DtmING A STUDY concerning the role of vitamin B1, in diabetes (1), it was noted that a number of cases in this study failed to excrete more than 10 gig. of a 50Lg. intramuscular load dose of the vitamin. All of these patients had a history of liver disease or some form of hepatic insufficiency. The storage of vitamin B1, by the liver has been studied extensively by Meyer et at. (2) and by Glass...

Let G be a graph, u be a vertex of G, and B(u)(or BG(u)) be the set of u with all its neighbors in G. A sequence (B1, B2, ..., Bn) of subsets of an n-set S is a neighborhood sequence if there exists a graph G with a vertex set S and a permutation (v1, v2, ..., vn) of S such that B(vi) = Bi for i = 1, 2, ..., n. Define Aut(B1, B2, ..., Bn) as the set {f : f is a permutation of V (G) and (f(B1), ...

Purpose: To show the effect and the increased scan efficiency offered by DREAM-based B1 + shimming in fast whole body fat/water imaging at 3T. Introduction: High field whole-body imaging is a promising technique for quantitative MRI. However, at 3T and above, wave propagation effects can have serious effects on RF field homogeneity (B1 ). This results in spatially varying image contrast and SNR...

Monoclonal antibodies specific for aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin M1, and the major aflatoxin-DNA adducts were obtained following fusion of mouse SP-2 myeloma cells with spleen cells of mice immunized with aflatoxin B1 covalently bound to bovine gamma globulin. The aflatoxin-modified protein used to immunize mice was produced chemically by activating aflatoxin B1 to a 2,3-epoxide derivat...

The scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) is an important HDL receptor involved in cholesterol uptake and efflux, but its physiological role in human lipoprotein metabolism is not fully understood. Heterozygous carriers of the SR-B1(P297S) mutation are characterized by increased HDL cholesterol levels, impaired cholesterol efflux from macrophages and attenuated adrenal function. Here, the c...

Ionospheric scintillation could seriously disrupt the signal tracking of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), further causing positioning accuracy degradation or unavailability. BeiDou system (BDS), a newly developed GNSS by China, has begun to provide positioning, navigation, and timing service. The objective present study is investigate effects ionospheric on BDS-2 BDS-3 multi-frequenc...

In this work, the grafting of maleic anhydride onto two types of linear low density polyethylene with hexene-1 comonomer (LLDPE-H1) and butene-1 comonomer (LLDPE-B1), in the presence of styrene monomer (St) and dicumyl peroxide initiator (DCP) has been studied. The combined influences of MAH, St and DCP on the grafting efficiency via a melt reactive mixing process have been investigated using r...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While it has been widely reported that the vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is prevented/reversed by endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists selective for the ET(A) receptor and by nonselective ET receptor antagonists, ie, antagonists of both the ET(A) and ET(B) receptors, there are no reports on the possible attenuation of the spasm by selective ET(B) recep...

Barnard's Loop is a famous arc of H$\alpha$ emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence possible formation mechanism for and compare our results with recent work suggesting major feedback event occurred region around 6 Myr ago. We present 3D model large-scale region, indicating coherent, radial, expansion OBP-Near/Brice\~{n}o-1 (OBP-B1) cluster middle large dust...
