BACKGROUND An increase in the level of intracellular calcium activates the calcium-dependent neutral protease calpain, which in turn leads to cellular dysfunction and cell death after an insult to the central nervous system. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a calpain inhibitor, AK 295, on spinal cord structure, neurologic function, and apoptosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) in a muri...

The blazar 1156+295 was observed by VLBA and EVN + MERLIN at 5 GHz in June 1996 and February 1997 respectively. The results show that the jet of the source has structural oscillations on the milliarcsecond scale and turns through a large angle to the direction of the arcsecond-scale extension. A helical jet model can explain most of the observed properties of the radio structure in 1156+295.

The vibrational density of states DOS of hydrogen trapped at dislocations in deformed PdH0.0008 has been measured at 4 and 295 K with incoherent inelastic neutron scattering. The vibrational DOS at 4 K exhibits features characteristic of the low-temperature -Pd hydride phase while the characteristic peak in the 295 K DOS corresponds to the solid-solution -Pd phase. This is evidence of a → trans...

maceutical industry for production of fine drug particles with narrow size distribution, separation of active ingredients and preparation of microemulsions and sustained drug delivery systems. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is a very popular fluid for pharmaceutical applications, as it is nontoxic, non-flammable and of low cost. Furthermore, because of its low critical temperature and pr...

Acridine orange decreases the amplitude of the 295-nm circular dichroism (CD) trough of ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) where the trough has been related to coil character. Since acridine orange is known from earlier work to intercalate between base pairs of nucleic acids, causing an unwinding of the coil, and our studies show a decrease in the 295-nm CD trough, it appears that CD measurement...
