ECP (eosinophil cationic protein) is a major component of eosinophil granule proteins, and is used as a clinical biomarker for asthma and allergic inflammatory disease. ECP has been implicated in damage to the cell membrane of many tissue types, but the mechanism is not well known. In the present study, mECP-eGFP-6H, a recombinant fusion protein containing mature ECP (mECP), enhanced green fluo...

Schoolyards are recognized as important settings for physical activity interventions during recess. However, varying results have been reported. This pilot study was conducted to gain in-depth knowledge of children's physical activity behavior during recess using a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative GPS and accelerometer measurements with qualitative go-along group interviews and par...

We have systematically studied reconstructions of the 6H SiC(0001) and (0007) surface under both Si rich and C rich condition using field ion-scanning tunneling microscopy (FI-STM). The sample was cleaned by in situ Si beam etching at 900-1000 'C. The Si rich and C rich phases were produced by annealing the sample in a Si flm and C2HZ, respectively. On the (0001) surface, the as-cleaned surface...

4-Amino-6-methyl- 1,2,4-triazine-3(2H)-thione-5-0ne (1) was condensed with propargyl bromidein the presence of sodium rnethoxide to afford 3-propargylmercapto- 4-arnino-6-rnethyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one(2) . Transformation of the latter to 8-dihydro- 3-methyl-7-methylene-4-oxo-6H-[1,2,4]TRIAZINO [3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazine (3) was performed under the condition of palladium (II) salt. Ring closu...

The minimization of electronics makes heat dissipation related devices an increasing challenge. When the size materials is smaller than phonon mean free paths, phonons transport without internal scatterings and laws diffusive thermal conduction fail, resulting in significant reduction effective conductivity. This work reports, for first time, temperature dependent conductivity doped epitaxial 6...

We performed comparative studies of radiation-induced interface trap generation at n-6H-SiC/SiO2 and Si/SiO2 interfaces for high doses of low energy x-rays in the range 0 to 200 Mrad (Si). We found that radiation-induced interface trap generation at the n-6H-SiC/SiO2 interface is much lower than at the Si/SiO2 interface. The experiments provide evidence of interface trap generation near the SiC...

A sintese de dois complexos de EDTA heterobimetalicos, MgCu(EDTA).6H 2 O e ZnCu(EDTA).6H 2 O, foi descrita. Ambos foram caracterizados por espectroscopia vibracional (infravermelho e Raman) e eletrônica (reflectância). Alguns testes de dissolução em HCl 0.1 mol L e em suco gastrico artificial foram tambén efetuados. Os resultados indicam o uso potencial desses complexos de cobre como suplemento...

A number of 4-aryl- and 4-alkynyl-substituted 6H-1,2-oxazines 8 and 9 have been prepared in good yields via cross coupling reactions of halogenated precursors 2, which in turn are easily accessible by bromination of 6H-1,2-oxazines 1. Lewis-acid promoted reaction of 1,2-oxazine 9c with 1-hexyne provided alkynyl-substituted pyridine derivative 12 thus demonstrating the potential of this approach...
