Differential Display(DD)... and a conceptually similar technique, arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprinting of RNA(APPCR) 19, both PCR amplify subsets of an mRNA population and separate the resulting cDNAs by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Since the introduction of DD in 1992, over 100 reports regarding improvements and/or successful applications have been published. Although DD has the appearance of being technically easy, the road from "band on the gel" to a positive can be treacherous as outlined in a recent commentary. The primary criticisms are(1) a high false positive rate,(2) questioned ability of DD to identify both abundant and rare mRNAs,(3) coding regions of mRNAs are usually not cloned, and(4) verification process is time consuming and usually requires a fair amount of RNA. 5, record 2, English, - differential%20display

En 1992, deux chercheurs du Dana Farber Cancer Institute de Boston (États-Unis), P. Liang et AB Pardee, présentent une nouvelle méthode, le «differential display» (DD) - ou DDRT-PCR (DD reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) qui permet une étude directe des modifications de l'expression génique [...] P. Liang et AB Pardee ont démontré que la combinaison d'amorces arbitraires et d'amorces spécifiques des ARNm permet de générer un set de fragments d'ADNc représentatifs des ARNm d'une cellule. Dans des conditions appropriées, le profil des fragments dérivés d'un type cellulaire est reproductible et peut être comparé à celui des fragments d'un autre type cellulaire.

Where iron particles are present in the soil or the water, they can... be the source of another potential hazard... Oxidation and other chemical reactions can change the size of the ferruginous particles with time, giving rise to unexpected clogging of the geotextile... A... rare form of ferric clogging due to the presence of certain bacteria in geotextile-wrapped drains, has been reported... These bacteria may be subdivided into two groups, one of which oxidizes dissolved iron in the drain water to form a precipitate, and the other of which acts on dissolved organic matter in the drain water, to release iron which may then be oxidized. The result of this bacterial activity is a deposit of bacterial gel containing rusty layers in the drain core. 1, record 3, English, - ferric%20clogging

In the preparation of teeth for conventional dental composite bonded restorations, pit and fissure sealants, cementation of prosthetic restorations, porcelain veneers, and bonding of orthodontic appliances, it is necessary to prepare the desired tooth surface. The standard method is a technique whereby the cleaned and dried tooth surface is treated with an acidic etchant solution or gel. Application of the etchant for a short period of time(approximately one minute) on the tooth surface to be treated, followed by a thorough water rinse and air drying, produces a selective dissolution of the tooth surface to promote an effective bond with the subsequently applied restorative bonding agent or materials. The acid removes calcium salts which increases the size and number of the microspaces. The bonding agent fills these "tags" and is then polymerized to produce the mechanical interlocking of resin to tooth. 1, record 5, English, - etchant%20solution

Étape 2 : Il mélange la résine composite et la teint pour marier la couleur naturelle des dents. Étape 3 : Il applique la résine composite en plusieurs couches. Étape 4 : Chaque couche est durcie (ou polymérisée) à la lumière au fur et à mesure des applications. Étape 5 : Quand la dernière couche a durci, la résine est modelée et polie pour que la dent retrouve son apparence naturelle. 1, record 5, French, - solution%20de%20mordan%C3%A7age

One current proteomic tool for visualizing and quantitating all proteins expressed in a ological system at a given time is two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DGE). As originally described by Patrick O’Farrell for analyzing Escherichia coli proteins in 1975, 2-DGE combines the electrophoretic separation of denatured proteins bysoelectric point charge differences in the first dimension with separation based on molecular size differences in the second dimension. The proteins, which can be detected using protein-specific stains, appear as constellations of spots in the 2-D space of the gel. Over the 20-year history of 2-DGE, numerous algorithms have been developed for comparing 2-DGE patterns and quantitatively analyzing protein abundance. 2, record 6, English, - two%2Ddimensional%20gel%20electrophoresis
