Using an RNase protection assay, globin mRNA species expressed in clones derived from Ba/F3 and B6SUtA cells transfected with the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) and selected with erythropoietin (Epo) were compared with globin mRNA species induced in corresponding parental cells by sodium butyrate (SB) and trichostatin A (TSA). betaMajor/betaminor- and -1/-2-globin mRNAs were the major species, ...

Introduction: Subchondral bone (SB) micro-fracture due to high-impact loading is a key factor leading to post traumatic knee osteoarthritis [1]. The apparent-level impact mechanics of SB has been previously investigated using mechanical tests [2]. However, to investigate the osteochondral injuries, the tissue-level impact mechanics, especifically, the mechanical parameters associated with SB mi...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of ingesting caffeine (CAFF) and sodium bicarbonate (SB), taken individually and simultaneously, on 3-km cycling time-trial (TT) performance. METHOD Ten well-trained cyclists, age 24.2 ± 5.4 yr, participated in this acute-treatment, double-blind, crossover study that involved four 3-km cycling TTs performed on separate days. Before each TT, participants ingest...

This paper presents the mathematical framework involved in the determination of an upper bound of the maximum spread value of a D-dimensional Turbo-Code of frame size N. This bound is named Sphere Bound (SB). It is obtained using some simple properties of Euclidian space (sphere packing in a finite volume). The SB obtained for dimension 2 is equal to N. 2. This result has already been conjectur...

Extremely large reduction of resistivity was demonstrated in La2O2Sb with a Sb square net by forming an epitaxial thin film.

The crystal structure of a specimen of `Pb-rich' chabournéite from Jas Roux, Hautes-Alpes, France, with the chemical formula obtained by electron microprobe analysis of Ag(0.04 (1))Tl(2.15 (2))Pb(0.64 (1))Sb(5.12 (1))As(5.05 (1))S(17.32 (5)), has been solved by X-ray single-crystal diffraction on the basis of 36,550 observed reflections (with F(o) > 4σF(o)) with a final R1 = 0.074. Pb-rich chab...

The Sb atom in the centrosymmetric title complex, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)O], has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The bridging oxide O atom occupies one of the axial sites, while the O atom of the chloroacetate ligand occupies the other.

In the title compound, [Fe(2)Sb(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(7)H(7)NO)(2)] or [Sb(C(6)H(5))(3){Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(7)NO)}(2)], the Sb center has a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with the three phenyl ligands in equatorial positions and the two O atoms from the ferrocenylethanone oximate ligands in axial positions. The crystal structure is stabilized by two inter-molecular C-H⋯π...

A feedlot trial was conducted to determine the effect of dietary vitamin A concentration and roasted soybean (SB) inclusion on carcass characteristics, adipose tissue cellularity, and muscle fatty acid composition. Angus-crossbred steers (n = 168; 295 +/- 1.8 kg) were allotted to 24 pens (7 steers each). Four treatments, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, were investigated: no supplemental vitam...

Sedentary behavior (SB) has emerged as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. While exercise is known to reduce these risks, reducing SB through increases in non-structured PA and breaks from sitting may appeal to obese women who have lower self-efficacy for PA. This study examined effects of a combined face-to-face and online intervention to reduce SB in ove...
