The quenching of the luminescence of Ru(TAP)++, Ru(HAT)z(bpyp+ (TAP = 1,4,5$-tetraazaphenanthrene; HAT = 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatphenylene; bpy = 2,2'bipyridyl) and related oxidising complexes by DNA, polynucleotides, and purine nucleotides occurs by reductive electron transfer. Laser flash photolysis provides evidence for the formation of the reduced metal complex and the deprotonated nucleotide ...

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to evaluate nuclear histone acetylation level and total histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and deacetylase (HDAC) activity in ejaculated sperm and their relevance to conventional sperm parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three normozoospermic men were included in this study. Semen samples were processed by swim-up and then immunostained by six acetylation an...

Hat problems have recently become a popular topic in combinatorics and discrete mathematics. These have been shown to be strongly related to coding theory, network coding, and auctions. We consider the following version of the hat game, introduced by Winkler and studied by Butler et al. A team is composed of several players; each player is assigned a hat of a given colour; they do not see their...

Ein objektorientierter Einstieg in die Informatik muss sich an der Berücksichtigung der Lebenswirklichkeit der Schülerinnen und Schüler messen lassen. Wir liefern mit dieser Arbeit Ideen für einen schülerorientierten Anfangsunterricht. Es werden sowohl Konzeptelemente für die Mittelals auch für die Oberstufe einschließlich invarianter Aspekte und ihrer Umsetzung vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus doku...

We describe our work in progress aimed at implementing a multi-hat PDA. Our current prototype is based on SELinux and KDE and accepts a proximity token, in the form of a Bluetooth cellphone, as an alternative authentication method. We analyse in detail the suitability of several alternatives for the graphical environment and underlying OS and we discuss a variety of interesting implementation i...

هیدروفرمینگ لوله به‌طور گسترده، در تولید قطعات ساختاری اتومبیل استفاده می‌شود. یکی از خصوصیات تولید‌شده با این فرایند، نسبت استحکام به وزن بالا می‌باشد. لولۀ فشار پایین، روش‌های پیشنهاد‌شده برای حل مشکلات قبیل نیاز بالای سیال و آب‌بندی روش انجام پایین لوله، شبیه فشردن جسم جامد است آن برخلاف بالا، قالب بالایی طول فرایند ثابت نبوده هم‌زمان اعمال داخلی حرکت کرده را تحت قرار می‌دهد. مقاله، لوله‌های...

Although early diagnosis and treatment are key factors in the effective control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), many cases of the disease delay taking appropriate action, leading to untold suffering. As a better understanding of treatment-seeking behaviour should help in identifying the obstacles to early diagnosis and effective treatment, the treatment pathways followed by 203 former H...

BACKGROUND Increasing numbers of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases have been reported in urban residents of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic Congo since 1996. We set up a case-control study to identify risk factors for the disease. METHODS All residents of the urban part of Kinshasa with parasitologically confirmed HAT and presenting for treatment to the city's specialized HAT clinics be...
