Intact secretory granules isolated from bovine adrenal medulla express tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. Granule-associated TH sediments on continuous sucrose gradients with dopamine beta-hydroxylase, a marker for granule membranes, indicating that TH is associated with chromaffin granules. Membranes prepared from lysed granules retain TH, whereas granule contents are free of the enzyme. TH i...

The captive environment can lack opportunities for the expression of a range of natural behaviours (Wemelsfelder, 1997) and can contribute to the establishment of stereotypic or undesirable behaviours. Appropriately enriched environments have been shown to have positive effect on both physiological (Newberry, 1995) and psychological (Roy et al, 2001) welfare and to enhance the range of behaviou...

Bi r th weight is in large extent influenced by gestational age. In addi tion genetic and envi ronmental factors determine intrauter ine growth and bi r th weight. The contr ibutions of these factors may be influenced by maternal smoking dur ing pregnancy. We examined bi r th weight and maternal smoking in a sample of 2930 twin pai rs from the Nether lands Twin Register using structural equatio...

In this paper, we introduce a family of two-dimensional group-V carbides with an ordered sequence tetragons and hexagons (th-$\mathrm{C}{X}_{2}$, where $X=\text{P}$, As, Sb). We demonstrate that th-$\mathrm{C}{X}_{2}$ monolayers exhibit robust energetic, dynamical, thermal, mechanical stability. Our calculations show the intrinsic structural anisotropy induces strongly anisotropic mechanical, e...

A highly significant effect (p<0.05) of storage period on physico-chemical characteristics and sensory parameters of Apricot fruit produced in Rawalakot areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir was investigated at ambient temperature (Relative humidity 60-63% and temperature 28-30 C). The physicoo chemical characteristics such as weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and s...
