The bystander effect describes radiation-induced biological effects in nonirradiated cells that have received signals from irradiated cells. In a co-culture experiment, the bystander signaling is proposed to occur via the medium. Using a co-culture setup, the work in this thesis investigates the effects of temperature as an experimental parameter and linear energy transfer (LET) dependence on t...

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was found to be a rapid, specific method for detecting circulating antibodies to Legionella pneumophila, the aetiologic agent of Legionnaires' disease in human sera. Optimum conditions for performing the test are given. Better precipitin lines are observed when the gel support is neutral, and a result may be obtained in 90 to 180 minutes. Comparison of results...

This paper studies the synthesis and the design of methanol recovery system for TAME reactive distillation process using extraction column with water as a solvent. The design of the extraction column system has not been studied in the literature. The effect of operating conditions such as solvent flowrate, extraction column temperature, and number of equilibrium trays are studied. It is found t...

Various pulses are a good source of β-Amylase and this enzyme could find promising application of hydrolysis of starch. Hydrolysis of starch by β-amylases has couple of food and pharmaceutical applications. In the present work, β-Amylases from a variety of germinating pulses (Vigna radiata, Cicer arietinum (black), Vigna mungo, Glycine max, Cicer arietinum(white) were extracted and characterize...

The interaction of the chaperonin GroEL14 with its cochaperonin GroES7 is dynamic, involving stable, asymmetric 1:1 complexes (GroES7.GroEL7-GroEL7) and transient, metastable symmetric 2:1 complexes [GroES7.GroEL7-GroEL7.GroES7]. The transient formation of a 2:1 complex permits exchange of free GroES7 for GroES7 bound in the stable 1:1 complex. Electrophoresis in the presence of ADP was used to...

A counterflow virtual impactor was used to collect residual particles larger than about 0.1μm diameter from anvil cirrus clouds generated over Florida in the southern United States. A wide variety of particle types were found. About one-third of the nuclei were salts, with varying amounts of crustal material, industrial metals, carbonaceous particles, and sulfates. Ambient aerosol particles nea...

Bortezomib is a drug used in the treatment of myeloma multiple. The experiments carried out demonstrate that bortezomib is cytotoxic for different types of neoplastic cells and reduces the tumor-like growth “in vivo” in many preclinical models of tumor, including myeloma multiple. In a recent study, was evaluated the effectiveness and security of the subcutaneous administration of bortezomib as...
