The present invention provides a method for making whole cells of methylotrophic species of genus Pichia competent for transformation by DNA and a method for transforming with DNA whole cells of such species.

A circuit for the transformation of digital video signals, which circuit includes components operative for effecting transformation of a digital video signal in the form of a matrix of signal elements in a sequence which processes the matrix signal elements row by row and column by column, respectively.

This present invention provides a system and method for transforming a main image of a digital image, such as one stored in the Exchangeable Image File ("EXIF") format, updating the metadata, including the thumbnail image, to correspond to the transformed main image. The transformed main image and updated metadata are stored together in a file using the EXIF format so that the transformed main image may be viewed using a digital camera or viewer software compatible with a properly formatted EXIF...

Improved compositions and methods for transformation of flax by microprojectile bombardment and regeneration of fertile transgenic flax plants are provided.

The invention relates to a method for the transformation of legumes of the genus Cyamopsis, in particular Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), by introducing a recombinant DNA sequence into at least one cell or protoplast and generating genetically modified explants using at least one selection or shoot growth medium comprising at least one compound selected from an auxin inhibitor, e.g. 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid (PCIB), a .beta.-lactamase inh...

A method is provided for regenerating cotton plants from explant tissue. The improved method allows the generation of embryogenic callus from a cotton tissue explant which is not cultivated on cotton initiation media having exogenous plant hormones. The method can be utilized in the transformation of cotton plants, by cutting cotton tissue to form an explant, co-cultivating the cotton explant tissue with Agrobacterium comprising a DNA sequence of interest, and culturing the co-cultivated explant...

A method for emulating a processor of a first endian type on a processor of a second endian type, wherein each memory access address B of string length L is transformed to the address A-B-L+S, wherein A is the total number of bytes allocated to a program, and S is the start address of the program.

Mitogen stimulated transformation of blood lymphocytes is effected with a whole blood sample of a quantity of no greater than 0.5 ml, and a mitogen to whole blood sample ratio which prevents agglutination of blood cells to thereby facilitate uniform uptake of reagents by the lymphocytes in subsequent testing. Lymphocyte transformation can be measured by use of a radioisotope, and the technique is particularly suitable for measuring vitamin deficiency by a dU or thymidine suppression test, or for...

A process is disclosed for synthesizing a peptide chain involving reacting, in aqueous solution, an amino acid containing a blocked alpha amino or carboxyl group with a polynucleotide handle to form a covalently bonded complex. The complex is separated from unreacted acid by reversible coupling to a complementary polynucleotide adsorbent immobilized on an insoluble support, and then the complex is eluted from the support as an aqueous solution. The complex is then enzymatically deblocked and use...

An impedance transformation network includes a trifilar wire configuration in which each of three conductors, each having first and second respective ends, is equally spaced with respect to one another over a predetermined length. A substantial portion of the trifilar wire is surrounded by a ferrite material. The first and second ends of a first conductor are connected to first and second connection points of a first circuit. The first end of a second conductor is connected to a first connection...
