Human thioredoxin (Trx) is a 12-kD protein known to be involved in various reduction/oxidation reactions essential for cell growth and cellular injury repair. We previously demonstrated, based on nuclear run-on assay, that retinoic acid (RA) stimulated Trx gene expression in airway epithelial cells at the transcriptional level. Nucleotide sequencing of the 5'-flanking region of the human Trx ge...

701 PREVIOUS STUDIES FROM THIS LABORATORY HAVE BROUGHT FORTH EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT IMBALANCES BETWEEN CAROTID AND VERTEBRAL blood flow and temperature underlie the increase in preoptichypothalamic temperature during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in several mammalian species.1 Particularly relevant to the mechanism of such a temperature increase are the effects on preoptic-hypothalamic tempe...

Chemoresistance is a major hurdle in the management of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and is responsible for its high mortality. Studies have shown that chemoresistance is due to the presence of a subgroup of cancer cells with stemness properties and a high capacity for tumor repair. We have developed a library of super-benzopyran analogues to generate potent compounds that can induce ...

ness and Temporal Extension: As abstract concepts we regard all those entities the denotation of which we cannot touch with our hands and which are not part or a collection of entities which can be touched. Stones, scree and atoms are concrete, ideas and good are not. Adjectives derived from concrete nouns (e.g. stony) are coded as concrete in their literal meaning since they inherit the refere...

Catalase (H202: H202 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.6) is a heme-containing enzyme that converts H202 into oxygen and water. In plants, catalase is involved in scavenging H202, which is generated during the course of photorespiration and P-oxidation of fatty acids. It also plays an important role in detoxification of active oxygen species that are generated by various environmental stresses (Scandal...

The FAA currently uses its Automated Flight Inspection System (AFIS) to check the accuracy of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and other navaids. It is desirable to measure the deviations of the ILS to within 0.015 degree accuracy. Therefore, a flight inspection system requires a high level of accuracy in determining position which is computed by a Flight Inspection Truth System (FITS). The AFI...
