OBJECTIVE The study sought to determine whether methodological search strategies identified by Haynes et al. as most effective for locating information for evidence-based medicine in MEDLINE would be effective in locating information in CAB Abstracts for evidence-based veterinary medicine. METHODS Articles published in the year 2000 volumes of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical As...

Conventional active noise control (ANC) systems attempt to minimize pressure at an error sensor (or sensors) to achieve control, and often result in a relatively small zone of control. Considering a practical application in a vehicle, this approach is acceptable provided the operator’s head remains within the control zone. In the case of an earthmoving machine, an operator’s head regularly move...

The present study proposed a composite vegetation health index (VHI) derived from Leaf area index (LAI), Chlorophyll content (Cab) and equivalent water thickness (Cw) of wheat crop in Trans Gangetic Plains of India. The wheat growing areas of the study area were retrieved from time series 16 days MVC MODIS Enhance Vegetation Index (EVI) data. The LAI, Cab and Cw were retrieved from MODIS reflec...

The Elip (early light-inducible protein) family in pro- and eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms consists of more than 100 different stress proteins. These proteins accumulate in photosynthetic membranes in response to light stress and have photoprotective functions. At the amino acid level, members of the Elip family are closely related to light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (Cab) antenna ...

The expression of many nuclear genes in plants is light regulated. We have examined the fluence-response, time-course, and reciprocity characteristics of four nuclear, blue-light-regulated transcripts in Pisum sativum L. var Alaska: Cab RNA, pEA207 RNA, pEA215 RNA, and pEA25 RNA. To avoid complications due to blue-light-induced transformation of phytochrome, we have adapted the procedure of mea...

Carbonic anhydrase, a zinc enzyme catalyzing the interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, is nearly ubiquitous in the tissues of highly evolved eukaryotes. Here we report on the first known plant-type (b-class) carbonic anhydrase in the archaea. The Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum DH cab gene was hyperexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the heterologously produced protein was puri...

During recent years many experiments have demonstrated the usefulness of antimetabolites for studying routes of metabolism. Competitive inhibitors have been used to block specific enzyme systems and to establish enzyme-substrate relationships, and the compounds produced by the action of these enzyme systems have been characterized through their ability to enhance the reversal of the inhibitors ...

An improved number of anti-fungal drugs are currently available for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis (IA). While serial galactomannan index (GMI) measurement can be used to monitor response to treatment, the extent to which different anti-fungal regimens can affect galactomannan levels is unknown. In 147 IA patients receiving either voriconazole (VCZ) or conventional amphotericin B (CAB)...

AIM To determine the treatment outcome of combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy using the non-steroidal antiandrogen bicalutamide or the steroidal antiandrogen chlormadinone in patients with prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 124 patients with prostate cancer enrolled in the present study were randomized to receive CAB therapy using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agon...
