Some aspects of the roll compaction of strip from iron powder by the BISRA process

Steel strip has been made from iron powder by the BISRA process. A water atomised powder and a reduced powder have been characterised. The water atomised powder has been sieved, elutriated and re-blended to form a series of approximately log-linear size distributions, and these have also been characterised. Particular attention has been paid to particle size distribution, apparent density, tap density, compressibility and weight specific surface. Mechanical and physical properties of the strip have been measured at various stages in its production. The properties have been found to depend on the processing conditions and on the powder characteristics. The processing conditions used did not produce satisfactory strip when very fine water atomised powder was used; an explanation for this has been proposed. [Continues.

Additional file 4: of Genome-wide transcriptional analyses in Anopheles mosquitoes reveal an unexpected association between salivary gland gene expression and insecticide resistance

Comparison of the cavity binding serotonin in the D7r4 crystal structure (PDB code 2qeh; [15]) and the larger cavity predicted for modelled D7r2, largely due to the replacement of Phe110 and Leu43 with Val residues. The figure was made with PyMOL ( pymol.org ). (PNG 1766 kb

SNPs of Sahelian mosquito populations

The dataset used in the above publication contain genotypes at 738 SNPs loci in a total of 505 mosquitoes representing 13 samples. The variable PoD denotes locality, followed by year (the last two digits of years spanning 2008 to 2011), and month, each in 2 letter code (see paper for complete locality names, GPS coordinates and descriptions). MosID is the variable containing the mosquito unique identifier, followed by the variables listing the mosquito sex (Sex) and collection date (CollDate). The locus variable is defined by the chromosome arm e.g., '2R' and followed by the unique position of this SNP in the conventional genome sequence of Anopheles gambiae. The genotype of this mosquito at this locus is provided in the variable Geno. Undetermined genotypes are denoted by zeros
