Using the Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), we obtained submillimeter polarization maps of the Bok globules B 335, CB 230, and CB 244 at 850 μm. We find strongly aligned polarization vectors in the case of B 335 and CB 230, indicating a strong coupling of the magnetic field to the dust grains. Based on the distribution of the orientat...

Apricitabine (ATC) is a novel deoxycytidine analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor in development for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Studies were performed to characterize the excretion of ATC and its metabolite, BCH-335 (-1-(2-hydroxymethyl-[1,3]oxathiolan-4-yl)-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione), in the isolated perfused rat kidney (IPK). A second objective was to investigate ...

Skeletal metastasis is the major problem in the management of prostate cancer (PCa). Even though the regulatory role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the control of tumor metastases has been well described in numerous types of cancer, the importance in bone metastasis of PCa remains largely unknown. In the present study, the differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between the primary PCa and bo...

DREB2 (dehydration-responsive element-binding factor 2)-type transcription factors play a critical role in the stress-related regulation network in plants. In this study, we isolated and characterized a DREB2 homolog from Malus sieversii Roem., designated MsDREB2C (GenBank accession No. JQ790526). MsDREB2C localized to the nucleus and transactivated reporter genes in yeast strain YGR-2. Quantit...

In this paper, we introduce a variant of the orienteering problem in which travel and service times are stochastic. If a delivery commitment is made to a customer and is completed by the end of the day, a reward is received, but if a commitment is made and not completed, a penalty is incurred. This problem reflects the challenges of a company who, on a given day, may have more customers than it...

We extend our recent study of adsorption on fcc (112) to fcc (335) surfaces, still considering only first- and second-neighbor interactions with repulsive first-neighbors. We consider the adsorbate-substrate interaction on the step sites of one of the two edges of the infinitely long terraces to be different from that on the remaining sites. The adsorption features on fcc (335) surfaces are ric...
