Developing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers, cultured in vitro with their associated ovules, were used to compare the effects of two herbicides that inhibit cellulose synthesis: 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB) and an experimental thiatriazinebased herbicide, CGA 3259615. CGA 3259615 in nanomolar concentrations or DCB in micromolar concentrations causes inhibition of synthesis of crystalline ce...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neuronal Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger plays a relevant role in maintaining intracellular Ca(2+) and Na(+) levels under physiological and pathological conditions. However, the role of this exchanger in excitotoxicity and ischemia-induced neuronal injury is still controversial and has never been studied in the same neuronal subtypes. METHODS We investigated the effects of bepri...

This is a post-hoc analysis of the results Lutonix AV Global Registry (outside United Sates) focusing exclusively on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) with inclusion criteria consistent to those IDE trial from States. Device under investigation was drug-coated balloon (DCB). 131 320 subjects met for in analysis. 59.5% (78/131) were male. 50.5% white and 45.7% Asian population. Among exploratory out...

This paper investigates the role of material properties on crack path selection in adhesively bonded joints. First, a parametric study of directionally unstable crack propagation in adhesively bonded double cantilever beam specimens (DCB) is presented. The alternating crack trajectories in specimens of various material systems are simulated using the finite element method and the results indica...

Caspase activation has been shown to be a critical step in several models of neuronal apoptosis such as staurosporine treatment of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and potassium deprivation of rat cerebellar granule neurons. One common event is the appearance of caspase-mediated 120-kDa nonerythroid alpha-spectrin breakdown product (SBDP120). Second, inhibitors of the caspase family are effect...

BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) broadcasts multifrequency signals that offer more choices of frequencies and signal combinations for positioning. This paper analyzes the effect timing group delay (TGD) differential code bias (DCB) BDS-3 on corresponding triple-frequency The observation models are summarized DCB correction derived four different frequency ionospheric-free (IF) ...

The successful in situ synthesis of metallophthalocyanines in mesoporous matrices is presented in this report. To overcome the high hydrophobicity of phthalocyanine (Pc) compounds in conventional wet chemical methods, a simple but effective route is developed to incorporate the metallophthalocyanines into the mesoporous matrix via an in situ reaction process between pre-loaded metal ions and 1,...

We present a non-dimensional analytical model for crack propagation in a z-pinned double cantilever beam specimen (DCB) under mode I loading. Effect of various design parameters on the crack bridging length and apparent fracture toughness are investigated using this model. The efficacy of the analytical model is evaluated by comparing the results with 3D finite element (FE) simulations of the D...

A new series of 12 complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with N-isonicotinamido-2',4'-dichlorobenzalaldimine (INH-DCB) with the general composition MX(2) . n(INH-DCB) [M = Co(II) or Ni(II), X = Cl(-) ,Br(-), NO(3) (-), NCS(-), or CH(3)COO(-), n = 2; X = ClO(4) (-), n = 3] have been synthesized. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental anal...
