We have developed sediment-free anaerobic enrichment cultures that dechlorinate a broad spectrum of highly chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The cultures were developed from Aroclor 1260-contaminated sediment from the Housatonic River in Lenox, MA. Sediment slurries were primed with 2,6-dibromobiphenyl to stimulate Process N dechlorination (primarily meta dechlorination), and sedime...

Can one expect gamma rays rates from the QGP to be higher than from the hot hadronic gas phase? Xiong, Shuryak, Brown (XSB) calculate photon production from a hot hadronic gas via the reaction π+ρ → π−+γ. They assume that this reaction proceeds through the a1(1260). They also use their estimated a1 radiative width to calculate the pion polarizability; following a connection noted previously by ...

The monoclonal antibody (MoAb) MM4 reacts with human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and bone marrow from patients with plasma cell dyscrasias but not with normal peripheral blood or bone marrow cells. Treatment with MM4 and rabbit complement (C') was cytotoxic to the plasma cell-derived cell lines GM 1312, RPMI 8226, and ARH-77, as demonstrated by chromium release microcytotoxicity and trypan...

detected in these blank determinations that we were not certain whether it came from the Soluene or other sources. You may note that the blood of control rats which was analyzed with the use of Soluene did not contain detectable amounts of asbestos and zero fibers per gram was reported. We have since repeated this work (as yet unpublished) in an experiment in which asbestos was fed to rats and ...

The estrogenic isoflavones of soybeans and their glycosides are products of the shikimate pathway, the target pathway of glyphosate. This study tested the hypothesis that nonphytotoxic levels of glyphosate and other herbicides known to affect phenolic compound biosynthesis might influence levels of these nutraceutical compounds in glyphosate-resistant soybeans. The effects of glyphosate and oth...
