Reactions among the monoto polycyclic carbon clusters have been analyzed using semiempirical AM1 and HF/6-31G∗ methods. The C28 (D2) fullerene cage has been considered. Various precursors are chosen with the appropriate carbon belts. It is observed that the reactions between the precursors and the belts are essentially endoergic in nature, whereas the reactions between the stable intermediates ...

The turnabout and growth mechanisms of the ENSO are diagnostically studied by analyzing the SST budget of the Cane-Zebiak model. The SST change rates, which are directly linked to the phase transition and growth of the ENSO, are attributed to two processes: the anomalous vertical advection of subsurface temperature by the mean upwelling (thermocline feedback), and the zonal advection of the cli...

Zonal differences of DNA synthesis in hepatocytes induced by hepatocyte growth factor and/or scatter factor (HGF/SF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were investigated using male Wistar rats under fed or starved conditions. Overall, DNA synthesis was greater in fed rats than in starved rats. The predominance of EGF in periportal hepatocytes (PPH) on zonal DNA synthesis was reversed by starved ...

Fast and unplanned city growth, has effects such as isolation of village societies, threatening urbancores and centers and small and weak societies, destruction of open spaces and open and natural regions. Smart growthoffers a sustainable way for urban developing with appropriate use of available sources, increase of urban services,developing neighborhoods with different uses, making public tra...

We previously established a mast cell (MC)-dependent thermal injury model in mice with ulceration and scar formation that depended on nonredundant functions of mouse MC protease (mMCP)4 and mMCP5. We hypothesized that MC activation is an early event and now find by histology that exocytosis of granule contents occurred by 2 min after thermal injury in wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice and in the mMCP...

BMJ 1992;304:614 Road traffic accidents are the commonest cause of blunt maternal trauma in pregnancy.' In the United Kingdom it is compulsory for motorists and passengers to wear seat belts unless they have a medical exemption certificate. Some pregnant women find seat belts uncomfortable and do not wear them, others wear them incorrectly. We recently reported two cases showing the hazards to ...
