The effects of i.c.v. injection of AIDA, a group I mGluR antagonist, were studied on the nigral DA cells after MPTP-induced injury in the black mouse, using TH immunocytochemistry and unbiased stereology. MPTP reduced the total number of TH-IR neurons by 55.2% and non-TH-IR neurons by 27.5%. A 15 min AIDA pre-treatment (10 nmol) selectively counteracted the loss of TH-IR cells caused by MPTP as...

The effect of some agonists and antagonists of glutamatergic receptors (GluR) on neuropeptide Y (NPY) level in the rat hippocampus was investigated using radioimmunoassay method. The compounds were injected intraperitoneally (NMDA, ACPC and MPEP) or intrahippocampally (L-CCG, L-SOP, AIDA). It was found that NMDA induced a decrease in NPY-IR in the hippocampus. No significant changes were found ...

To advance the Web of Linked Data, mapping ambiguous names in structured and unstructured contents onto knowledge bases would be a vital asset. State-of-the-art methods for Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) face major tradeoffs regarding efficiency/scalability vs. accuracy. Fast methods use relatively simple context features and avoid computationally expensive algorithms for joint inference. Wh...

The self-associating autotransporters (SAATs) are multifunctional secreted proteins of Escherichia coli, comprising the AIDA-I, TibA and Ag43 proteins. One of their characteristics is that they can be glycosylated. Glycosylation of AIDA-I and Ag43 have been investigated, but not that of TibA. It is still not clear whether glycosylation of the SAATs affect their structure or their functionality....

We generalise the cube attack of Dinur and Shamir (and the similar AIDA attack of Vielhaber) to a more general higher order differentiation attack, by summing over an arbitrary subspace of the space of initialisation vectors. The Moebius transform can be used for efficiently examining all the subspaces of a big space, similar to the method used by Fouque and Vannet for the usual cube attack. Se...

(R)-Proline catalyzes the amination reaction of functionalized indane carboxaldehydes and allows for the efficient enantioselective synthesis (>99% ee) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor ligands (S)-AIDA and (S)-APICA. [reaction: see text]

در بررسی­های فونستیک سال 2011 دامنه جنوبی رشته کوه­های زاگرس ایران، یک نمونه ماده از گونه Amphipyra kautti Hacker, 2002 متعلق به خانواده Noctuidae و زیرخانواده Amphipyrinae مناطق کوهستانی استان کهگیلویه بویراحمد جمع­ آوری شناسایی شد. این که برای اولین بار ایران گزارش می­شود، همراه با ویژگی­های افتراقی، تصویر الگوی بال اندام تناسلی شده ارائه است. اطلاعات مربوط دیگر همین جنس مطالعه نیز
