ion) Same as F20 612F. First-year MFAs (only) register for F20 512F. This course examines strategies of abstraction and nonobjective image-making that originate in the painting studio, including those that are driven by concept, material, space and/ or process. Readings and discussion will examine the evolution and history of abstraction and its present applications within a contemporary studio...

Random heptapeptide library displayed by bacteriophage T7 was used to characterize epitopes of five monoclonal antibodies that were specific to L. australis, L. bangkok, and L. bratislava. Phages selected by biopanning were cloned by plaque isolation, and the binding specificity of individual clones was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, before being further amplified and checked f...

Prion diseases are fatal, neurodegenerative illnesses caused by the accumulation of PrP(Sc), an aberrantly folded isoform of the normal, cellular prion protein. Detection of PrP(Sc) commonly relies on immunochemical methods, a strategy hampered by the lack of Abs specific for this disease-causing isoform. In this article, we report the generation of eight mAbs against prion protein (PrP) follow...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether joint lavage, viscosupplementation and triamcinolone improve joint pain, function and quality of life in patients with severe hemophilic arthropathy. METHODS Fourteen patients with knee and/or ankle hemophilic arthritis with and without involvement of other joints underwent joint lavage and subsequent injection of hylan G-F20 and triamcinolone in all affected joint...

Preface The objective of the present work is to establish methods for dealing with on-wafer 3-port S-parameter measurements. Error correction methods including calibration and deembedding 1 are discussed and verified experimentally. Chapter 1 presents two basically different methods for making 3-port S-parameter measurements using a 2-port network analyzer. The methods are termed the renormaliz...

This research is focused on increasing the reliability of Fe-11Al-Mn by combining properties Mn and superiority Fe-Al-C under cryogenic temperature. Three alloys with compositions 15 wt % (F15), 20 (F20), 25 (F25) were investigated. The process uses liquid nitrogen in a temperature range 0–196 °C. Hardness testing using Vickers method SEM was used to analyze microstructure. X-ray diffraction (X...

The paper shows that interjurisdictional competition for mobile factors of production forces the government to raise the efficiency of the public sector and, thus, helps to tame Leviathan governments. However, this result is derived under some restrictive assumptions concerning the kind of tax policy used by the government. In the case of benefit taxes, e.g. user charges, a Leviathan may be tam...

A clone (F20) containing coding sequences for the cell adhesion molecule uvomorulin was isolated by immunological techniques from cDNA library in the expression vector lambda gt11. The beta-galactosidase-uvomorulin fusion protein was used to affinity purify anti-uvomorulin antibodies. Affinity-purified antibodies recognized uvomorulin from cell lysates of embryonal carcinoma cells and reacted w...

This paper examines the long-term behaviour of a discrete-time Footloose Capital model, where capitalists, who are themselves immobile between regions, move their physical capital between regions in response to economic incentives. The spatial location of industry can exhibit cycles of any periodicity or behave chaotically. Long-term behaviour is highly sensitive to transport costs and to the r...
