porous hollow glass microspheres have many uses, including encapsulation of active materials. in this paper a fast and facile method for fabricating porous hollow glass-microspheres was demonstrated by etching them using dilute hydrofluoric acid. then, a highly reactive amine was infiltrated into the etched glass microspheres. scanning electron microscopy was conducted for the hollow glass micr...

This article contains representative fluorescence excitation spectra of roGFP2-based probes used for ratiometric analysis of redox changes as presented in the article "Systematic in vitro assessment of responses of roGFP2-based probes to physiologically relevant oxidant species" [1]. The recombinant probes roGFP2, roGFP2-Orp1, and Grx1-roGFP2 were exposed to various oxidative and nitrosative sp...

When the directed graph of an n–by–n matrix A does not contain a Hamilton cycle, we exhibit a formula for detA in terms of sums of products of proper principal minors of A. The set of minors involved depends upon the zero/nonzero pattern of A.

UNLABELLED The endothelium constitutes a functionally active organ critically involved in angiogenesis. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important regulator of vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis and stimulates glucose metabolism in certain cells. We thus investigated the effect of exogenous NO on (18)F-FDG transport in human endothelial cells. METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)...

The paper presents the results of microwave synthesis a Zn-B-P-oxide catalyst, which actively absorbs energy radiation, applied to surface an aluminum-reinforced Al/γ-Al2O3 carrier, in order further intensify process acylation diethylamine with m-toluic acid diethylamide (DETA) under conditions exposure field. ob-tained demonstrate possibility realizing thermal regime, is formed reaction zone d...

We aimed to assess intrinsic smooth muscle mechanisms contributing to greater nitric oxide (NO) responsiveness in pulmonary vascular vs. airway smooth muscle. Porcine pulmonary artery smooth muscle (PASM) and tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) strips were used in concentration-response studies to the NO donor (Z)-1-[N-2-aminoethyl-N-(2-ammonioethyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DETA-NO). PASM consi...

An estimated 45 to 50 million emplaced landmines in over 60 countries kill or maim approximately 10,000 people annually. An international humanitarian demining effort is underway to eliminate this global problem. Currently, the most common in-situ mine neutralization procedure is demolition using small explosive charges such as C-4 or TNT. However, this method is not suitable for mines placed o...
