Previously, we have shown that A(2A) adenosine receptor (A(2A)AR) mediates aortic relaxation via cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-epoxygenases. However, the signaling mechanism is not understood properly. We hypothesized that ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels play an important role in A(2A)AR-mediated relaxation. Organ bath and Western blot experiments were done using isolated aorta from A(2A)KO and c...

Thermo-exfoliated graphite (TEG)/CuO/Cu2(OH)3NO3:(Co/Fe) composites were prepared using a wet impregnation method and subsequent thermal treatment. The physicochemical characterization of the composites was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Ar temperature-desorption techniques. The catalytic efficiency toward CO conversion to CO2 was examined...

Organoimidoylization of Polyoxometalates (POMs) can dramatically modify the electronic structures of POMs and gives rise to novel "value-adding" properties of the POMs for promising material applications including photo-electronic transformation and catalysis. To date, the preparation of multi-functionalized organoimido derivatives of POMs is generally conducted under strict condition and is ti...

We study relationships between the dipole excitation and the ground state ms radius of a two-body system in the case of local potentials. We recall the inequality obtained long ago by Bertlmann and Martin, and discuss correction factors transforming the inequality in an approximate expression. Connecting the correction factor to the contribution of the lowest dipole state to the sum rule, we ge...
