A sensitive immunoassay procedure for the detection of the thrombopoietic-stimulating factor (TSF) has been developed. This procedure Is similar to the hemagglutination-inhibition (HAl) technique that is available for erythropoietin. For the production of TSF, sheep were made thrombocytopenic by the Injection of antiplatelet serum. TSF from sheep sera was partially purified by column chromatogr...

The addition of adrenaline to solutions of etidocaine or lignocaine for extradural administration resulted in significantly lower plasma koncentrations in both the arterial blood (14% decrease for etidocaine and 43% decrease for lignocaine) and venous blood (35% and 60% decreases for etidocaine and lignocaine respectively). The nett absorption over the first 4 h after administration, measured f...

In this study, the effect of grain boundary on frictional behavior under oil-lubricated condition was investigated by varying size (crystallite size) pure Fe samples prepared via physical vapor deposition. A high fraction in sample yielded a low friction coefficient μ case lubrication oil that formed chemisorbed film surface material. Thick absorbed layer observed only with boundary. These resu...

Considering heart as a unique organ that regulates blood flow, Ayurveda places specific emphasis on protecting the from numerous conditions might lead to development of various illnesses. It emphasizes need avoiding stress and promoting diet helps in boosting health. The role failure with low ejection fraction is discussed this paper. Low fraction, often known EF, occurs when your goes below 55...

Designs of CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) activities should be flexible, effective and customizable to particular learning situations. On the other hand, structured designs aim to create favourable conditions for learning. Thus, this paper proposes the collection of representative and broadly accepted (best practices) structuring techniques in collaborative learning. With the ...

The lipolytic hypothesis of fat absorption advocated by Verzar and McDougall7 in 1936 maintains: that ingested fat undergoes emulsification to soap and complete hydrolysis to fatty acid and glycerol in the small intestine; that a solid pavement epithelial structure exists on the intestinal mucosal cells; that the fatty acids pass through the membrane as soluble complexes with bile salts, while ...

Of seven plant viruses tested, all except tobacco mosaic showed the phenomenon of photoreactivation, i.e. plants exposed to visible light after inoculation with preparations partially inactivated by ultraviolet radiation produced more local lesions than plants kept in darkness. Five straiIis of tobacco mosaic virus, which differed widely in their pathogenicity and other properties, were tested,...
