We begin with personal notes describing the atmosphere of ”Bogoliubov renormalization group” birth. Then we expose the history of RG discovery in the QFT and of the RG method devising in the mid-fifties. The third part is devoted to proliferation of RG ideas into diverse parts of theoretical physics. We conclude with discussing the perspective of RG method further development and its applicatio...

This study evaluated phenotypic (rph) and genetic correlations (rg) between 8 feed efficiency traits and other traits of economic interest including weight at selection (WS), loin-eye area (LEA), backfat thickness (BF), and rump fat thickness (RF) in Nellore cattle. Feed efficiency traits were gain:feed, residual feed intake (RFI), residual feed intake adjusted for backfat thickness (RFIb) and ...

PURPOSE Red ginseng (RG) has been reported to improve the blood and organ lipid profile when combined with exercise. However, the effect of RG on energy metabolism during exercise is poorly understood. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate whether RG treatment alters fat utilization during exercise; METHODS We used seven-week-old ICR mice (n = 42). RG (1 g/kg) was administered ora...

Two new epithelial cell lines from sporadic human colorectal adenomas designated S/AN and S/RG are reported. S/AN was from a villous adenoma and S/RG from a tubular adenoma. Both cell lines have extended growth capacities in vitro reaching passages 18 and 15, respectively, so far and show no signs of senescence. S/AN and S/RG have retained in vitro the ability to form mucin-producing goblet-lik...

In the present study, we isolated and determined the pharmacological characteristics of a novel gene encoding the lambda light chain of human Ig surface antigen-related gene (IgLC-rG). The isolated cDNA consisted of 693 base pairs that encoded a 232-amino acid protein. Northern blot analysis revealed that the IgLC-rG mRNA is expressed in the adult spleen and small intestine but not in fetal tis...

Multiple studies have shown that performance of subjects on a number of visual tasks is worse for non-cardinal than cardinal colors, especially in the red-green/luminance (RG/LUM) and tritan/luminance (TRIT/LUM) color planes. Inspired by neurophysiological evidence that suppressive surround input to receptive fields is particularly sensitive to luminance, we hypothesized that non-cardinal mecha...

We study exact renormalization group (RG) in O(4) gauged supergrav-ity using the effective average action formalism. The nonperturbative RG equations for cosmological and newtonian coupling constants are found. It is shown the existence of (nonstable) fixed point of these equations. The solution of RG equation for newtonian coupling constant is qualitatively the same as in Einstein gravity (i.e...

Plant cell wall degradation is a premier event when Bacillus subtilis, a typical saprophytic bacterium, invades plants. Here we show the degradation system of rhamnogalacturonan type I (RG-I), a component of pectin from the plant cell wall, in B. subtilis strain 168. Strain 168 cells showed a significant growth on plant cell wall polysaccharides such as pectin, polygalacturonan, and RG-I as a c...
