was organised using organizational coding and conceptually ordered displays, and analysed using the 5-C protocol of implementation as the overarching conceptual framework. The findings of the study showed that the main …
