Hairpin - Hairpin A hairpin is a blunt needle in the form of a narrow U to fixate hair into position. A road in the mountains often has hairpin turns, almost 180 degrees turns (with a shape like a hairpin) for zigzagging up and down slopes, to reduce the steepness. Although when hiking the steepness can be higher, it is also applied in trails. Similarly ramps for wheelchairs, buggies and shopping carts may zigzag. In genetics, a hairpin is a part of single-stranded DNA, usually a palindromic sequence, that aligns with itself to form a needle-like structure. A single-stranded DNA like ---CCTGCXXXXXXXGCAGG--- becomes ---C G--- C G T A G C C G X X X X X X X In music (specifically, sheet music), hairpins are symbols.
Joseba Beloki - de France in 2000 (3rd place), 2001 (3rd place) and 2002 (2nd place). On July 14, 2003, during the ninth stage of the 2003 Tour de France, Beloki was in second place overall (just 40 seconds behind Lance Armstrong) and negotiating a hairpin turn while descending Cote de La Rochette, just 8km from the stage finish at Gap. His tire lost traction in road tar that had been made molten by the sun (Road surface temperature was reported to be 125F), sending his rear wheel skidding first in one direction and then the other and shreding the rear tire. Beloki suffered a hard fall that broke his right femur in two places, his elbow and his wrist. In the 2004 Tour de France, Beloki is expected to ride with the Stayer.
Icefields Parkway - busy in the summer months of July and August with peak traffic flow of 100,000 vehicles per month. The parkway is primarily a two lane highway with occasional passing lanes. The highway is well engineered to minimize grades and hairpin turns but drivers must also be on the lookout for wildlife, vehicles stopped on the shoulder and cyclists. Going north from Lake Louise, the Icefields Parkway passes the following points of interest: Crowfoot glacier Bow Summit (2088m) and Peyto Lake Mistaya Canyon Saskatchewan Crossing Parker Ridge Columbia Icefield Icefield Centre Athabasca Falls Sunwapta Pass and Sunwapta Falls A national parks permit is required to travel on the Icefields parkway and permit check stations near Lake Louise and Jasper enforce the law. Commercial trucks are prohibited from using the parkway. The maximum.

AVUS - and Nikolassee. It is unusual in as much as it is essentially just two long straights in the form of a dual carriageway, with a hairpin corner at each end. The circuit was devised by the Automobilklub von Deutschland (AvD), in 1907, as both a motor-sport venue and a testing track for the motor industry. A lack of finances delayed the start of construction for six years, and construction was halted in 1913 for the same reason. During the Great War, Russian prisoners were employed in AVUS's construction, but the track was still unfinished by 1918. The remaining work was financed by business man Hugh Stinnes, and the circuit opened in September 1921. At the time of opening, AVUS was 19.5 km (12 miles) long - each straight being approximately half.
Beta sheet - structural rigidity and integrity. The α-C atoms of adjacent strands stand 3.5 apart. The side chains from the amino acid residues found in a β sheet structure may also be arranged such that many of the adjacent sidechains on one side of the sheet are hydrophobic, while many of those adjacent to each other on the alternate side of the sheet are polar or charged (hydrophilic). Some sequences involved in a β sheet, when traced along the backbone, take a hairpin turn in orientation (direction), sometimes through one or more prolines. See also : tertiary structure -- α helix -- collagen helix.

