the ph dependence study reveals that the cys 206 sulphydryl group of bovine carbonicanhydrase in the native form is not exposed. during the reaction of 2,2'-dithiobispyridine (2-dtp) with the enzyme, there was no absorbance change recorded. in the presence ofsurfactants, the ph dependence profiles of the apparent second order rate constants, kapp, forthe reaction of 2-dtp with bovine carbo...

OBJECTIVE The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of pulmonary lesions on dual-time-point (DTP) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for differentiation between malignant and non-malignant pulmonary lesions, and also to be of value for intrathoracic nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a few NSCLC lesions have been...

The role of angiogenic molecules, like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in tumor angiogenesis was well confirmed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) action is, to very high degree, based on tumor vasculature damage. Therefore, it seemed to be important to evaluate growth factor receptors after PDT. The extent of receptor expression was studied by immuno-histo...

PT Bio Farma, the sole World Health Organization-approved Indonesian vaccine producer, manufactures a whole-cell whooping cough vaccine (wP) that, as part of a pentavalent diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis/hepatitis B/Haemophilus influenzae b (DTP/HB/Hib) vaccine, is used in Indonesia and many other countries. We report here the whole-genome sequence for Bordetella pertussis Pelita III, PT Bio Farma...

We examined sputum bacterial loads in adults with newly diagnosed tuberculosis using quantitative culture and time-until-positive (DTP) culture in BACTEC 460. Patients with cavitary disease had higher CFU levels than those without cavities and shorter DTPs. Within radiographic strata of moderately and far advanced tuberculosis, higher CFU counts were associated with cavitary disease.

We study a Hanany-Witten set-up relevant to N = 2 superconformal field theories. We find the exact near-horizon solution for this 11-dimensional system which involves intersecting M5-branes. The metric describes a warped product of AdS5 with a manifold with SU(2) ×U(1) isometry. USITP-00-08 DTP/00/45 hep-th/0006060 email: [email protected] email: [email protected]

We present Bidirectional Online Probabilistic Planner (BOPP)1, a novel planner that combines elements of Decision Theoretic Planning(DTP) and forward search. In particular, BOPP uses a combination of SPUDD and Upper Confidence Trees(UCT). We present our approach and some experimental results on the domains presented in the boolean fluents MDP track of the International Probabilistic Planning Co...

Abstract Reported incidence of pertussis in the European Union (EU) and Economic Area (EEA) varies may not reflect real situation, while vaccine-induced protection against diphtheria tetanus seems sufficient. We aimed to determine seroprevalence DTP antibodies EU/EEA countries within age groups 40–49 50–59 years. Eighteen collected around 500 samples between 2015 2018 (N = 10,302) which were an...

We find new solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity describing M5-branes wrapped on holomorphic 2-cycles embedded in C. These solutions preserve N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. They are dual to N = 1 gauge theories in four dimensions by Maldacena’s duality.
