Owing of their accessibility and wide range reactivities, alkynes make for fascinating building blocks. Either a selective alkyne carbon-carbon triple bond reaction or activation the terminal C-H may be employed to functionalize them. Monocationic coinage metal complexes with d10 electronic configuration are effective catalysts activation. Silver(I) gold(I) N-heterocyclic (NHC) systems emerging...

Little is known about the repertoire of MAGE-A3 CD4(+) T-cell epitopes recognized in vivo by neoplastic patients and how antigen processing influences epitope formation. Here, we first show that MAGE-A3-specific CD4(+) T cells are present in the blood of advanced melanoma patients. MAGE-A3(111-125), MAGE-A3(191-205), and MAGE-A3(281-300) were recognized by 7, 6, and 5 of the 11 patients tested,...

Done all A–1 Determine, with proof, the number of ordered triples (A1, A2, A3) of sets which have the property that (i) A1 ∪A2 ∪A3 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, and (ii) A1 ∩A2 ∩A3 = ∅. Express your answer in the form 2357, where a, b, c, d are nonnegative integers. Solution: For each integer i from 1 to 10 you must put i in one of 6 sets: A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 or A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 or A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 or A1...

In this paper we show that del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 with Du Val singular points of type A4, A4 + A4, A4 + A3, A4 + 2A1, A4 + A1, A3 + 4A1, A3 + 3A1, 2A3 + 2A1, A3 + 2A1, A3 + A1, 2A3, A3, admit a Kähler-Einstein metric. Moreover we are going to compute global log canonical thresholds of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 with Du Val singularities, and of del Pezzo surfaces of Picard group Z w...

Urea has a critical role in urinary concentration. Mice lacking the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) urea transporter A1 (UT-A1) and urea transporter A3 (UT-A3) have very low levels of urea permeability and are unable to concentrate urine. To investigate the role of UT-A1 in the concentration of urine, we transgenically expressed UT-A1 in knockout mice lacking UT-A1 and UT-A3 using a cons...

This work presents a class of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-driven radio frequency filters in the X-band. The X-band center frequencies are achieved by resorting to third-order antisymmetric Lamb wave mode (A3) 650-nm-thick Z-cut lithium niobate thin film. A novel bandwidth (BW) widening technique based on using self-inductance top interdigital transducers and bus lines is proposed over...

O2-activated bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase has been examined by dual-mode EPR spectrometry. Resonances have been observed at g = 10 and 4.5 in the parallel mode and at g = 10, 5, 1.8 and 1.7 in the normal mode. The bulk of these signals are interpreted to come from a stoichiometric S = 2 system with magnitude of a = 0.17 cm-1, D = +2.1 cm-1, magnitude of E = 0.026 cm-1, g = 2. Exchange coup...

Adenosine plays an important role in regulation of renal microcirculation. All receptors of adenosine, A1, A2A, A2B, and A3, have been found in the kidney. However, little is known about the location and function of the A3 receptor in the kidney. The present study determined the expression and role of A3 receptors in mediating the afferent arteriole (Af-Art) response and studied the interaction...
