This paper develops a model of voluntary migration into degrading work. The essence of the model is a tension between two “bads:” that which arises from being relatively deprived at home, and that which arises from engaging in humiliating work away from home. Balancing between these two “bads” can give rise to an explicit, voluntary choice to engage in humiliating work. The paper identifies con...

149Tb represents a powerful alternative to currently used α-emitters: the relatively short half-life (T1/2 = 4.1 h), low α-energy (3.97 MeV, Iα = 16.7 %), absence of α-emitting daughters and stable coordination via DOTA are favorable features for potential clinical application. In this letter, we wish to highlight the unique characteristics of 149Tb for PET imaging, based on its positron emissi...

Synthesis and overexpression of a gene encoding Escherichia coli UDP-galactose 4-epimerase and engineered to facilitate cassette mutagenesis are described. General acid-base catalysis at the active site of this epimerase has been studied by kinetic and spectroscopic analysis of the wild-type enzyme and its specifically mutated forms Y149F, S124A, S124V, and S124T. The X-ray crystal structure of...

BackgroundPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with disturbed interplay between immune cells and keratinocytes. A strong IFN-? signature characteristic for psoriasis skin, but the role of has been elusive. MicroRNAs are short RNAs regulating gene expression.ObjectiveOur aim was to investigate miR-149 in responses keratinocytes.MethodsmiR-149 expression measured by quantitative RT-PC...

RES-1149-1 and -2, novel and non-peptidic endothelin antagonists, were isolated from the cultured broth of a fungus, Aspergillus sp. RE-1 149. RES-1 149-1 and -2 selectively inhibited the ET-1 binding to endothelin type B receptor (ETB receptor) with IC50 values of 1.5pM and 20//M, respectively. Taxonomyof producing strains, fermentation, isolation, and physico-chemical properties of RES-1149-1...
