The theory on the ultrasonic absorption of electrolyte solutions we have proposed previously [T. Yamaguchi et al., J. Chem. Phys. 126, 144505 (2007)] is extended to calculate the frequency-dependent electric conductivity of the solution. The ionic contribution of the dielectric relaxation spectrum is obtained at the same time. The theory is able to handle the contributions of both the ion-pair ...

The transcription factor p73 triggers developmental pathways and overlaps stress-induced p53 transcriptional pathways. How p53-family response elements determine and regulate transcriptional specificity remains an unsolved problem. In this work, we have determined the first crystal structures of p73 DNA-binding domain tetramer bound to response elements with spacers of different length. The str...

We show numerically the existence and stability at coincidence of the nondilute, multi-instanton pair configuration in the (1+0)-dimensional, double well model, defined according to a theory presented elsewhere [1]. This follows up an earlier proof that the multi-instanton pair is an effective critical point of the classical action if it exists, and is stable if it is unique [2]. We do not prov...

in this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (f¯, cl¯ and br¯) and ion pairs (na+f¯, na+cl¯ and na+br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (cp) composed of l-proline have been performed in the gas phase. in order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the cp and ions, dft-d3 calculations at the m05-2x-d3/6-31g(d) level was employed. based on t...

pair and small group work is infrequently welcomed in english as a foreign language (efl) classes under the assumption that students tend to use their first language (l1), which is considered detrimental to learning the new language. from sociocultural perspective, however, students’ first language is claimed to play the role of an important psychological tool and can facilitate the learning pr...

a simple extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of miconazole nitratein both pure and pharmaceutical preparation. the method is based on the formation of ion-pair complex of thedrug with acidic dye bromothymol blue (btb) in acidic condition, followed by its extraction in organic solvent(chloroform). the absorbance was measured against the corresponding blank....

The main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (FAWAG) process is the loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. In this study, the effects of phases, surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density were investigated by special adsorption experiments. Moreover, a series of FAWAG tests were performed to ex...

Factor lX,, ,,,. is a variant factor IX molecule responsible for a clinically moderate form of hemophilia B. Twenty-five kilobases (kb) of the variant gene, including seven exons coding for the structural protein, were cloned and characterized. The restriction map and the arrangement of coding regions are identical to those of the normal gene. DNA sequence analysis of the coding regions reveale...

We show that a recently introduced Lax pair of the Sawada-Kotera equation is nota new one but is trivially related to the known old Lax pair. Using the so-called trivialcompositions of the old Lax pairs with a differentially constrained arbitrary operators,we give some examples of trivial Lax pairs of KdV and Sawada-Kotera equations.

The factor VIII clotting activity (VIIIc1 and factor VIII related antigen (VIIIRAg) were determined repeatedly in 24 pairs of age-matched normal women, one of each pair being on oral contraceptives. No significant differences in either parameter or in the VIIIc/VIIIRAg ration were found between the two groups ,although the mean factor VIII clotting activity and VIIIc/VIIIRAg ratios for women on...
