Cn (calcineurin) activity is stabilized by SOD1 (Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase), a phenomenon attributed to protection from superoxide (O2*-). The effects of O2*- on Cn are still controversial. We found that O2*-, generated either in vitro or in vivo did not affect Cn activity. Yet native bovine, recombinant human or rat, and two chimaeras of human SOD1-rat SOD1, all activated Cn, but SOD2 (Mn-sup...

A series of M[Au(CN)(2)](2)(analyte)(x) coordination polymers (M = Co, Ni; analyte = dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), pyridine; x = 2 or 4) was prepared and characterized. Addition of analyte vapours to solid M(μ-OH(2))[Au(CN)(2)](2) yielded visible vapochromic responses for M = Co but not M = Ni; the IR ν(CN) spectral region changed in every case. A single crystal structu...

The smallest cardinality of an r-locating-dominating code in a cycle Cn of length n is denoted by M r (Cn). In this paper, we prove that for any r ≥ 5 and n ≥ nr when nr is large enough (nr = O(r3)) we have n/3 ≤ M r (Cn) ≤ n/3 + 1 if n ≡ 3 (mod 6) and M r (Cn) = n/3 otherwise. Moreover, we determine the exact values of M 3 (Cn) and M 4 (Cn) for all n.

The main goal of this paper is to propose a new practical method for hydrologic soil group estimation in surface runoff process based on geomorphology facieses and slop. The determination of CN based on this method can reduce the time and cost of project. In this research the upstream rivers of Glinak Watershed have been used as a case study to examine the efficiency of proposed method with a c...

For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G.We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n.In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ≤ 21 is soluble andthis estimate is sharp. Moreover, we prove that every finite Cn-group with|G| < 30n+1519 is non-nilpotent soluble. This result gives a partial answer to aconjecture raised by A. Ashrafi in ...

A combination of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) + cyanide (CN) is known to stimulate dark germination of Lactuca sativa L. seeds. Further studies were done to characterize SHAM and CN action in stimulating dark germination of lettuce seed. Germination was stimulated slightly by either SHAM or CN, whereas when SHAM and CN were combined germination was greatly enhanced. Treatment of seeds with ...

The porosity and hydrogen storage properties of the dehydrated Prussian blue type solids Ga[Co(CN)6], Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu), and Co3[Co(CN)5]2 are reported and compared to those of M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn). Nitrogen sorption measurements suggest partial framework collapse for M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Co, Ni) and Co3[Co(CN)5]2, and complete collapse for Mn2[Fe(...

Cranial nerve (CN) anomalies have been regarded as a major criterion for a clinical diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome for some time. However, there have been relatively few studies of the extent of this involvement. A detailed questionnaire (in French or English) was distributed to all physicians who participated in the 2001-2004 Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP), and who identified th...

The paper elaborates methodological basis of collaborative networks (CN) complex adaptation. We consider challenges and underlying principles of the CN complex adaptation. Subsequently, the DIMA-methodology of the integrated CN modeling is considered. The paper ends with the presentation of the fivelevel CN complex adaptation concept and summarizing DIMA-methodology application in the CN comple...

We consider the upper bounds of the finite block length capacity Cn,FB(P ) of the discrete time Gaussian channel with feedback. We prove the refinements of relations Cn(P ) ≤ Cn,FB(P ) ≤ Cn(P ) + 1 2 and Cn(P ) ≤ Cn,FB(P ) ≤ 2Cn(P ), which are given by Cover and Pombra. And we prove the relation C2(P ) ≤ C2,FB(P ) < C2(2P ), which is a partial solution of the conjecture given by Cover.
