Previously we cloned the human macrophage apolipoprotein B-48 receptor (ApoB-48R) and documented its expression in human atherosclerotic foam cells (1). Now we have identified and characterized the murine macrophage apob-48r cDNA gene sequence and its chromasomal location. The cDNA (3,615 bp) -deduced amino acid (aa) sequence (942 aa) is 45% identical to the human macrophage APOB-48R, but not t...

Forty-three new species of Nesticidae are described from China, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Madagascar, and two new junior synonyms are suggested. A new genus, Speleoticusgen. n., is described with Nesticus navicellatus Liu & Li, 2013 as the type species, and four species are transferfed from Nesticus, i.e., Speleoticus globosus (Liu & Li, 2013), comb. n., Speleotic...

Successful long-term management of primary gout in the presence of normal renal function may be achieved in most instances by agents which diminish tubular reabsorption of urates, thus permitting increased urinary urate excretion. In recent years the two most widely used uricosuric agents have been probenecid and sulphinpyrazone. The easiest longterm control of gout with the fewest untoward sid...

ICRF-193, a novel noncleavable, complex-stabilizing type topoisomerase (topo) II inhibitor, has been shown to target topo II in mammalian cells (Ishida, R., T. Miki, T. Narita, R. Yui, S. Sato, K. R. Utsumi, K. Tanabe, and T. Andoh. 1991. Cancer Res. 51:4909-4916). With the aim of elucidating the roles of topo II in mammalian cells, we examined the effects of ICRF-193 on the transition through ...

I magine a software assistant agent (AA) that proactively provides relevant concise personalized information to an analyst or first responder and collaborates with other AAs to share knowledge and arrange person-to-person contact. The following descriptive scenario provides an example application of this concept. A report of an explosion at a chemical plant is received by a homeland security (H...

-A broad-band acoustic emission detection system has been used to record the transient surface displacements due to the release of elastic waves during deformation and fracture of EN3OA. a low-alloy steel. Acoustic emission signals were recorded from material tested in the quenched, tempered and temper-embrittled conditions: Tests were also performed upon material which had been hydrogen charge...
