Background:   H2-EB1 molecule which is the homolog of Human HLA-DRB1 is proposed to be associated with allergic rhinitis (AR). Construction of   H2-Eb1 knockout animal models provides a tool to elucidate the role of H2-EB1 and AR pathogenesis. Objective:   To establish the H2-Eb1 knockout model and investigate the H2-EB1 functions in   H2-Eb1 knockout mice as a model of AR. Methods: The Cre/Lox...

The form of the ignition branch for steady, counterflow, hydrogen-oxygen diffusion flames, with dilution permitted in both streams, is investigated for two-step reduced chemistry by methods of bifurcation theory. Attention is restricted to fuel-stream temperatures less than or equal to the oxidizer-stream temperature Tx and to T„ larger than or of the order of the crossover temperature Tc at wh...

The membrane-bound hydrogenase from the anaerobic sulphate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (Norway strain) has been purified to homogeneity, with an overall 80-fold purification and a specific activity of 70,umol of H2 evolved/min per mg of protein. The hydrogenase had a relative molecular mass of 58000 as determined by gel filtration and was estimated to contain six iron atoms a...

Importance Despite its high heritability, few risk genes have been identified for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Brain-based phenotypes could aid gene discovery. There is a myriad of structural and functional connections that support cognition. Disruption of such connectivity is a key pathophysiologic mechanism for ADHD, and identifying heritable phenotypes within these connec...

The coordination of the electronic ground states of Fe+ (6D) and FeO+ (6x+) has been investigated in the gas phase with the inorganic molecules H2, HD, D2, H20, CO, NO, N2, 02, C02, N02, and N20. Reaction rate coefficients and product distributions were measured with the Selected-Ion Flow Tube (SIFT) technique operating at 294 f 3 K and a helium buffer-gas pressure of 0.35 f 0.01 Torr. Except w...

mfi-type zeolite membranes (zsm-5) were prepared on α-alumina tubular supports and tested for separation of h2/co mixtures. the effect of pressure and temperature on h2 and co flows and selectivity was investigated. the best results in this work were obtained with a zsm-5 membrane prepared over a porous α-alumina tube seeded with zeolite nanocrystals synthesized with microwave technique. in thi...

To estimate the heritability (h2) of postrigor calpastatin activity (CA), 555 steers were reared and processed conventionally. Breed-types included purebreds (Angus [A], Braunvieh [B], Charolais [C], Gelbvieh [G], Hereford [H], Limousin [L], Pinzgauer [P], Red Poll [RP], and Simmental [S]), composite populations (MARC I [1/4 C, 1/4 B, 1/4 L, 1/8 H, 1/8 A], MARC II [1/4 S, 1/4 G, 1/4 H, 1/4 A], ...

A brief review on plasma-processes used in biomedical applications is presented, along with results obtained by our group on the plasma-grafting of chemical functionalities onto polymers. RF Glow Discharges in NH3M2 and 02/H2O/H2'feeds have been utilized for grafting nitrogen(e.g. -MI2) and oxygen-containing (e.g. -OH, -COOH) functionalities onto polymers in a reproducible, controlled, selectiv...
