Four compounds previously described as antimutagenic for human lymphocytes in vitro were tested on their immunomodulatory activity in lymphocyte cultures. The standard immunocytochemical methods were applied for microscopic examination of the percentual representation of the main lymphocyte subpopulation. The results imply that all of the tested compounds exhibited significant immunomodulatory ...

Recent OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) and GLITP (Gravitational Lens International Time Project) monitoring data for QSO 2237+0305 (Huchra et al. 1985) have been analyzed through a newly optimized N-body microlensing analysis method, the Local HAE Caustic Modeling (LOHCAM). This method simultaneously solves for the size of the source and N-body HAE (High Amplification Events) ca...

[1] Back‐arc basin evolution is driven by processes active at the main subduction zone typically assuming the transition from an extensional back‐arc, during the retreat of a mature slab, to a contractional basin, during high‐strain collisional processes. Such a transition is observed in the Black Sea, where the accurate quantification of shortening effects is hampered by the kinematically uncl...
