Thermally dependent development of soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica L.) were examined in growth chambers in spring 2005. Models based on ambient air temperatures for all development events were developed. Adjusted models were developed to account for heat units acquired because of solar radiation. These models were tested at field sites in Guelph...

A series of dinuclear Rh(II) complexes, [Rh(2)(μ-OAc)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (HOAc = acetic acid) (1), [Rh(2)(μ-gly)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (Hgly = glycolic acid) (2), [Rh(2)(μ-CF(3)CO(2))(4)(acetone)(2)] (3), and [Rh(2)(bpy)(2)(μ-OAc)(2)(OAc)(2)] (4), were found to serve as H(2)-evolving catalysts in a three-component system consisting of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)), methylviologen (MV(2...

By CARROLL L. SPURLING, M.D. , MILTON S. SACKS, M.D. , AND ELSA F. JAHN, B.S. W ITH clarification of the pathogenesis of erythroblastosis fetalis it became evident that ideal therapy should be directed either at preventing the formation of maternal Rh antibodies, or, if already present, their passage into the fetal circulation in harmful amounts. Early therapeutic attempts with these goals in m...

[Rh(CO)2Cl] 2 reacts with 1,3-diphenylcyclopentadienyl sodium or tetraphenylcyclopentadienyl sodium with formation of (l,3-P h2C5H3)Rh(CO ) 2 (1) or (C5HPh4)Rh(CO )2 (2), respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with PPh3 yields the corresponding carbonyl(cyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphane)rhodium complexes (l,3 -P h 2C5H3)Rh(CO)(PPh3) (3) or (C5HPh4)Rh(CO)(PPh3) (4). The 'H and ' C reported and ...

A cross sectional study among Al-Najaf province population related to blood group distribution showed that the ABO and Rh (D) blood groups distribution among 1628 young adult males 698 (42.9%) and females 930 (57.1%) from different locations in AlNajaf in Iraq. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture method. The blood was transferred into laboratory were tested for both the blood groups by...

Movement of the ligand/receptor complex in rhodopsin (Rh) has been traced. Bleaching of diazoketo rhodopsin (DK-Rh) containing 11-cis-3-diazo-4-oxo-retinal yields batho-, lumi-, meta-I-, and meta-II-Rh intermediates corresponding to those of native Rh but at lower temperatures. Photoaffinity labeling of DK-Rh and these bleaching intermediates shows that the ionone ring cross-links to tryptophan...

Human monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against the blood group Rh(D), (c), and (E) antigens produced by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines have been used to characterize the Rh components of human red cell membranes and to determine whether the Rh(D), (c), and (E) epitopes are carried by distinct polypeptides. After immunoprecipitation with the anti-Rh(D) antib...

The red cells of 63 members of 11 families were tested with (125)I-labeled anti-Rh(0)(D). Families with a history of hemolytic disease of the newborn due to fetomaternal Rh incompatibility were selected for study. In such families it was possible to determine the antibody binding to the Rh(0)(D) heterozygous red cells of the children and to compare within each family this value with the antibod...
