We present deep BV RI CCD photometry of the stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy SagDIG. The color-magnitude diagrams of the measured stars in SagDIG show a blue plume which consists mostly of young stellar populations, and a well-defined red giant branch (RGB). The foreground reddening of SagDIG is estimated to be E(B − V ) = 0.06. The tip of the RGB is found to be at ITRGB = 21.55 ± 0.10 mag. ...

Background and Objectives: Canola oil is very low in saturated fatty acid (~8 %), which makes it suitable for application as dressing for salad. Canola oil is liquid, thus its application in the production of margarine and shortening is limited. The present study provides information about the effects of monoacylglycerols (MAG) as the structuring agent on physical, microstructure and rheologica...

Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a potent inhibitor of axonal regeneration. It contains five Ig-like domains and is a sialic binding protein. Previously, we showed that the sialic acid binding site on MAG maps to arginine 118 in Ig domain 1 (Kelm et al., 1994). However, sialic acid binding was neither necessary nor sufficient for MAG to bring about inhibition of neurite outgrowth. Consis...

جوشکاری قوسی تنگستن – گاز یکی از فرایندهای مهم جوشکاری در صنعت می باشد که از الکترود غیر مصرفی تنگستن برای جوشکاری استفاده می کند. این روش برای جوشکاری قطعات نازک فولادهای ضد زنگ و فلزات غیر آهنی از قبیل آلومینیوم، منیزیم و آلیاژهای مس به کار برده می شود. در این تحقیق با طراحی و ساخت یک بازوی جوشکاری اتوماتیک که سرعت جوشکاری آن بوسیله میکرو کنترلر کنترل می شود در شرایط مختلف جوشکاری مانند انواع...

The IgM monoclonal autoantibodies of patients with demyelinating paraproteinaemic polyneuropathy recognize a carbohydrate structure present on both myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and protein zero (P0). These autoantibodies are sufficient to cause the disease but the mechanism of demyelination remains unclear. We have analysed nerve biopsies from eight patients with polyneuropathy and anti...

The acyl migration kinetics of neat 2-monoacylglycerol (2-MAG) to form 1-MAG was determined using H NMR spectroscopy to monitor the b-proton integration ratios of the two species over time. 2-MAG was synthesized by the Novozym 435-catalyzed alcoholysis of soybean oil and isolated by solvent extraction or molecular distillation at a mole fraction (X2-MAG) of 0.94 relative to total MAG. The kinet...

Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a major component of myelin in the vertebrate central nervous system. MAG is present in the periaxonal region of the myelin structure, where it interacts with neuronal proteins to inhibit axon outgrowth and protect neurons from degeneration. Two alternatively spliced isoforms of Mag mRNA have been identified. The mRNA encoding the shorter isoform, known a...

White matter ischemia is difficult to quantify histologically. Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is highly susceptible to ischemia, being expressed only adaxonally, far from the oligodendrocyte cell body. Myelin-basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) are expressed throughout the myelin sheath. We compared MAG, MBP, and PLP levels in parietal white matter homogenates from 17 vascul...

We report deep near-infrared and optical observations of the X-ray point source in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, CXO J232327.9+584842. We have identified a J = 21.4 ± 0.3 mag and K s = 20.5 ± 0.3 mag source within the 1-σ error circle, but we believe this source is a foreground Pop II star with T eff = 2600–2800 K at a distance of ≈ 2 kpc, which could not be the X-ray point source. We do ...
