Inrat liver microsomal fractions oxidation of adrenaline was effected by superoxide anion radicals (A), whereas cytochrome c, 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol and ferricyanide accepted electrons from NADPH-specific filavoprotein only directly. Nitro Blue Tetrazolium was reduced both by 02and by tbe direct acceptance of electrons. Elevation ofpH and addition of menadione shift the Nitro Blue Tetraz...

Th is paper is the outcome of a bilateral Romanian-Austrian research project on new and innovative initiatives in rural development. It was the aim of the study to identify success factors of strategies applied and to verify their transferability. Th is article presents results related to the role of tourism in rural development in a comparative way focusing on the following main aspects: (1) t...

Th e research about the determinants of fi rms' performance has been a crucial question for managers, researchers and stockholders. Th e main objective of this exploratory paper is to study the economic drivers of revenue per available room (RevPAR) in the Portuguese hotels. Th is study examines the local and global factors driving RevPAR in diff erent hotel segments, calculating how much of th...

We present radio maps of the head-tail radio galaxy, 3C 129 at 240 and 610 MHz using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. We have studied in detail the morphology of the source and the distribution of spectral index over the object. We find large-scale spectral steepening along the jet away from the core. Using synchrotron spectral ageing theory, we infer the age (time since particle accelerati...

In the healthy brain, less than 5% of α-synuclein (α-syn) is phosphorylated at serine 129 (Ser(P)-129). However, within Parkinson disease (PD) Lewy bodies, 89% of α-syn is Ser(P)-129. The effects of Ser(P)-129 modification on α-syn distribution and solubility are poorly understood. As α-syn normally exists in both membrane-bound and cytosolic compartments, we examined the binding and dissociati...
