Relative 235 U(n,γ) and (n,f) cross sections from 235 U(d,pγ) and (d,pf) The internal surrogate ratio method allows for the determination of an unknown cross section, such as (n,γ), relative to a better-known cross section, such as (n,f), by measuring the relative exit-channel probabilities of a surrogate reaction that proceeds through the same compound nucleus. The validity of the internal sur...

Impairment in endothelial cell (EC) function plays a central role in vascular diseases (e.g. atherosclerosis, restenosis, diabetic angiopathies, microvascular angina, peripheral arterial disease). BRX-235 (a novel small molecule synthesized by Biorex, Hungary) has a potent vasculoprotective activity in different in vivo and in vitro studies. Since the importance of the p38 pathway in EC homeost...

ARD1 is present in various species and has several variants derived from alternative splicing of mRNA. Previously, we reported differential biological functions and cellular distributions of mouse ARD1 (mARD1) variants. However, in comparison to mARD1 variants, human ARD1 (hARD1) variants have been rarely studied. In this study, we characterized a hARD1 variant, hARD1(131) and investigated its ...

Spectrin is a major component of the mammalian neuronal cytoskeleton. In the CNS, three isoforms of brain spectrin are known to exist: a cellular and dendritic isoform, (240/235E), related to neurons and glia; a cellular and axonal isoform, (240/235), related to neurons; and an isoform specific for astrocytes, (240/235A). In the present study, brain spectrins (240/235E) and (240/235) were local...

Abstract Background The present systematic review aimed to summarise the available evidence on indications and oncological outcomes after MA IRE for stage III pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods A literature search was performed in Pubmed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS databases using PRISMA framework identify all studies. Results Nine studies with 235 locally advanced (LA) (82%, 192/235) or Borderline r...

High-temperature condensates found in meteorites display uranium isotopic variations ((235)U/(238)U), which complicate dating the solar system's formation and whose origin remains mysterious. It is possible that these variations are due to the decay of the short-lived radionuclide (247)Cm (t 1/2 = 15.6 My) into (235)U, but they could also be due to uranium kinetic isotopic fractionation during ...

We present the near-infrared and optical properties of the peculiar galaxy ESO 235-G58, which resembles a late-type ringed barred spiral seen close to face-on. However, the apparent bar of ESO 235-G58 is in reality an edge-on disk galaxy of relatively low luminosity. We have analyzed the light and color distributions of ESO 235-G58 in the NIR and optical bands and compared them with the typical...

We present near infrared broad band (J,H and K) and narrow band (H2 S(1) 1 → 0 and Brγ) images, and high resolution molecular observations (C34S(2-1), (3-2), (5-4) and 13CO(2-1)) around the highly variable H2O maser located between the S 235 A and B optical nebulosities. These observations are part of an on-going search for the sources of excitation of H2O masers in regions of star formation or...
