Intravenous (IV) administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) caused severe hematopoietic injury in mice. Daily administration of purified human recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rG-CSF) accelerated recovery from neutropenia in these injured mice. Granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM) in spleen were markedly increased by rG-CSF, while rG-CSF was less effective on the regenerat...

Let R be any ring (with 1), G a torsion free group and RG the corresponding group ring. Let Ext∗RG(M,M) be the cohomology ring associated to the RG-module M . Let H be a subgroup of finite index of G. The following is a special version of our main Theorem: Assume the profinite completion of G is torsion free. Then an element ζ ∈ Ext∗RG(M,M) is nilpotent (under Yoneda’s product) if and only if i...

I study the incorporation of renormalization group (RG) improved BFKL kernels in the Balitsky–Kovchegov (BK) equation which describes parton saturation. The RG improvement takes into account important parts of the next-to-leading and higher order logarithmic corrections to the kernel. The traveling wave front method for analyzing the BK equation is generalized to deal with RG-resummed kernels, ...

The so-called renormalization group (RG) method is applied to derive Boltzmann equation in classical mechanics and Fokker-Planck equation from the respective microscopic equations. Utilizing the formulation of the RG method which elucidates the important role played by the choice of the initial conditions, the general structure and the underlying assumptions in the derivation of kinetic equatio...

1. Correlations with weight at slaughter (SltWt) SltWt, DFI: For cattle, weighted mean estimates from the 6 studies cited by Arthur and Herd (2008) and Crowley et al. (2010) are: rg = 0.72, rp = 0.61, for weight (during a feed efficiency test) with DFI measured over at least 50 days. Genetic correlations of weight with DFI in lambs are similar (rg = 0.85, François et al., 2007; rg = 0.71 ± 0.11...

The results of previous studies have suggested that estimated daily globalradiation (RG) values contain an error that could compromise the precision of subsequentcrop model applications. The following study presents a detailed site and spatial analysis ofthe RG error propagation in CERES and WOFOST crop growth models in Central Europeanclimate conditions. The research was conducted i) at the ei...

Intracerebroventricular injection of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) produces hyperglycemia and increases whole body glucose uptake. The purpose of the present study was to determine in rats which tissues are responsible for the elevated rate of glucose disposal. NMDA was injected intracerebroventricularly, and the glucose metabolic rate (Rg) was determined for individual tissues 20-60 min later us...

A successful renormalization-group (RG) approach may provide signinicant insights of a system exhibiting power-law dependencies. In 1994, a RG scheme [1] was proposed for sandpile models which exhibit power-law behavior and function as the models of self-organized criticality [2]. One momentous result of such a RG approach is that BakTang-Wisenfeld (BTW) [2] sandpile posepossing a deterministic...

A code over a group ring is defined to be a submodule of that group ring. For a code C over a group ring RG, C is said to be checkable if there is v ∈ RG such that C = {x ∈ RG : xv = 0}. In [6], Jitman et al. introduced the notion of code-checkable group ring. We say that a group ring RG is code-checkable if every ideal in RG is a checkable code. In their paper, Jitman et al. gave a necessary a...

Two similar enzymes with different biosynthetic function in one species have evolved to catalyze two distinct reactions. X-ray structures of both enzymes help reveal their most important differences. The Rauvolfia alkaloid biosynthetic network harbors two O-glucosidases: raucaffricine glucosidase (RG), which hydrolyses raucaffricine to an intermediate downstream in the ajmaline pathway, and str...
