The influence of organic matter chemistry on the sorption of diuron to soils collected from a small field (2 ha) was investigated. Organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficients (K ), determined by batch OC sorption, varied between 405 and 598 L kg amongst 10 A11 horizons and between 547 and 975 L kg amongst 1 1 10 matching A12 horizons. In all cases K was greater for the A12 horizon than the ...

Some amyloid-forming polypeptides are associated with devastating human diseases and others provide important biological functions. For both, oligomeric intermediates appear during amyloid assembly. Currently we have few tools for characterizing these conformationally labile intermediates and discerning what governs their benign versus toxic states. Here, we examine intermediates in the assembl...

Although HLA-A3 and A11 have been reported to be ligands for KIR3DL2, evidence for any in vivo relevance of this interaction is still missing. To explore the functional importance of KIR3DL2 allelic variation, we analyzed the autoimmune disease pemphigus foliaceus, previously associated (lower risk) with activating KIR genes. KIR3DL2*001 was increased in patients (odds ratio (OR) = 2.04; p = 0....

This file contains a revised version of the proofs Theorems 3 and 4 paper [1]. In particular, more correct argument is employed to obtain inequality (A11) from (A10), provided that stronger hypothesis on sequence $$\{\varepsilon _k\}$$ included. The practical implementation algorithm (Section 3) remains as it all numerical experiments 4) are still valid since was already satisfied by selected s...
