prostate cancer is the most common cancer in america and canada, and is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. dietary factors play an important role in prostate cancer development; one of them is dietary fat, particularly pufa intake. thus, this study aimed to review the current articles on the correlation between pufa and prostate cancer. we searched the pubmed database, and selected article...

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) from hepatitis C virus (HCV), nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B), has recently been shown to direct de novo initiation using a number of complex RNA templates. In this study, we analyzed the features in simple RNA templates that are required to direct de novo initiation of RNA synthesis by HCV NS5B. NS5B was found to protect RNA fragments of 8 to 10 nucleoti...

In [6], Lyapunov’s direct method was used as a In practical applications of self-synchronizing chaotic systems, it is undesirable to be restricted to the wellknown low-dimensional systems; we need the ability to choose from a wide variety of high-dimensional chaotic systems. This paper discusses systematic synthesis procedures for achieving this capability. The significance of this work lies in...

Aims. We study the interaction of a low-mass planet with a protoplanetary disk with a realistic treatment of the energy balance by doing radiation-hydrodynamical simulations. We look at accretion and migration rates and compare them to isothermal studies. Methods. We used a three-dimensional version of the hydrodynamical method RODEO, together with radiative transport in the fluxlimited diffusi...

We have developed a convenient method for the direct synthesis of peptide thioesters, versatile intermediates for peptide ligation and cyclic peptide synthesis. The technology uses a modified Boc SPPS strategy that avoids the use of anhydrous HF. Boc in situ neutralization protocols are used in combination with Merrifield hydroxymethyl resin and TFA/TMSBr cleavage. Avoiding HF extends the scope...
