We report experimental evidence for the loss of neutral C, C2, C3, and C4 from photoexcited c60 and C70. These species are detected by postionization with XUV radiation formed by four-wave mixing in Kr vapor. The fragments have been detected in the nascent distribution (i.e., before total disintegration of the fullerene-size molecular entities). A resonant autoionization transition in C atom ha...

In this project, we began with a serial plus OpenMP implementation of a multigrid method to solve Poisson’s equation in three dimensions. Our main goal was to parallelize this method using data-level parallelism and MPI. To this end, our primary goal was to extend the work of previous students by handling two and three dimensional data divisions. Beyond that, we sought to implement the fastest ...

Nascent high density lipoprotein (HDL) (1.063 less than d less than 1.21 g/ml) was isolated from recirculating rat liver perfusates and separated by heparin-Sepharose chromatography into a nonretained fraction (NR) and a fraction (R) that eluted with 0.5 M NaCl. Fractions NR and R contained 70% and 30% of the nascent HDL protein, respectively. ApoB-containing particles were removed from fractio...

The mutagenic activation of promutagens by human adult and fetal livers was investigated using the umu test system. Among the promutagens studied, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and 2-amino-3-methyl-imidazo[4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) were efficiently activated to mutagens by both adult and fetal livers. 7,8-Benzoflavone inhibited the activation of IQ by fetal livers, but the inhibition observed in fetal livers...

During the 2010s, Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. in eastern Baltic Sea experienced increasing infection loads of parasitic nematode Contracaecum osculatum (Rudolphi) their livers. Starting 2021, a mandatory part routine sampling protocol on monitoring surveys is to assign liver category individual livers, based number nematodes visible surface, follow spatiotemporal changes loads. The validity me...

The technic of isolated liver perfusion was used to study protein synthesis and amino acid catabolism in normal rat livers, rat livers undergoing azo dye carcinogenesis, and in regenerating rat livers. The results demonstrate that rat livers undergoing Carcinogenesis or regeneration have decreased catabolism of amino acids and increased synthesis of protein as compared with normal livers. Altho...

Background: Brain dead patients are the main source of organs for transplants. Brain death causes changes in peripheral organs. We define modifications of gene expression in specific pathways occurring in donor livers and their influence on gene expression profile of livers after transplant. Methods: We compared gene expression profile of both deceased donor livers and transplanted livers to ge...
