Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) is a wild flower with high and valuable oil content. High seedshattering, indeterminate inflorescence and heterogeneous germination limit the commercial cultivation ofthis plant. Besides agronomical research, breeding programs can also remedy the above mentioned problems.Since traditional breeding methods take a long time, using techniqu...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that systematic ablation of ganglionated plexi (GP) could increase the short-term success rate of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, but the long-term efficacy of this approach is not fully established. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-four mongrel dogs were divided into 3 groups: epicardial GP ablation group 1 (n=8), epicardial GP ablation g...

BACKGROUND Tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are known to be immunotherapy targets; thus tumor-sharing TAA may be used as a fusion hybrid partner to confer protection against subsequent tumor challenge. METHODS The squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), SCCVII and B4B8, were used in C3H/HEN mice: SCCVII (H-2(k)) is syngeneic, B4B8 (H-2(d)) is allogeneic. Experiments using tumor alone included hyperi...

Abstract Chironomids are a useful group for investigating body size responses to warming due their high local abundance and sensitivity environmental change. We collected specimens of six species chironomids every 2 weeks over 2-year period (2017–2018) from mesocosm experiments using five ponds at ambient temperature 4°C higher than temperature. investigated (1) wing length within between sexes...

Reaction of thionyl chloride with 2-acetyl-1- benzenesulfonylpyrrole semicarbazone (6 c) gave 4 - (1- benzenesulfonyl-2 - pyrrolyl) - 1, 2, 3 -thiadiazole (lc). Selenium dioxide oxidation of 2-acetylpyrazine semicarbazone (10) in acetic acid afforded 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- selenadiazole (4). Reaction of thionyl chloride with compound 10 gave 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- thiadiazole (3)....
