The weakest specimens showed maximum compressive strengths ranging from 115 kN/m to 135 kN/m. The lowest load deformation response was observed for the Gf 9 specimen group, at 0.7 kN/mm. The strongest and stiffest results were observed for the 3-bag soil-filled specimen, with load deformation responses ranging from 8 kN/mm to 15 kN/mm, and compressive strength ranging from 1100 kN/m to 1300 kN/...

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) during fertilization in the pig. Since it has been reported that CaMKII is involved in the capacitation and acrosome reaction of spermatozoa, we tested whether supplementation with the CaMKII inhibitor, KN-93, in the fertilization medium affected sperm penetration. The results showed that ...

Learning and memory have been suggested to be important in the development of opiate addiction. Based on the recent findings that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is essential in learning and memory processes, and morphine treatment increases CaMKII activity in hippocampus, the present study was undertaken to examine whether inhibition of hippocampal CaMKII prevents morph...

For double arrays of constants {ani, 1 ≤ i ≤ kn, n ≥ 1} and sequences of negatively orthant dependent random variables {Xn, n ≥ 1}, the conditions for strong law of large number of ∑kn i=1 aniXi are given. Both cases kn ↑ ∞ and kn = ∞ are treated.

Let r(G,H) be the smallest integer N such that for any 2-coloring (say, red and blue) of the edges of Kn, n > N there is either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H . Let Kn − K1,s be the complete graph on n vertices from which the edges of K1,s are dropped. In this note we present exact values for r(Km −K1,1,Kn −K1,s) and new upper bounds for r(Km,Kn−K1,s) in numerous cases. We also present som...

Diameter of the 2 k-node Knn odel graph is d(k + 2)=2e:

Authors have previously shown that alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine (alpha-MPG) and sodium dipropylacetate (DPA) facilitate immunity as well as host-mediated anti-tumor activity. In this study, we found that a compound related to alpha-MPG and DPA, (2-n-propyl-n-pentanoyl)glycine (KN-539), inhibited the growth of E.L.4 lymphosarcoma transplanted in C57BL/6 mice and further investigated the anti-t...
