Massive necrosis of the liver occurs in rats restricted to diets in which yeast is the sole source of protein."' The present report considers the cardiac and hepatic lesions that developed in mice fed diets in which British yeast was the source of protein. In addition, studies have been made of the possible protective actions of dietary supplements (cystine or a-tocopherol) and of the substitut...

Electron spin resonance studies of the in vivo response to fungicides (chloranil and thiram) by Aspergillus niger of different ages are described. The spores possessed a natural free radical signal which grew rapidly upon application of chloranil. Thiram, on the other hand, produced weak changes in the free radical region but easily detectable changes at lower fields, indicating involvement of ...

Partial recovery of ultraviolet-damaged denatured or native transforming DNA from Hemophilus influenzae, has been obtained by exposing the irradiated DNA in the denatured form to nitrous acid. Some factors that affect this recovery are described. An erythromycin marker (E(20)) was not reactivated. The UV damage reactivable by nitrous acid is different from that repaired by the photoreactivating...

This paper presents a chaotic map based cryptography technique, in the proposed technique; confusion and diffusion applied on spectral domain (on DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients) hence the encryption can be achieved quickly without applying the large number of confusion and diffusion cycle as it is needed in spatial domain. Also the diffusion template is created by random number gen...

the calcium binding sites of bakers' yeast transketolase (tk) was elucidated by estimating the pka values of the functional groups that bind to calcium. these pka's were found to be 6.25 and 7.2 relating to the pka's of the two immidazol moieties of histidine residues on the enzyme. the rate of the binding of calcium to the enzyme was obtained separately as a function of ph. maxi...
