The avidin-biotin interaction permits rapid and nearly irreversible noncovalent linkage between biotinylated molecules and avidin-modified substrates. We designed a biotinylated radioligand intended for use in the detection of avidin-modified polymer nanoparticles in tissue with positron emission tomography (PET). Using an F-18 labeled prosthetic group, [(18)F]4-fluorobenzylamine, and a commerc...

A number of polyacrylamide gel systems and solubilization procedures were studied to define the number and nature of "major" polypeptide bands in the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It was shown that five of the eight major outer membrane proteins were "heat modifiable" in that their mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was determined by the solubiliza...

Introduction: Fluoride (F) and its compounds are widely used in industries in which fluoride overdose leads to various detrimental diseases. In this study the effect of NaOH-modified Eucalyptus leaves on fluoride removal from aqueous solutions as a natural adsorbent was investigated. Materials and Methods: The focus of this study was on the effects of parameters such as pH (2-12), initial conc...

Given an L1 -computable function, f , we identify a canonical representative of the equivalence class of f , where f and g are equivalent if and only if ∫ |f − g| is zero. Using this representative, we prove a modified version of the Lebesgue Differentiation Theorem. Our theorem is stated in terms of Martin-Löf random points in Euclidean space. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 03D80 (pri...

For a Hausdorff zero-dimensional topological space X and totally ordered field F with interval topology, let $$C_c(X,F)$$ be the ring of all F-valued continuous functions on countable range. It is proved that if either an uncountable or subfield $${\mathbb {R}}$$ , then structure $$\beta _0X$$ Banaschewski Compactification X. The ideals $$\{O^{p,F}_c:p\in \beta _0X\}$$ in are introduced as modi...

It is known that, for a transcendental entire function f, the Hausdorff dimension of J( f ) satisfies 1% dim J( f )% 2. For each d ` (1, 2), an example of a transcendental entire function f with dim J( f ) ̄ d is given. It is then indicated how this function can be modified to produce a transcendental meromorphic function F with one pole with dim J(F ) ̄ d. These appear to be the first examples o...
