At low pressures, the solubility of gases in liquids is governed by Henry's law, which states that the saturated solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. As the pressure increases, most gases depart from this ideal behavior in a sublinear fashion, leveling off at pressures in the 1- to 5-kbar (0.1 to 0.5 GPa) range with solubilities of less than 1 mole...

The severity of damage to host plants by omnivorous pests can vary according to the availability of plant and animal prey. Two omnivorous mole crickets, Scapteriscus vicinus Scudder and S. borellii Giglio-Tos, were used to determine if the availability of prey influences damage to hybrid bermudagrass by adult mole crickets. Experiments were conducted in arenas with either grass alone (control)...

Downloa ent advances in understanding the role of eukaryotic translation initiator factor 4E (eIF4E) in igenesis and cancer progression have generated significant interest in therapeutic agents that ctly or directly target aberrant activation of eIF4E in cancer. Here, we address the general function 4E in translation initiation and cancer, present evidence supporting its role in cancer initiati...

Downlo ptive response (AR) is a term describing resistance to ionizing radiation–induced killing or formation of nt chromosomes that is mediated by pre-exposure to low ionizing radiation doses. The mechanism of ains elusive. Because cell killing and chromosome aberration formation derive from erroneous procesf DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), AR may reflect a modulation of DSB processing by nonh...

Do you have moles on face? Are the moles good or bad? We could treat this problem from medical, cosmetic, or even fortune applications viewpoint. Here, image processing techniques are investigated to detect and verify the goodness of face mole from fortune telling point of view. The process includes Voronoi diagram setup for sample moles, face mole detection, and mole recognition. In the first ...

Partial premixing of fuel and oxidizer is of common occurrence in fires. However, most previous studies dealing with flame extinction have focused on nonpremixed flames. In this experimental–numerical study, we examine the effectiveness of fuel-stream versus air-stream dilution for extinguishing laminar methane–air partially premixed (PPFs) and nonpremixed flames (NPF) using the chemically iner...

Download wth factors and many oncogenes activate the lipid kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), ing a signaling cascade that includes the protein kinases AKT and target of rapamycin (TOR). The AKT/TOR signaling pathway is a significant contributor to disease in various human cancers, includmatologic malignancies. Here we discuss different strategies to inhibit TOR for the treatment of ia, l...

African mole-rats (family Bathyergidae) are small to medium sized, long-lived, and strictly subterranean rodents that became valuable animal models as a result of their longevity and diversity in social organization. The formation and integration of new hippocampal neurons in adult mammals (adult hippocampal neurogenesis, AHN) correlates negatively with age and positively with habitat complexit...

The control of metabolite production is difficult in mixed culture fermentation. This is particularly related to hydrogen inhibition. In this work, hydrogenotrophic methanogens were selectively enriched to reduce the hydrogen partial pressure and to realize efficient acetate production in extreme-thermophilic (70°C) mixed culture fermentation. The continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was stab...

In the United States, molar pregnancy occurs between 1 in 1,200 and 1 in 2,500 pregnancies. The critical nature of complications associated with a molar pregnancy requires advanced perioperative anesthetic management. This case report details the perioperative events of a 34-year-old gravida 5, para 3, with a partial molar pregnancy who underwent general anesthesia for a dilatation and curettag...
