Chemical Studies on Japanese Coccidae. (XX.)

Studies of Pacific Island Plants , XX Notes on Some Fijian

IN RECENT YEARS collections made by staff members of the Fiji Department of Agriculture have substantially added to the available study material of Fijian plants, permitting more adequate knowledge of many species and the recognition of others as new to science. Study of the Rubiaceae of these collections has made desirable the publication of notes to clarify certain complexes within the genus ...

The ACTN3 XX genotype's underrepresentation in Japanese elite wrestlers.

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between ACTN3 polymorphisms and level of athletic performance in Japanese wrestlers. METHODS The control group consisted of 243 healthy Japanese individuals. The authors divided 135 wrestlers into 3 groups based on their results in national or international competitions. They classified as elite 24 wrestlers who had placed in the top 8 in a world championsh...

Chemical biology studies on norrisolide.

The cellular activity of norrisolide (7), a novel Golgi-vesiculating agent, was dissected as function of its chemical structure. This natural product induces irreversible vesiculation of the Golgi membranes and blocks protein transport at the level of the Golgi. The Golgi localization and fragmentation effects of 7 depend on the presence of the perhydroindane core, while the irreversibility of ...

Chemical Studies on Sludge Digestion

Chemical Studies on Bacterial Agglutination

1. A method, conforming to the criteria of quantitative analytical chemistry, is described for the estimation of the agglutinin content of antisera. Examples are given of the application of the method to various antipneumococcus sera. 2. This new, absolute method is discussed with regard to its relation to the commonly used relative methods.
