  Polish National Alliance
A so-called "left" [Lewica] faction of PNA activists led by Censor Casimir Sypniewski (1877-1958) did push for close ties with the new regime, but the Lewica was defeated by the more conservative "old guard" faction led by Francis Swietlik (1890-1983, censor from 1931 to 1947) at the 1931, 1935 and 1939 PNA conventions.
Elected as the PNA's chief judicial officers are the censor and a deputy or vice censor.
The PNA emblem is a shield showing an eagle, a knight on horseback, and the Archangel Michael -- symbolizing Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine -- the three main regions of the old Polish commonwealth that lasted until the eighteenth century.

 PNA Peptide Nucleic Acid
PNA or peptide nucleic acid is a DNA mimic with a pseudopeptide backbone.
PNA is an extremely good structural mimic of DNA (or RNA), and PNA oligomers are able to form very stable duplex structures with Watson-Crick complementary DNA, RNA (or PNA) oligomers, and they can also bind to targets in duplex DNA by helix invasion.
It was realized that two homothymine PNAs had formed a triplex with the homoadenine target in the double stranded DNA, while displacing the homothymine strand in the DNA target.

 PNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PNA is peptide nucleic acid, a chemical similar to DNA or RNA but differing in the composition of its "backbone." PNA is not known to occur naturally in existing life on Earth but is artificially synthesized and used in some biological research and medical treatments.
PNAs are depicted like peptides, with the N-terminus at the first (left) position and the C-terminus at the right.
PNAs are not easily recognized by either nucleases or proteases, making them resistant to enzyme degradation.

PNA prisons and police stations are neither safe nor secure, being subjected to repeated aerial bombardment by Israeli combat aircraft.
PNA Security Services have, since their establishment, enjoyed impunity for violations of human rights, including: illegal arrests, torture and ill-treatment (sometimes leading to custodial deaths), attacks on political opposition as well as PLC members, and excessive use of force in facing demonstrations.

 Routefinder PNA: Windows CE guides the way (EasyPrint)
The PNA uses a 320 x 240 grayscale screen similar to those used on palm-sized PC units, but instead of a stylus for user input, it uses a telephone-style alphanumeric keypad and a set of four function keys that change their mode depending on what's displayed on the screen.
The PNA alerts you by voice to upcoming turns when you are less than one mile away, less than one-half mile away, and immediately as you approach each turn.
The PNA also has a tendency to talk very fast, and will start jabbering like crazy if you have markers that are close to each other, even if you're going straight on the same road.

 A Novice's Guide to PNA: Breed Information: Kerry Health: United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club
PNA stands for progressive neuronal abiotrophy, also referred to as cerebellar cortical and extrapyramidal nuclear abiotrophy, or simply abiotrophy, a genetically transmitted, fatal disease in Kerry Blue Terriers.
PNA normally shows up before 16 weeks of age, though there are at least two recent confirmed cases, and a couple of less recent unconfirmed ones, where affected dogs did not show symptoms until they were 6-8 months old.
Essentially, PNA is a breeder's loss in that it has a fairly early age of onset (on average 11 weeks of age).

 Improved PCR Amplification of VNTR Locus D1S80 Using PNA (Peptide Nucleic Acid) Oligomers
PNA mimics DNA in terms of its ability to recognize and bind to complementary nucleic acid sequences but does so with higher thermal stability and specificity than corresponding oligodeoxynucleotides.
To accomplish this the PNA had to anneal to its target sequence at a relatively high temperature and yet be destabilized enough at extension temperatures to be displaced by the polymerase.
D1S80 alleles refractory to PNA enhancement were presumed to have polymorphisms within the repeat units that were not represented by the composite PNA.

 ZymaX - Perchlorate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
PNAs are more commonly found in natural environments than their parent PNAs as they are more resistant to degradation e.g.
The concentration of PNA's in crude oil and their characterization are a function of the initial organic matter and the maturity.
The PNA present in coal tar oil is derived from (1) the PNA native to coal and (2) the pyrogenic PNA, which are formed when coal is retorted (i.e., treated at high temperature in a closed vessel).

 PNA-FISH
PNA chemistry can be used to fabricate small oligomers.
The first use of PNA probes was to visualize the mammalian telomere.
Despite the short length of the PNA oligomers the strength of interaction with target, and hence the strength of the FISH signal, is greater than for a DNA oligomer.

 K/DOQI Update 2000
The estimation of PNA from measurements of urea nitrogen is readily performed from the routine urea kinetic modeling session in HD patients and, at least in theory, should be subject to less measurement error than dietary diaries and recall.
The equations used to estimate PNA are discussed in Appendix V.
However, PNA should not be used to evaluate nutritional status in isolation, but rather as one of several independent measures when evaluating nutritional status.

The term PNA has several definitions in the literature, but they are chemically the same.
The structure of a PNA is similar to a DNA oligomer except that there is no phosphodiester backbone.

 Research in PNA
This gave us the conformation that she was indeed a carrier of PNA and I began discussing the situation with the Neurologist at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
Thus, having parents of two different breeds with a PNA offspring, allows the researchers to first divide out the genes from the different parents and then compare where they are the same to help in locating the single gene responsible for the disease (the marker!).
This serves two very important purposes, it increases the chances of finding the PNA marker due to an increased amount of DNA to work with, and since there is no Kerry specific PNA project at this time, it allows for the continued inclusion of Kerries in the current research.

 Climate Prediction Center - Pacific/North American (PNA)
The PNA pattern is associated with strong fluctuations in the strength and location of the East Asian jet stream.
The positive phase of the PNA pattern is associated with above-average temperatures over western Canada and the extreme western United States, and below-average temperatures across the south-central and southeastern U.S. The PNA tends to have little impact on surface temperature variability over North America during summer.
The positive phase of the PNA pattern tends to be associated with Pacific warm episodes (El Niño), and the negative phase tends to be associated with Pacific cold episodes (La Niña).

 Panagene Inc. Has Developed A Novel PNA Chemistry
PNA is a nucleic acid analog in which the entire phosphate sugar backbone has been replaced by an uncharged polyamide backbone with the side groups, purine and pyrimidine bases, found in biological nucleic acids.
PNAs mimic DNA but are known to be more stable and to bind stronger and more specific to single-stranded DNA or RNA than DNA.
The new Panagene PNA technology enables a large-scale synthesis of PNA monomers and a convenient synthesis of PNA oligomer, with which synthesis of PNA monomers and oligomers at lower cost, higher yield, and higher purity than today's standard was accomplished.
