“Adaptive response” - Some underlying mechanisms and open questions
Organisms are affected by different DNA damaging agents naturally present in the environment or released as a result of human activity. Many defense mechanisms have evolved in organisms to minimize genotoxic damage. One of them is induced radioresistance or adaptive response. The adaptive response could be considered as a nonspecific phenomenon in which exposure to minimal stress could result i...
متن کاملAdaptive Response in Animals Exposed to Non-Ionizing Radiofrequency Fields: Some Underlying Mechanisms
During the last few years, our research group has been investigating the phenomenon of adaptive response in animals exposed to non-ionizing radiofrequency fields. The results from several separate studies indicated a significant increase in survival, decreases in genetic damage as well as oxidative damage and, alterations in several cellular processes in mice pre-exposed to radiofrequency field...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying nitroglycerin-induced superoxide production in platelets: some insight, more questions.
Nitroglycerin (NTG) has been the foremost anti-ischemic agent used in clinical medicine for more than a century. NTG is a potent vasodilator of veins, arterial conductance vessels, and collaterals that has minimal effects on arteriolar tone. At the cellular level, NTG is biotransformed by a still unknown enzymatic process in endothelial cells, smooth muscle, and to some extent platelets, causin...
متن کاملSome Open Questions Related to Cuckoo Hashing

متن کاملHypergraph Turán Problem: Some Open Questions
Here we present a selection of some open questions related to the hypergraph Turán problem. Let [n] denote the interval {1, . . . , n}. For a set X and an integer k, let ( X k ) = {Y ⊆ X : |Y | = k} be the family of all k-subsets of X. By a k-graph F we understand a k-uniform set system, that is, F is a pair (V,E) where V is the set of vertices and E ⊆ ( V k ) . For convenience, we will identif...
