We have searched for redshifted neutral hydrogen 21 cm absorption toward sources from the Stickel et al. ““ red quasar ÏÏ subsample. The red quasar subsample is taken from the 1 Jy sample of Ñat-spectrum radio sources and is comprised of the 15 sources that are undetected on the POSS. Five of these red quasars have been searched for redshifted H I 21 cm absorption to optical depth levels of a f...

ATP-dependent proton pumps were found in the vesicles of microsomal membrane fractions of maize coleoptiles. Two membrane fractions isolated by density gradient centrifugation were identified by the aid of marker enzymes and electron microscopic analysis. Membrane fraction A largely consisted of vesicles of smooth ER and of the Golgi complex, fraction B predominantly of vesicles of plasmalemma ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of Cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) using MTT and neutral red assays. The crude aqueous extract of C. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on PC-3 cell line. Dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma PC...

Three Latin square trials, with 20 (two trials) or 24 (one trial) multiparous lactating Holstein cows (four in each trial with ruminal cannulae), compared the feeding value of red clover and alfalfa silages harvested over 3 yr. Overall, the forages contained similar amounts of neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber; however, red clover silage contained more hemicellulose, less ash and...

Here we examined species differences in perception and response to two distinct types of shade cue, reduced photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) with and without reduced red : far red ratio (R : FR), in Polygonum persicaria and Polygonum hydropiper, two closely related annuals of contrasting ecological breadth. We compared plasticity data for light-gathering traits from glasshouse experime...

PURPOSE To investigate whether low frequency pulsed magnetic field (PMF) exposures produce alterations in the cell killing induced by ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS MCF-7 breast cancer cells of exponentially growing cultures were exposed to PMF (25 Hz, 0.75 mT) and UVC (from 6.6 J/m2 to 59.4 J/m2) in two different protocols: (a) cells were exposed to PMF for 30 min and t...
