A rapid, portable, and semi-quantitative immunochromatographic strip was developed for rapid and visual detection of alternariol monomethyl ether (AME). For this purpose, the anti-AME monoclonal antibody (mAb) was prepared and identified. AME coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) via methyl 4-bromobutanoate was prepared as immunogen. The recoveries of AME in spiked cherry and orange fruits dete...

HIV-1 virions are highly enriched in cholesterol relative to the cellular plasma membrane. We recently reported that a cholesterol-binding compound, amphotericin B methyl ester (AME), blocks HIV-1 entry and that single amino acid substitutions in the cytoplasmic tail of the transmembrane envelope glycoprotein gp41 confer resistance to AME. In this study, we defined the mechanism of resistance t...

The necessity for turbulent combustion modelling in the large-eddy simulation (LES) of premixed turbulent combustion is evident from the computational cost and the complexity of handling ame kinetics reaction mechanisms directly. In this paper a new ame-wrinkling LES combustion model using conditional ltering is proposed. The model represents an alternative approach to the traditional ame surfa...

The DE values of corn grain for pigs will differ among corn sources. More accurate prediction of DE may improve diet formulation and reduce diet cost. Corn grain sources ( = 83) were assayed with growing swine (20 kg) in DE experiments with total collection of feces, with 3-wk-old broiler chick in nitrogen-corrected apparent ME (AME) trials and with cecectomized adult roosters in nitrogen-corre...

In this investigation our objective is 1) to compare the similitude between an unsteady, two-dimensional (axisymmetric), partially premixed  ame and an analogous steady, partially premixed  amelet to determine if state relationshipsin terms ofamodiŽ ed conserved scalar applyand2) to investigate amestructure interactionsbetween the various reaction zones contained in partially premixed  ames...

A total of 181 wheat flour and 142 wheat-based foods including dried noodle, steamed bread and bread collected in China were analyzed for alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tentoxin (TEN) and tenuazonic acid (TeA) by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. TeA was the predominant toxin found in 99.4% wheat flour samples at le...

Nitric oxide (NO) is generated from the guanidine group of L-arginine by NO synthases (NOS) in a wide variety of tissues, including endocrine organs. In order to discriminate between central and local effects of NO-related agents on the pituitary-testicular axis, adult rats were injected intraperitoneally with 1 g/kg body weight (bw) L-arginine methyl ester (L-AME, an exogenous substrate of NOS...

The addition of amphotericin methyl ester (AME) to suspensions of Candida albicans is followed by a progressively increasing rate of release of Kf from within the cell. The time taken for a given rate of release to be reached depends upon the AME concentration (the product of AME concentration and time being approximately constant), the pH and concentration of buffer, the temperature, the suspe...

This paper provides an introduction to the Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME) programming model and to its formal study, through the AME calculus. AME resembles cooperative multithreading; in the intended implementations, however, software transactional memory supports the concurrent execution of atomic fragments. This paper also studies simple dynamic and static mechanisms for atomicity checks i...

The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of Aegle marmelos leaf extract (AME) on hyperalgesia in alloxan-diabetic rats. Alloxan (150 mg/kg; i.p.) was injected to induce diabetes in wistar rats (150-200 g). The diabetic animals were treated with vehicle (diabetic control), varying doses of AME (25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1), fluoxetine (20 mg kg-1), propanolol (30 mg kg-1) foll...
