To determine whether alterations in the "reverse" or "conversion" pathway for putrescine formation were involved in the induction of colonic tumors by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, male albino rats of the Sherman strain were given injections s.c. of this agent (20 mg/kg body weight/week) or diluent for 5, 10, 15, and/or 26 weeks. Animals were sacrificed at each of these time periods and polyamine leve...

BACKGROUND To investigate the prognostic factors in surgically managed patients with stage II non-small cell lung cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of clinical data of surgically managed 93 patients with stage II non-small cell lung cancer in our hospital between May 2005 and November 2009 was conducted, and prognostic factors that may impact the postoperative 5-year survi...

Operator-Schmidt decompositions of the quantum Fourier transform on C N1 ⊗ C N2 are computed for all N1,N2 ≥ 2. The decomposition is shown to be completely degenerate when N1 is a factor of N2 and when N1 > N2. The first known special case, N1 = N2 = 2 , was computed by Nielsen in his study of the communication cost of computing the quantum Fourier transform of a collection of qubits equally di...

Hens were vaccinated during the rearing phase with infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccines commercially available in Australia (Vic S and A3) or left unvaccinated and then challenged with the N1/88 strain of IBV at 30 wk of age. Oviduct and fecal samples were collected at regular intervals after N1/88 challenge. A locked nucleic acid probe-based reverse transcription real-time PCR test was d...

Little is known about the effect of management practices on net global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) that account for all sources and sinks of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dryland cropping systems. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of a combination of tillage, cropping system, and N fertilization on GWP and GHGI under dryland cropping syste...

The identification of nicotinamide-N1-oxide as a metabolite in the urine of a schizophrenic patient prompted a study of the relative metabolism of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide in mental patients and healthy volunteers. Metabolites quantified included N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide, N1-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide, N1-methylnicotinamide, nicotinuric acid, and nicotinamide-N1-oxide. Mor...

The aim of this study was to construct the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-hPer2 and assess its expression in the human osteosarcoma cell line MG63. Total mRNA was extracted from human osteosarcoma MG63 cells, the human period 2 (hPer2) gene was obtained by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cloned into the pEGFP-N1 vector, then the recombinant pEGFP-N1-hPer2 pla...

A novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquid namely N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium trifluoroacetate {[TMBSED][TFA]2} was synthesized, and characterized by studying its1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR and mass spectral data. Afterward, the ionic liquid was applied ascatalyst for the production of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via the one-pot multi-componentreaction of arylaldehyde...

We consider the random hyperbolic graph model introduced by [KPK+10] and then formalized [GPP12]. show that, in subcritical case α>1, size of largest component is asymptotically almost surely n1∕(2α)+o(1), thus strengthening a result [BFM15] which gave only an upper bound n1∕α+o(1).
