PURPOSE To establish neuronal connections in the rod and cone pathway between laminated rabbit retinal transplants and the host retina. METHODS Fourteen adult rabbits received a complete full-thickness embryonic transplant. After survival times of 3 to 10 months, the retinas were studied under light microscope and with immunohistochemistry. Antibodies against protein kinase C (PKC), parvalbum...

Allelic replacement in the Burkholderia genus has been problematic due to the lack of appropriate counter-selectable and selectable markers. The counter-selectable marker sacB, commonly used in gram-negative bacteria, is nonselective on sucrose in many Burkholderia species. In addition, the use of antibiotic resistance markers of clinical importance for the selection of desirable genetic traits...

Along with a brief overview of literature data on energy storage technologies utilising hydrogen and metal hydrides, this article presents results the related R&D activities carried out by authors. The focus is put proper selection hydride materials basis AB5- AB2-type intermetallic compounds for compression applications, based analysis PCT properties in systems H2 gas. also features integrated...

Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides presents distinct challenges which encourage the study of effective heat management strategies. absorption is an exothermic reaction, consequently generated must be removed effectively to achieve desired performance. This work a mathematical model describing adsorption hydrogen La Ni4.7Co0.3 hydride as material. Heat and mass transfer effects are modeled detai...
