This paper is based on an exploratory, interdisciplinary study of issues related to information-sharing within and across three public agencies. We build on Schein’s (1996) work to identify three subcultures within the public sector (bureaucrat, politician and scientist).. We propose four types of systems (social, constituency, technical and organizational) related to the information and decisi...

Tumor cells grown as multicellular spheroids are known to be intrinsically more resistant to a large and diverse array of anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs compared to the same cells grown as dispersed monolayer cell cultures. Some drugs, however, seem relatively insensitive to this multicellular drug resistance, e.g., cisplatinum. Whether the cytotoxic effects of Taxol, an anticancer drug of g...

vu que les conditions actuelles du monde nécessitent l’unicité des cultures et des sociétés humaines et sollicitent une ferme relation entre les différentes civilisations, pour mieux pouvoir se communiquer et se comprendre les uns et les autres, il nous est  fort utile de trouver un langage commun qui ne pourrait être que le langage du cœur. c’est d’ailleurs ce langage qui nous a guidés vers un...

Acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) is taken up by bovine aortic and adrenal capillary cells but not by brain capillary cells. This indicates that the uptake of Ac-LDL is not a feature of all types of endothelial cell. A quantitative examination of lipoprotein uptake by flow cytometry showed cells in G2M took up 45% more Ac-LDL than those in G1S. Compared with confluent cultures, sub-co...

Apologies are sources of problems in the process of Persian-English subtitling as they are performed with variant forms and functions in these two languages and cultures. ‘Ta’ārof apologies’-Persian apologies which are extended to show politeness-creates more serious obstacles for the subtitlers. These difficulties root in the culture-specific contexts in which they are used as well as the cult...

UV/ozone ashing of thin tissue sections and cell cultures is a simple technique to enhance relative elemental concentrations, while maintaining their spatial location at the sub-micron level. This approach may enhance the capability of spatially resolved analysis techniques to detect the distribution of trace elements in biological matrices. We present results from light microscopy and x-ray sp...

This paper examines the problematization of cultural issues related tothe dual spacization of life. The emergence of the second space of lifeover the first place of life combining local and translocal, national andtransnational capacities and challenges. We discuss the capacities andopportunities occurring through the instant communication industrywhich made the spontaneous connection between a...

Immature inflorescence with outer spathe length of 5.5 cm size collected from West Coast Tall cultivar coconut was used as the explant and rachillae bits were inoculated in Y3 media supplemented 2, 4-D (1 mg L-1). The cultures incubated dark for eight months sub-cultured into same at monthly interval. white shoot like outgrowths formed sub cultured to ½ MS fortified 1 L-1 each NAA BAP subsequen...

Fused yttrium-alumoborate glasses doped with ytterbium, silicon, chromium, and sodium were synthesized. The influence of the matrix on "spectroscopic behavior" chromium ions efficiency their sensitization Yb3+ luminescence was established by spectral-luminescence EPR-studies. It found that (1) in alkali-free is mainly oxidation degree Cr(III) an appreciable admixture Cr(IV) Cr(V), (2) partial r...

The Na superionic conductor (NASICON) Na3V2(PO4)3 is an important positive electrode material for Na-ion batteries. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of phase transition in NaxV2(PO4)3 (1 ? x 4) upon nonequilibrium battery cycling. Unlike widely believed two-phase reaction a Na3V2(PO4)3–Na1V2(PO4)3 system, determine, first time, structure recently reported intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 using opera...
