Considering that the determination of chromogranin levels in the blood for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma will provide clinically useful information, an attempt was made to establish the serological assay system for blood chromogranin, and also chromogranin levels in the blood of normal subjects, patients with essential hypertension and a patient with pheochromocytoma were studied. Chromogra...

Phage phi 29 DNA cannot be phosphorylated with polynucleotide kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP because of the presence of a viral protein covalently linked to the 5' termini. The 5' ends can, however, be made susceptible to phosphorylation by treatment with alkali and alkaline phosphatase. Restriction fragments Hpa II C and Hpa II F, corresponding to the right and left ends of phi 29 DNA, respectively...

We prove sharp regularity estimates for solutions of obstacle type problems driven by a class degenerate fully nonlinear operators. More specifically, we consider viscosity \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} |D u|^\gamma F(x, D^2u)& = & f(x)\chi_{\{u>\phi\}} \ \rm{ in } B_1 \\ u(x) \geq \phi(x) g(x) \rm{on \partial B_1, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*}...

Abstract We deal with multiplicity of solutions to the following Schrödinger-Poisson-type system in this article: Δ H u −</m:mo...

Phosphite (Phi), a phloem-mobile oxyanion of phosphorous acid (H(3)PO(3)), protects plants against diseases caused by oomycetes. Its mode of action is unclear, as evidence indicates both direct antibiotic effects on pathogens as well as inhibition through enhanced plant defense responses, and its target(s) in the plants is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the biotrophic oomycete Hyaloperonosp...

Let G be a locally compact group, 1 < p < ∞ and let ω be a weight function on G. Recently, we introduced the Lebesgue weighted L−algebra L ω (G). Here, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for L ω (G) to be φ−contractible, pseudo-contractible or contractible. Moreover we give some similar results about L(G,ω).
