In the US, more people are diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) than any other cancer, but treatment of advanced tumors is frequently complicated by drug resistance. Interestingly, 20-29% human BCC reported to shrink spontaneously in absence through an unknown mechanism. With case studies suggesting a role for immune activation this tumor regression, we hypothesize that T cells recruited g...

The affinities of typical and atypical benzodiazepines (BZs) for 3H-flunitrazepam (FLU) and 3H-Ro 5-4864, "peripheral" BZ, binding sites in the central nervous system (CNS) were compared. Each dissociation constant (Kd) value of the 3H-FLU binding sites in the cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus and spinal cord showed the similar results, although the binding maximum (Bmax) for the cortex and cereb...

Optical emission ~OE! actinometry has been used to measure the absolute densities of Cl2, Cl, Cl , and Ar in a high-density inductively coupled ~ICP! Cl2 –Ar plasma at 18 mTorr as a function of the 13.56 MHz radio frequency ~rf! power and Ar fraction. The fractional dissociation of Cl2 to Cl increases with rf power, with the dissociated fraction increasing from 78% to 96% at 600 W ~10.6 W cm! a...

The 11th magnitude star LS IV−083 has been classified previously as an OB star in the Luminous Stars survey, or alternatively as a hot subdwarf. It is actually a binary star. We present spectroscopy, spectroscopic orbital elements, and time series photometry, from observations made at the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1m, Steward Observatory 2.3m, MDMObservatory 1.3m and 2.4m, Hobby-Eberly 9...

This chapter presents the study and evaluation of luminescent down shifting (LDS) layers doped with organic dyes their compatibility different types solar cells. In this study, commercial in Lumogen-F series (BASF) Violet 570, Orange 240, Red 300, Yellow 083, 170 were considered for analysis. It was found that while fulfil important characteristics materials LDS such as high photoluminescent qu...

This paper employs the solution-doping technique for fabrication of polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with two perylene derivatives, Lumogen Yellow 083 and Red 305, in different combinations. With is very easy to control amount dopant penetration into core non-doped uncladded fibers, allowing active POFs a novel ring-doped structure. In addition manufacturing these have also been optically ch...
