The anionic detergent sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), in a final concentration of 0.1% and greater, reacted with whole serum in agar diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis to form artifactual precipitin lines. These lines occurred when either Ionagar or agarose was used as the supporting gel and were not affected by the presence of urea and 2-mercaptoethanol. Analytic chemical tests confirmed that th...

The kinetics and intricate interactions governing the growth of 3D single nanoparticle (NP) superlattices (SLs, SNSLs) and binary NP SLs (BNSLs) in solution are understood by combining controlled solvent evaporation and in situ, real-time small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). For the iron oxide (magnetite) NP SLs studied here, the larger the NP, the farther apart are the NPs when the SNSLs begin...

This study examined relationships between three dimensional (3D) pelvis, hip and knee biomechanical measures in a bodyweight single leg squat and those same measures in a drop landing and a pre-planned 75° cutting manoeuvre. 40 field sports players with chronic athletic groin pain were recruited. There were no significant (p > 0.05) correlations between hip and pelvis measures in the SLS and th...

tant issue in terms of the adoption of HALS. I feel HALS is very beneficial for some difficult cases of a right colectomy. Because of this, HALS is more difficult to standardize than SLS. The most important reason is that the location of the hand-port is mainly influenced by the operator’s dominant hand: right-handed or lefthanded. According to the operator’s dominant hand, the locations of the...

We investigate the symmetric and anti-symmetric spin-orbit forces (SLS and ALS) of the effective ΛN interaction derived from a quark cluster model with the instantoninduced interaction (I I I), which can reproduce the observed YN cross sections as well as the observed NN scattering data. It is found that coupling to the ΣN channel enhances ΛN ALS, and therefore that the cancellation between SLS...

Sjogren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is an inherited disorder associated with impaired fatty alcohol oxidation due to deficient activity of fatty alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase (FAO). FAO is a complex enzyme which consists of two separate proteins that sequentially catalyze the oxidation of fatty alcohol to fatty aldehyde and fatty acid. To determine which enzymatic component of FAO was deficient in SLS...

The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes secretes a highly cytolytic toxin known as streptolysin S (SLS). SLS is a key virulence determinant and responsible for the beta-hemolytic phenotype of these bacteria. Despite over a century of research, the chemical structure of SLS remains unknown. Recent experiments have revealed that SLS is generated from an inactive precursor peptide that undergoes...

We study a framework called BC SLS for a novel type of stochastic local search (SLS) for propositional satisfiability (SAT). Aimed specifically at solving real-world SAT instances, the approach works directly on a non-clausal structural representation for SAT. This allows for don’t care detection and justification guided search heuristics in SLS by applying the circuit-level SAT technique of ju...

Strigolactones are a novel class of plant hormones produced in roots that regulate shoot and root development. We previously reported that strigolactone analogs (SLs) induce G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a variety of human cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth of human breast cancer xenografts in mice. SLs had no significant influences on non-transformed cells. Here we report for the ...

Using animal models, we have examined the effects in the eye of one of the detergents, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), that is included in soaps and shampoos. We also have determined how SLS is taken up by the eye. Four findings have ensued: first, SLS is rapidly taken up and accumulated by eye tissues. SLS is retained for up to five days in most eye tissues. Second, SLS uptake is greater in young...
