Raman scattering measurements were performed on the ferroelastic compound Rb(4)LiH(3)(SO(4))(4) to determine the nature of the structural transition observed at T(c) = 134 K. A double-grating spectrometer was used to obtain the Raman active B modes of Rb(4)LiH(3)(SO(4))(4). Back-scattering measurements, as a function of temperature, reveal that the 31  cm(-1) mode shows softening consistent wit...

The top quark is well known for the nondecoupling effects it implies in ρ and Rb. The recent experimental Rb data exhibits a disagreement with the SM prediction at more than the 3σ level. It is tempting to explore whether this might be due to nondecoupling New Physics effect, opposite to those of the top. We investigate this issue in the context of models with an extra family of right or left h...

BACKGROUND We quantified myocardial blood flow with (82)Rb PET using parameters of the generalized Renkin-Crone model estimated from (82)Rb and (15)O-water images reconstructed with time-of-flight and point spread function modeling. Previous estimates of rubidium extraction have used older-generation scanners without time-of-flight or point spread function modeling. We validated image-derived i...

This essay looks at the historical significance of two APS classic papers that are freely available online: Gollnick PD, Armstrong RB, Saubert CW IV, Piehl K, and Saltin B. Enzyme activity and fiber composition in skeletal muscle of untrained and trained men. J Appl Physiol 33: 312–319, 1972 (http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/33/3/312).

Raw bentonite (RB), a known low-cost versatile clay was used as an adsorbent. RB was treated thermally and chemically to increase its adsorption capacity. For thermal treatment (TTB), the bentonite was heated at 400 °C for 60 min, and for the chemical modification, its surface was treated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to prepare organo-modified bentonite (CTAB-B). The removal of Cong...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Rb(C(7)H(3)N(2)O(7))](n), comprises an Rb(+) cation and a 3,5-dinitro-salicylate ligand. The Rb(+) cation is 10-coordinated by O atoms from eight 3,5-dinitro-salicylate anions and is linked by three μ(2)-O atoms, forming a zigzag chain along the b-axis direction, which is further linked by the phenyl groups, giving the three-dimensional framework. The...

Three simple and sensitive methods were developed for the determination of a mixture of Rabeprazole sodium RB and Domperidone DP without prior separation. The first method A, isoabsorptive point comprised of measurement the total content of the mixture at their isoabsorptive point, while the content of RB was determined by measuring the first order derivative of its spectra at 231 nm, and the c...

Cyclins, TFIIB and RB play major roles in cell cycle and/or gene regulation. Earlier work has suggested common ancestry for the TFIIB repeats and RB pocket B which share 20% sequence identity. We now report that database searches with profiles based on a multiple alignment of cyclin core regions (the 'cyclin box') detect the TFIIB repeats with equivalent scores to divergent cyclins. Several fea...

Cross-linking the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) to surface Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) inhibits G1-to-S progression; the mechanism by which this occurs is not completely known. We investigated the regulation of three key cell cycle regulatory components by BCR-Fc gamma R co-cross-linking: G1-cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), and the retinoblastoma gene product (Rb). Rb functions to sup...

Deregulation of the p16(INK4a)-Cdk4/6-Rb pathway is commonly detected in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and is a rational therapeutic target. Here, we characterized the p16(INK4a)-Cdk4/6-Rb pathway in the Mayo panel of GBM xenografts, established from primary tissue samples from patients with GBM, and evaluated their response to PD0332991, a specific inhibitor of Cdk4/6. All GBM xe...
