A bstract It has been recently realized that, in the case of polynomial potentials, exact WKB method can be reformulated terms a system TBA equations. In this paper we study various examples. We develop graphical procedure due to Toledo, which provides fast and simple way wall-crossing behavior When complemented with quantization conditions, equations used solve spectral problems exactly Quantu...

The performance or quality of the Virgin coconut oil (VCO) during continuous/prolonged deep fat frying of soaked bengal gram dhal was evaluated at 180 °C ± 5 °C for 8 h with the help of physico-chemical and rheological parameters. Chemical changes indicated that the free fatty acid (FFA) content and TBA increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from 0.11 to 0.98 % lauric acid and 0.06 to 0.61 malonald...

Tissue composition and skeletal muscle cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5) activity were measured in wether lambs treated with trenbolone acetate (TBA) and oestradiol-17 beta (Oe) in combination and female lambs treated with TBA or zeranol. Muscle and liver protein fractional synthesis rates and plasma leucine flux were measured in the female lambs. Male castrate lambs treated with TBA plus Oe showed inc...

Aptamers are structured oligonucleotides that recognize molecular targets and can function as direct protein inhibitors. The best-known example is the thrombin-binding aptamer, TBA, a single-stranded 15-mer DNA that inhibits the activity of thrombin, the key enzyme of coagulation cascade. TBA folds as a G-quadruplex structure, as proved by its NMR structure. The X-ray structure of the complex b...

The thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA), which shows anticoagulant properties, is one of the most studied G-quadruplex-forming aptamers. In this study, we investigated the impact of different chemical modifications such as a three-carbon spacer (spacer-C3 ), unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) and 3'-amino-modified UNA (amino-UNA) on the structural dynamics and stability of TBA. All three modifications were...

The C. elegans zygote supports both meiosis and mitosis within a common cytoplasm. The meiotic spindle is small and is located anteriorly, whereas the first mitotic spindle fills the zygote. The C. elegans microtubule-severing complex, katanin, is encoded by the mei-1 and mei-2 genes and is solely required for oocyte meiotic spindle formation; ectopic mitotic katanin activity disrupts mitotic s...

BACKGROUND The production of protein drugs has recently increased due to advances in biotechnology, but their clinical use is generally limited to parenteral administration due to low absorption in non-parenteral administration. Therefore, non-parenteral delivery systems allowing sufficient absorption draw much attention. METHODS Microparticles (MP) were prepared using chitosan-4-thio-butylam...

BACKGROUND In developing countries, most childbirth occurs at home and is not assisted by skilled attendants. This situation increases the risk of death for both mother and child and has severe maternal and neonatal health complications. The purpose of this study was to explore pregnant women's perceptions and utilization of traditional birth attendant (TBA) services in a rural Local Government...
