Four dots in an imaginary diamond were flashed in succession to give ambiguous apparent motion (AM). The top and bottom dots were flashed at time t, and replaced by the left and right dots at time t,. If two priming dots were gashed beforehand at time r0 in line with two parallel sides of the diamond, AM was seen along those sides. We call this “visual inertia”. The amount of visual inertia (me...

Glycoproteins were extracted from membranes of erythrocytes that displayed Tn polyagglutination and were compared chemically and immunologically with glycoproteins of group O, MN cells. Tn glycoprotein had lower than normal NANA : protein and sugar : protein ratios, as revealed by direct analysis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and displayed slower immunoelectrophoretic mobility than gl...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although serum tenascin-C (TN-C) levels are related to left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with myocardial infarction and are useful as a prognostic biomarker of heart failure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, the clinical significance of TN-C levels has not yet been studied in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Therefore, the purpose of this...

Nitrogen components of yoghurt milk samples and resulting probiotic set yoghurt weredetermined. Analyses included total nitrogen (TN), non-casein nitrogen (NCN), non-proteinnitrogen (NPN), casein nitrogen (CN) and proteolysis index (PI). Yoghurt samples wereanalyzed 1, 7, 14 and 21days after production and storage at 5±1°C. TN, CN and PI contentsof yoghurt milk samples with high Somatic Cell SC...

The number Nn of non-crossing trees of size n satis/es Nn+1 = Tn where Tn enumerates ternary trees of size n. We construct a new bijection to establish that fact. Since Tn =(1=(2n+ 1))( 3n n ), it follows that 3(3n− 1)(3n− 2)Tn−1 = 2n(2n+ 1)Tn. We construct two bijections “explaining” this recursion; one of them easily extends to the case of t-ary trees. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All right...

By sequencing cDNA clones which cover the complete coding region of human tenascin (TN), we have established its primary structure. This confirms that, as in the case of chicken, TN is mainly made up of three groups of sequences with a high homology to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) fibronectin (FN) type III repeat and fibrinogen. Furthermore, we have determined the amino-terminal sequence of th...
