Self-alignment of thermally reduced graphene sheets (TRG) that enable highly efficient heat transfer paths in their poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO)-based nanocomposite films along the in-plane direction was achieved for the first time without any assistance of an external magnetic or an electric field. In the in-plane direction, the nanocomposite films possess an ultra-high thermal diff...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anxiolytic efficacy, and speed of onset of efficacy, of pregabalin (PGB) and venlafaxine-XR (VXR) in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). In this double-blind trial, outpatients, ages 18-65 years, who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, criteria for GAD were randomized to 8 weeks of flexible-dose tr...

Mefenacet, Monooxygenase, Safener, Antagonism, Induction The monooxygenase suicide inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PBO) antagonizes the inhibitory activity of the herbicide mefenacet in a root regeneration test system with etiolated cut oat stems. When studying the behaviour of [l4C]mefenacet [2-(2-benzothiazolyloxy)-N-methylN-phenylacetamide] in cut oat stems that had been pretreated with PBO fo...

A study was conducted to determine the release rates of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and permethrin from synergized insecticidal cattle ear tags and their effects on mortality of the horn fly, Hematobia irritans irritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae). PBO was released from the ear tags at a higher rate than permethrin in both winter and summer trials. The cumulative release of PBO and permethrin from th...

A B S T R A C T The non-stoichiometry of the perovskite (ABO3)-type phase in the system PbO-TiO2-Nd203 has been studied. Monophasic compounds of composition Pbl_~xNdxTiO3+x( 1 5_e) with x ~ 0.21 and 0.09 ~ e ~ 1.5 were prepared. The'zerroelectric Curie temperature (T c) shows a decrease of 18.5 K/at% Nd with increasing value of x. T c shows an increase of 3.5 K/mol % PbO with decreasing value o...

INTRODUCTION Delayed-release dimethyl fumarate (DMF; also known as gastro-resistant DMF) demonstrated clinical and neuroradiologic efficacy and safety in the Phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM trials, and in the extension study (ENDORSE), in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This post hoc analysis assessed DMF efficacy in newly diagnosed patients with RRMS with 6-year minimum...

Haplotype inference has relevant biological applications, and represents a challenging computational problem. Among others, pure parsimony provides a viable modeling approach for haplotype inference and provides a simple optimization criterion. Alternative approaches have been proposed for haplotype inference by pure parsimony (HIPP), including branch and bound, integer programming and, more re...

amitraz is one of the pesticides which is used in a vast area for controlling of the common pistachio psyllid, agonoscena pistaciae (hem.: aphalaridae). in this study the synergistic effect of piperonyl butoxide (pbo) on the toxicity of amitraz on adults of rafsanjan population of common pistachio psyllid was evaluated by residual contact vial (rcv) in laboratory conditions. the results showed ...

To examine the possible modifying effect of the extract of Siraitia grosvenori (SGE), a naturally occurring antioxidative agent, on piperonyl butoxide (PBO)-promoted hepatocarcinogenesis, male F344 rats were administered a single intraperitoneal injection of N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as an initiator followed by administration of a diet containing 2% PBO for 7 weeks with or without SGE (1,000 p...

Background: We examined the acute effect of a red spinach extract (RSE) (1000 mg dose; ~90 mg nitrate (NO− 3 )) on performance markers during graded exercise testing (GXT). Methods: For this randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled, crossover study, 15 recreationally-active participants (aged 23.1 ± 3.3 years; BMI: 27.2 ± 3.7 kg/m2) reported >2 h post-prandial and performed GXT 65–75 ...
