In this paper we will study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane in the background of N BPS Dk-branes.

C a r c o t i s c o n s i d e r e d t h e father of neurology. Not so much appreciated are his contributions t o m e d i c i n e a n d rheumatology. In fact he has been considered o n e o f t h e m o s t influential physicians of all time. Charcot was born on 29th November 1825 in Paris. His father was a carriage builder. He could support higher e d u c a t i o n o f o n l y one of his four son...

In November 1825, the exact date is not recorded, a group of gentlemen met in the Savile Row house of an ambitious young man of Anglo-Italian extraction, Augustus Bozzi Granville, and resolved to form an Obstetric Society to procure, by legislation, the regulation of the obstetric profession, both male and female.1 Man-midwifery was by then an important element of the stock-in-trade of the surg...

Ascorbate (AH, the reduced form of vitamin C) is an important radical scavenger and antioxidant in human plasma; the resulting ascorbyl radical can disproportionate to AH and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). Here we address potential maintenance mechanism(s) for extracellular AH by examining the ability of cells to convert extracellularly presented DHA to AH. DHA was rapidly transported into human l...

With the realization in 1940 (1) that structural analogues of a metabolite frequently prevent utilization of that metabolite, it became possible to develop antimetabolites which block specific biosynthetic pathways. By blocking various steps in a biosynthetic pathway, antimetabolites are useful for elucidating intermediary metabolism. It was the object of the present study to investigate the bi...

A new antiherpetic agent, AH-758, was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. strain No. 758. The structure was determined by NMR special analyses to be a new antibiotic belonging to bafilomycin group containing (5-oxo-2-pyrrolin-2-yl) methyl fumarate in its C-21.

Let φ(x1, . . . , xh, y) = u1x1 + · · · + uhxh + vy be a linear form with nonzero integer coefficients u1, . . . , uh, v. Let A = (A1, . . . , Ah) be an h-tuple of finite sets of integers and let B be an infinite set of integers. Define the representation function associated to the form φ and the sets A and B as follows: R (φ) A,B (n) = card ({(a1, . . . , ah, b) ∈ A1 × · · · × Ah × B : φ(a1, ....

AIM The purpose of this study was to determine whether AH 26 and AH Plus have in vitro oestrogenic effects. METHODOLOGY MCF-7 breast cancer cells were trypsinized and plated in 24-well plates at initial concentrations of 10,000 cells per well in 5% FBS in DME. Cells were allowed to attach for 24 h; then the seeding medium was replaced with 10% CDHuS-supplemented phenol red-free DME. Different...
