Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is required in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and energetic metabolism within Krebs cycle. It has also an essential role in acetylcholine synthesis and neurotransmission.1 Thiamin deficiency can lead to various manifestations such as Gayet-Wernicke syndrome, wet beriberi with congestive heart failure, or dry beriberi with peripheral neuropathy. We report...

sclerotium cepivorum incited white rot is one of the destructive diseases of garlic inhamedan province. a total number of 175 bacillus strains were isolated from soil and fromgarlic rhizospheres. the antagonism of the bacterial isolates against sclerotium cepivorum wasevaluated using dual culture method. ten high level activity isolates which produced inhibitionzones were selected for further s...

conclusions the b3, b5, b7, b8 and b9 subgenotypes can be clustered into quasi-sub-genotype b3 and the open reading frame of hbv has a start codon preference; however, whether a mutation in the start codon in the pre-s2 region has an impact on survival and replication of hbv remains to be determined. background the number of cases of hbv infection reported by the who for each district and count...

This study investigated the production of biogas from food waste co-digested with potash and cow dung as inoculant. The aim this was to determine amount generated substrate. Experimental research design used it carried out at Uturu, Abia State, Nigeria. 4% 12% concentrations substrate were mixed fed into anaerobic digesters labeled B1 B9 for 90days. Result ultimate analysis showed oxygen (41.33...

In this paper, we report transport measurements of interlayer magnetoresistance with field parallel and perpendicular to the current direction in an all organic superconductor b9-~BEDT-TTF!2SF5CH2CF2SO3. For HiI , the isothermal magnetoresistance R(H) at low temperatures (T<Tc) displays a peak effect as a function of field. For H'I , R(H) increases monotonically with increasing field. The resul...

Carboranes. B9-functionalized carboranylphosphines with bulky electron-donating substituents display an extremely electron-releasing character, as reported by Evamarie Hey-Hawkins et al. in their Research Article (e202218648). The compounds exert a high steric demand, which allows the mesityl derivatives to form stabilized phosphoniumyl radical cations.

Cage-like and core-shell metallo-borospherenes exhibit interesting structures bonding. Based on extensive global searches first-principles theory calculations, we predict herein the perfect tetrahedral cage-like Td La4B24 (1) La4B29 (2), La4B29+ (3), La4B29− (4) which all possess same geometrical symmetry as their carbon fullerene counterpart C28, with four equivalent interconnected B6 triangle...

pim1-d1ts was previously identified in a visual screen for fission yeast mutants unable to complete the mitosis-to-interphase transition. pim1+ encodes the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the spi1 GTPase. Perturbations of this GTPase system by either mutation or overproduction of its regulatory proteins cause cells to arrest with postmitotic condensed chromosomes, an unreplicated g...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been implicated in promoting solid tumor growth and metastasis via stimulating tumor-associated angiogenesis. Models of murine tumor angiogenesis and receptor-specific antibodies are required to evaluate roles of VEGF receptors in mouse models of human cancer. Human VEGFR2 (also known as KDR) and murine VEGFR2 (or Flk-1) share 85%...
