چکیده
Amphotericin B (AmB) and filipin effects on L and HeLa cells were compared by monitoring drug-induced potassium leakage from cells, changes in radioactive uridine incorporation into cellular ribonucleic acid, protein leakage from cells, and cell viability. L cells were much more susceptible to both AmB and filipin than were HeLa cells, but the overall dose response was similar. For AmB, the various effects were easily separable. Potassium leakage occurred at the lowest concentrations of AmB and was reversible. Inhibition of uridine incorporation and loss of viability occurred at intermediate levels, and protein loss occurred at higher levels. In contrast, filipin was much more potent; its effects on potassium leakage were only minimally reversible, and the separation of the permeabilizing effects from complete cell lysis was possible only over a limited concentration range and for a short time.

متن کاملAgens Faber: Toward a Theory of Artefacts for MAS
Human intelligence has evolved along with the use of more and more sophisticated tools, allowing Homo Faber (from Homo Habilis to Homo Sapiens Sapiens) to cope with environment changes, as well as to adapt the environment to his needs. Analogously, in this seminal paper we introduce the notion of Agens Faber, conveying the idea that agent intelligence should not be considered as separated by th...
متن کاملDifferent Paradigms of Software Agents Applied to Modeling and Simulation of Complex Social Systems
The term agent, deriving from the Latin “agens”, identifies someone (or something) who acts; the same word can also be used to define a mean through which some action is made or caused. The term is used in many different fields and disciplines, such as economics, physics, natural sciences, sociology and many others. In computer science, the word is used to define very heterogeneous entities and...
متن کاملAgents, Intelligence and Tools
This chapter investigates the relationship among agent intelligence, environment and the use of tools. To this end, we first survey, organise and relate many relevant approaches in the literature, coming from both within and without the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science. Then we introduce the A&A metamodel for multiagent systems (MAS), where artifacts, working as tools for ...
متن کاملUsing Candida oleophila as a biocontriol agens to prevent foodborne Escherichia coli O157 EHEC infections
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157) is a serious pathogen causing haemorrhagic colitis. In this study, inactivation kinetics of inoculated EHEC O157 and response of EHEC O157 in apple wounds by different concentrations of C. oleophila was investigated. The results presented in this study indicated that EHEC O157 could survive and grow in wounded 'Fuji' apples and extensively proliferate. Water...
