A high-pressure liquid chromatographic assay was developed for the detection of HR 810 in rabbit plasma. There was no interference in the high-pressure liquid chromatographic assay from other antibiotics. The method was accurate, reproducible, and capable of detecting less than 1 microgram of HR 810 per ml in plasma. The assay correlated with the microbiological assay (correlation coefficient, ...

Lysine maize (Zea mays), LY038, was developed through the application of modern biotechnology to accumulate free Lys in the germ portion of maize grain and provide an alternative to direct addition of supplemental Lys to poultry diets. Maize LY038 x MON 810 was produced by conventional breeding of LY038 with MON 810, which provides the corn plant protection against feeding damage from the Europ...

The fish family Cichlidae has a large diversity and dominates African freshwater bodies, with over 200 species reported in inland waters. Sampling for the fish Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus) in Opa reservoir, Nigeria, started in October 1997 and extended until February 2000. The fishing methods employed for collecting the 1 430 specimens were cast netting and gillnetting. Egg diameter varied ...

Combined QM/MM calculations of an activesite of Cytochrome P450cam have been performed, before and after a binding process of Cytochrome P450cam to Putidaredoxin. The calculations have been carried out for two coordination spheres of the heme active-site of Cytochrome P450cam, namely a 5-coordinated, and a 6coordinated system of this protein having a water molecule as a 6th ligand. An experimen...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a growing health concern effecting civilians and military personnel. Research has yielded a better understanding of the pathophysiology of TBI, but effective treatments have not been forthcoming. Near-infrared light (NIR) has shown promise in animal models of both TBI and stroke. Yet, it remains unclear if sufficient photonic energy can be delivered to the human ...

OBJECTIVE The effects of wound healing acceleration on diabetic rats were determined and compared using different laser wavelengths and incident doses. BACKGROUND DATA Many studies have demonstrated that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can promote the wound healing on non-diabetic animals. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Streptozotocin (70 mg/kg) was applied for diabetes inductio...

We report on thermally resilient planar waveguides fabricated nc-YSZ by direct fs-laser inscription in transparent nc-yttria stabilized zirconia (nc-YSZ) polycrystalline ceramic. The consisted of rectangular sections (4.5 × 2 mm ) the surface sample. Optical characterization at 633 and 810 nm was performed. estimate a laser-induced refractive index contrast 10 –4 .

The objective of this study was to investigate the regression relations between vegetation indices derived from remotely-sensed data of single and mixed forest regeneration plots. Loblolly pine (Pinos faeda L.J seedlings, sweelgum (Liquidambar sfyraciflua L.) seedlings and broomsedge (Andropogon virginiws L.) grass were arranged in a factorial combination addition series experiment and replicat...
