Inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) regulates certain intracellular functions and extracellular crystal deposition. PP(i) is produced, degraded, and transported by specialized mechanisms. Moreover, dysregulated cellular PP(i) production, degradation, and transport all have been associated with disease, and PP(i) appears to directly mediate specific disease manifestations. In addition, natural and s...

We investigated the association between stroke and blood pressure (BP) indices (systolic BP [SBP], diastolic BP [DBP], mean BP [MBP], and pulse pressure [PP]) determined by ambulatory BP monitoring. The predictive power for stroke of these indices was compared in the general Japanese population. We obtained ambulatory BP data in 1271 subjects (40% men) aged 40 (mean: 61) years. During a mean fo...

The antigenic relationships between three bovine rotaviruses, UK, CP-1 and PP-1, and a porcine rotavirus were investigated; their pathogenicity for piglets was also assessed. After propagation and cloning in cell culture, the four viruses were used to produce convalescent and hyperimmune antisera in gnotobiotic animals. For the UK and PP-1 viruses, reciprocal virus neutralization tests gave rat...

non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polypropylene (pp) and pp containing 0.5 wt% singlewalled carbon nanotubes (pp/swnt) were studied at various cooling rates using differential scanning calorimetry technique. the non-isothermal melt crystallization data were analyzed according to ozawa and cazé-chuah models. although ozawa model was successful in describing the nonisothermal crystalliza...

This paper studies complexity theoretic aspects of quantum refereed games, which are abstract games between two competing players that send states to a referee, who performs an efficiently implementable joint measurement on the determine player wins. The class QRG(1) contains those decision problems for one can always win with high probability yes-instances and other no-instances, regardless op...

The wounded quark-diquark model predictions for charged pions multiplicities in P bP b and pP b collisions in the central rapidity region at √ s = 17.3 GeV c.m. energy are presented. 1. The NA49 collaboration published precise results 1 on inclusive production of charged pions in pp collisions at √ s = 17.3 GeV [1]. This measurement allows to investigate the consequences of the wounded quark-di...
