(2) To crush any residual affinity for the monarchy, British propaganda against Thibaw “went into high gear”, said Thant Mtint-U, painting the monarch as an ogre, despot and drunkard.
(3) We have constructed a P2 ogr deletion mutant by in vitro techniques.
(4) Phages carrying Cys or Ala in place of Tyr-42 gave burst sizes at least as high as P2 ogr+ in a rpoA+ strain; a Gly substitution also allowed P2 to grow in either a rpoA+ or rpoA109 background, but markedly reduced the burst size.
(5) There, proprietorial and remorselessly downbeat, like the ogre in Shrek, stands MigrationWatch UK.
(6) Essebsi has dismissed the word “taghaoul” (power grab) that the Marzouki camp has deployed, evoking the ogre (“ghoul”) of north African Berber and Arab legend.
(7) The repeat is not present in the promoter region of P2 ogr.
(8) We propose that the P4 delta and P2 ogr gene products bind the -55 region of the P4 and P2 late promoters.
(9) We have inserted the ogr gene into a plasmid under control of the leftward promoter and operator of bacteriophage lambda.
(10) The bacteriophage P2 ogr gene product, a 72-residue basic protein rich in cysteine and histidine, is a positive regulatory factor for phage late gene transcription in both P2 and satellite phage P4.
(11) Thermal induction of ogr gene expression in this plasmid results in overproduction of a small protein that has been shown by complementation to possess Ogr function.
(12) The bacteriophage P2 ogr gene encodes an 8.3-kDa protein that is a positive effector of P2 late gene transcription.
(13) P2 mutants (P2 ogr) able to overcome the gro109 block have been isolated in which synthesis of late P2 mRNA and phage proteins Is restored.
(14) It seems reasonable to assume that mutants which strongly affect development of the imaginal-specific central nervous system may evidence abnormalities during the late larval or pupal stages when the adult central nervous system is undergoing final assembly and might show a lethal phase prior to eclosion (as is true for mutations at the previously defined l(1)ogre locus).
(15) The cryptic ogr genes are constitutively transcribed, apparently at a higher level than the wild-type ogr gene in a P2 lysogen.
(16) We have made null mutants of the P2 ogr and P4 delta genes.
(17) Seen up close in Helsinki earlier this year, Putin did not look the ogre his critics sometimes make him out to be.
(18) The P2 ogr gene encodes a 72-amino-acid protein required for P2 late gene expression.
(19) Neither GDH or OGR mobility alone clearly differentiated all species, but their combined use provided unambiguous discrimination of all species except F. varium and F. mortiferum.
(20) The DNA sequence of the ogr gene containing the ogr1 mutation was determined.

(2) A combination of upper and lower gastrointestinal VMs was found in 11% of patients with angiodysplasia and 60% of those with the OWR syndrome.
(3) A 23-month-old girl with Osler-Weber-Rendu (OWR) disease manifested by hemoptysis died of massive pulmonary hemorrhage.
