We give a classification of the p-local stable homotopy type of BG , where G is a finite group, in purely algebraic terms. BG is determined by conjugacy classes of homomorphisms from p-groups into G . This classification greatly simplifies if G has a normal Sylow p-subgroup; the stable homotopy types then depends only on the Weyl group of the Sylow p-subgroup. If G is cyclic mod p then BG deter...

(REE,Y) phosphates were synthesized in a 1 atm furnace by ß ux-growth methods involving Pb-free ß uxes. Microcrystalline (REE,Y) phosphate was precipitated from a solution of (REE,Y) chlorides or nitrates plus ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and mixed with a M2CO3 (M = Li or Na)-MoO3 ß ux (75:25:2 molar ratio M2CO3:MoO3:REEPO4). Crystal growth was achieved over the temperature range 1350–870 °C,...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from a cell-mediated autoimmune attack against pancreatic ß-cells. Traditional treatments involve numerous daily insulin dosages/injections and rigorous glucose control. Many efforts toward the identification of ß-cell precursors have been made not only with the aim of understanding the physiology of islet regeneration, but also as an alternative way to produce ...

BACKGROUND Medical staff's influence on patient outcomes has become a subject of interest. We evaluated experienced midwives and compared their performance concerning perineal lacerations (PL). METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, 1937 women with singleton pregnancies who had delivered spontaneously with a cephalic presentation by experienced midwives in the Medical University of Vienna f...

Introduction The Lathyrus/lathyrism challenge is broad-based by its nature and requires multi-disciplinary efforts of specialists in the field of epidemiology, neurology, biochemistry, chemistry, nutrition, and agronomy. The role of chemists is in systematic determination of minor natural products in L. sativus seeds so that the sole responsibility of ß-ODAP for neurolathyrism is ascertained . ...

Therapy in nuclear medicine practice has a long distinguished history. Nuclear medicine therapy is required to be highly specific and targeted, since it always involves administration of unsealed sources of radioactivity. Most therapy agents utilize ß-particle emissions for their ability to penetrate tissues. This deposition of energy in tissue by ß emitters results in cellular damage. Among th...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) and ß-thalassemia represent the most common hemoglobinopathies caused, respectively, by the alteration of structural features or deficient production of the ß-chain of the Hb molecule. Other hemoglobinopathies are characterized by different mutations in the α- or ß-globin genes and are associated with anemia and might require periodic or chronic blood transfusions. The...

Histone methylation plays a crucial role in various biological and pathological processes including cancer development. In this study, we discovered that JARID2, an interacting component of Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) that catalyzes methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27), was involved in Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-ß)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of ...

the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of esbl-producing e. coli in agricultural fields of gorgan district, golestan province. soil samples were collected from 20 agricultural fields, half of them treated with chemical fertilizers and the rest with bovine manure. two samples, from surface and a depth of 15cm, were taken. after enrichment and culture onto macconkey agar, pink colored...
