Cationic liposomes have been proposed as alternative to adenovirus in the treatment of cystic fibrosis lung disease. Therefore, we have investigated the efficiency of two lipid mixtures in mediating gene transfer in in vitro and in vivo models. The cationic lipid DOTMA (N-(1-(2,3(dioleyloxy)propyl)-n,n,n-trimethylammoniumchloride++ +) and DOGS (dioctadecylamidoglycylspermine) were used in combi...

The effect of growth in the presence and absence of 86 m\i glucose on fruiting-body number and size, fruiting-body proportions and morphogenesis in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum, strain Ax-2, has been investigated. Cells grown in the absence of glucose (N.S. cells) formed 2-1 limes more fruiting bodies than glucose-grown cells allowed to differentiate under the same conditions and at...

This paper is an up-to-date research on the Roman military equipment found in Barbaricum beyond Dacian limes previously dealt with a lecture published 1999 Proceedings of 17th Congress Frontier Studies. The discussion other 10 items gave opportunity to draw additional conclusions and find more evidence for already made statements. So, nine pieces (nos. 1-9) were discovered autochthonous settlem...

This paper examines the influence of moisture and chlorides on mechanical properties natural hydraulic lime mortars, fired clay brick materials masonry components. Besides assessing three types mortars incorporating limes with different hydraulicity levels, a cement-only mortar was also investigated for comparison purposes. The test results indicate that all had mass accumulation in range 11–14...

Australian finger limes (Citrus australasica L.), an unusual citrus due to its unique pulp with a caviar-like appearance, has reached the global market as promising source of bioactive compounds that promote health. This research was, therefore, performed shed light on bioactivity and composition different parts Citrus L. (peel pulp). Initial ultrasound-assisted extraction using MeOH:H2O (80:20...