The Italian Job - to take in as many sights of Turin as possible. After the heist, the gang transfer the gold to the Minis in the entrance hall of the Museum of Egypt. The three Minis then race through the stylish shopping arcades of the Via Roma, up the sail-like roof of the Palazzo Vela, around the rooftop test track of the famous Fiat Lingotto building and even down the steps of the Gran Madre di Dio church while a wedding is in progress. They finally escape the city by driving through large sewers, throwing off the police in the process. (This part of the stunt action was mundanely filmed at a large waterworks on the outskirts of Coventry). The gang make their final getaway on a coach - driving up a ramp on.
Transcription - recognizes the promoter region of the gene and binds to the DNA at that specific location. At this stage, the DNA is still double-stranded and called closed complex. The DNA is unwound and becomes single-stranded at the initiation site (the -10 promoter region). This is called open complex. The DNA is melted (the strands are locally separated), the σ-factor leaves the holoenzyme, and the transcription process begins. This is the elongation phase. Elongation The RNAP runs along the DNA, synthesizing mRNA in the process. In bacteria, the nascending mRNA is processed right away by ribosomes. Termination The elongation stops if: The terminator is reached. The terminator is usually a palindromic DNA sequence that forms a hairpin. A ρ factor (a protein) binds and runs along the mRNA towards the RNAP. When.
Trail - allow motorized vehicles. When a trail climbs up a steep incline, it usually follows a zigzag pattern to reduce the slope. Each segment of the zigzag is called a switchback (see also hairpin). Trail construction While many trails have arisen through common usage, quality trail design and construction is a complex process requiring certain sets of skills. When a trail passes across a flat area that is not wet, often all that is required is to clear brush, tree limbs and undergrowth to produce a clear, walkable trail. When crossing streams, bridges may or may not be desirable, depending on the size of the stream and the depth of its banks. In wet areas, it may be necessary to create an elevated trailway with fill or by building a boardwalk. One.
SECIS element - within the mRNA to code for selenocysteine. The SECIS element appears defined by sequence characteristics, i.e. particular nucleotides tend to be at particular positions in it, and a characteristic secondary structure. The secondary structure is the result of base-pairing of complementary RNA nucleotides, and causes a hairpin-like structure. The SECIS element includes A-G base pairs, which are uncommon in nature, but are critically important to correct SECIS element function. In bioinformatics, several computer programs have been created that search for SECIS elements within a genome sequence, based on the sequence and secondary structure characteristics of SECIS elements..
Sherlock Holmes - was how to identify an unknown prisoner. I could have done it in twenty-four hours. Lecoq took six months or so. It might be made a textbook for detectives to teach them what to avoid." Sherlock seems convinced that he is superior to both of them, while Watson expresses his admiration of the two characters. It has been suggested that this was a way for Doyle to pay some respect to characters by writers who had influenced him, while insisting that his character is an improvement over them. Holmes's arch-enemy, and popularly-supposed nemesis was Professor James Moriarty ("the Napoleon of Crime") who fell, struggling with Holmes, over the Reichenbach Falls. Conan Doyle intended "The Final Problem", the story in which Holmes and Moriarty fell over the cliff, to be the last.
RNA - gives the molecule far greater catalytic versatility and allows it to perform reactions that DNA is incapable of performing. The other major difference between RNA and DNA is that RNA is almost exclusively found in the single-stranded form (an exception being the genetic material of some kinds of viruses). RNA molecules often fold into more complex structures by making use of complementary internal sequences; that is, one part of a single RNA molecule is the nucleic acid complement of another part of the same molecule (for exampls, 5'-ACUCGA-3' and 5'-UCGAGU-3'), so that the two strands bind together. This allows the formation of hairpin loops, coils, etc., which then direct the formation of higher-order structures. The first life on earth may have been RNA-based, due to RNA's ability both to carry genetic.
Qi Qiao Jie - sisters elect the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhi N (織女, weaver girl, the star Vega) to retrieve their clothing. She does so, but since Niu Lang sees her naked she must agree to his request for marriage. She proves to be a wonderful wife, and Niu Lang a good husband, and they are very happy together. But the Goddess of Heaven (in some versions Zhi N's mother) finds out that a mere mortal has married one of the fairy girls and she's furious. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratches a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever (thus forming the Milky Way). Zhi N must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niu Lang watches her from afar.

Malaysian Grand Prix - the race and handing the victory to title-hopeful team-mate Eddie Irvine, only for both Ferraris to be disqualified due to a technical irregularity, handing the title - until the steward's decision was over-ruled - to Mika Hakkinen. Since 2001, the Malaysian Grand Prix has moved from the end of the schedule to the beginning, which has seen some topsy-turvy results as teams and drivers get to grips with their new equipment, with many races heavily influenced by the winners and losers of the scramble for position into the tight double hairpin bend at the first corner. Winners 1999 - Eddie Irvine, Great Britain 2000 - Michael Schumacher, Germany 2001 - Michael Schumacher, Germany 2002 - Ralf Schumacher, Germany 2003 - Kimi Raikkonen, Finland.
MiRNA - reverse complement. When this DNA sequence is transcribed into a single-stranded RNA molecule, the miRNA sequence and its reverse-complement base pair to form a double stranded RNA segment; overall this RNA structure is called a hairpin structure. The Dicer enzyme then cutss the 20-25 nucleotide double stranded region out of the hairpin structure, to release the mature miRNA. The function of miRNA appears to be gene regulation. For that purpose, a miRNA is complementary to a part of one or more messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The annealing of the miRNA to the mRNA results in a double-stranded RNA, which is not transcribed into protein. In many cases, it is believed, this double-stranded RNA somehow triggers the degradation of the mRNA transcript through a process similar to RNA interference. In either case, the.
