Distributional identification

We report the cloning, expression, pharmacological char-acterization and tissue distribution of a melanocortin (MC) receptor gene in a shark, the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanth-ias) (Sac). Phylogenetic analysis showed that this receptor is anorthologof theMC4 subtype, sharing71%overall amino acid identity with the human (Hsa) MC4 receptor. When expressedandcharacterizedbyradioligandbindingassay for the natural MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) pep-tides a-, b-, and c-MSH, the SacMC4 receptor showed pharmacological properties very similar to the HsaMC4 receptor. ...

We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of the cDNAcoding for a cellular retinol-bindingprotein type I (CRBPI)from zebrafish. The deduced amino acid sequence of the zebrafish CRBPI showed highest sequence identity (
59%)to the mammalian CRBPIs of the intracellular lipid-binding protein (iLBP)multigene family. Phylogenetic analysis clustered the zebrafish CRBPI to the CRBPI clade. The zebrafish CRBPI gene (rbp1)and CRBPII gene (rbp2) both consist of four exons separated by three introns, iden-tical to all otheriLBP genes in vertebrates....

Increasing Quality and Equity in Education: The Case of Chile The actual and counterfactual distributions of school averages are nearly identical. If the counterfactual reflects a substantial increase in sorting on school effectiveness, it must be that effectiveness is responsible for a very small share of the across-school variation in SAT scores.

Let A be an n × n matrix, whose entries are independent copies of a centered random variable satisfying the subgaussian tail estimate. We prove that the operator norm of A−1 does not exceed Cn3/2 with probability close to 1. 1. Introduction Let A be an n × n matrix, whose entries are independent, identically distributed random variables. The spectral properties of such matrices, in particular invertibility, have been extensively studied (see, e.g. [M] and the survey [DS]).

BlueLine Airways is a profound Airline that has established its identity in Europe. To add feathers to its name, the company has decided to automate an additional application to its system where the user can directly search for the list of available flights based on date, location and ticket class. The CEO has chosen your company to provide a solution for the same. Consider yourself to be a part of the team that implements the solution for designing the application. Create an application using advanced Swing controls like JList to display a Flight Reservation Form. ...
