Caenorhabditis elegans spermatid formation involves asymmetric partitioning of cytoplasm during the second meiotic division. This process is mediated by specialized ER/Golgi-derived fibrous body-membranous organelles (FB-MOs), which have a fibrous body (FB) composed of bundled major sperm protein filaments and a vesicular membranous organelle (MO). spe-39 mutant spermatocytes complete meiosis b...

Two concentration methods for fast and routine determination of caffeine (using HPLC-UV detection) in surface, and wastewater are evaluated. Both methods are based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) concentration with octadecyl silica sorbents. A common “offline” SPE procedure shows that quantitative recovery of caffeine is obtained with 2mL of an elution mixture solvent methanolwater containing a...

Investigations on the semantic priming effect (SPE) in patients after left hemisphere (LH) lesions have shown disparities that may be explained by the variability in performance found among patients. The aim of the present study was to verify the existence of subgroups of patients after LH stroke by searching for dissociations between performance on the lexical decision task based on the semant...

This article reviews the recent developments in Bio-Analytical sample preparation techniques and gives an update on basic principles, Applications and comparative discussion on the advantages and limitations of each technique. Conventional Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), Molecularly Imprinted Polymer SPE techniques are have been considered as methods of past. Developments in SPE techniques such a...

The effects of various growth conditions on the production of streptococcal erythrogenic toxin B (streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B [SPE B]) by Streptococcus pyogenes were analyzed. SPE B was detected in broth culture supernatant fluid only during the stationary phase of growth when glucose and other potential carbon sources were depleted from the medium. Additionally, SPE B production was inh...

Statistical post-editing (SPE) techniques have been successfully applied to the output of Rule Based MT (RBMT) systems. In this paper we investigate the impact of SPE on a standard Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (PB-SMT) system, using PB-SMT both for the first-stage MT and the second stage SPE system. Our results show that, while a naive approach to using SPE in a PB-SMT pipeline ...

Excessive ethanol intake is known to induce a number of physiological symptoms, including headache, dizziness and vertigo. In this study, we investigated the attenuation effect of sprouted peanut extract (SPE) on ethanol-induced hangover in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into five groups: the control group, which was administered ethanol only; the ethanol plus SPE experiment...

Objective: To observe the variation of T lymphocyte subsets and human histocompatibility antigen (HLA-DR) in peripheral blood of patients with severe preeclampsia(SPE). Method: Peripheral blood from 30 patients with SPE (SPE group), 30 healthy pregnant women (healthy pregnant group) and 18 healthy un-pregnant women (healthy un-pregnant group) was a collected.The percentage of CD4T, CD8T and HLA...
