Porcine factor XI and activated factor XI were purified by the introduction of affinity chromatography on high molecular mass kininogen. On the affinity chromatography, it was observed that high affinity exists between porcine factor XI and high molecular mass kininogen. In the preparation, however, factor XII, plasma prekallikrein and high molecular mass kininogen were not detected. The factor...

Background: Ovarian cortex xenotransplantation into immunodeficient rats is a follicles protection method in rare animals and investigation on folliclogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gonadotropin and erythropoietin (EPO) treatment on follicular development in the transplanted ovaries. Materials and Methods: Prepared sheep ovarian cortical strips were vitrified by c...

We propose a new scenario of neutrino masses with a Higgs triplet (xi(++),xi(+),xi(0)) in a theory of large extra dimensions. Lepton number violation in a distant brane acts as the source of a very small trilinear coupling of xi to the standard Higgs doublet in our brane. Small realistic Majorana neutrino masses are naturally obtained with the fundamental scale M(*) approximately O(1) TeV, fore...

|r(xi + ex)− r(xi)| ≤M2 ‖ex‖ , |fx(xi + ex)− fx(xi)| ≤M3 ‖ex‖ for some positive number M1,M2, and M3. ri (xi), E(si|xi), fx(xi) are p-th order differentiable and the p-th order derivatives are bounded.

Factor XI is a plasma glycoprotein that is required for contact activation initiated fibrin formation in vitro and for normal hemostasis in vivo. In preparation for developing a mouse model of factor XI deficiency to facilitate investigations into this protease's contributions to coagulation, we cloned the complementary DNA for murine factor XI, expressed the protein in a mammalian expression s...

In an adaptive grid, the physics of the problem at hand must ultimately direct the grid points to distribute themselves so that a functional relationship on these points can represent the physical solution with sufficient accuracy. The idea is to have the grid points move as the physical solution develops, concentrating in regions of large variation in the solution as they emerge. The mathemati...

We prove Pf ( xi − xj (xi + xj) ) 1≤i,j≤2n = ∏ 1≤i<j≤2n xi − xj xi + xj · Hf ( 1 xi + xj ) 1≤i,j≤2n (and its variants) by using complex analysis. This identity can be regarded as a Pfaffian–Hafnian analogue of Borchardt’s identity and as a generalization of Schur’s identity.

Given a sequence of variables X = 〈x0, x1, . . . , xn−1〉, we consider the IncreasingSum constraint, which imposes ∀i ∈ [0, n − 2] xi ≤ xi+1, and ∑ xi∈X xi = s. We propose an Θ(n) bound-consistency algorithm for IncreasingSum.
