Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a crucial signalling role in variety of physiological systems, existing as the hydrosulfide anion (HS−) at pH. Combining potency halogen bonding (XB) for recognition water with coumarin fluorophore incorporation acyclic host structural design, first XB receptors to bind and, more importantly, sense pure reversible chemosensing fashion are demonstrated. The exhibit c...

AIM The aim of this study was to assess levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in South Indian subjects with and without MS and among MS subjects with and without insulin resistance (IR). METHODOLOGY From the population-based Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study, 334 subjec...

CENTRAL TO THE INTEGRITY OF all organisms is the recognition of what is in (me) and what is out (not me). Many membranebased activities are required to keep what is “me” differentiated and protected from what is “not me”. Recognition of this difference between inside and outside and the importance of the regulatory processes needed to maintain the internal environment of the cell and extracellu...

Radio Active Galactic Nuclei (RAGNs) are mainly found in dense structures (i.e., clusters/groups) at redshifts of z$<$2 and commonly used to detect protoclusters higher redshift. Here, we attempt study the host environmental properties two relatively faint ($\mathrm L_\mathrm{1.4GHz} \sim10^{25}$ W Hz$^{-1}$) RAGNs a known protocluster z=3.3 PCl J0227-0421 field, detected using latest radio obs...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a recently identified gasotransmitter that may mediate hypoxic responses in vascular smooth muscle. H2S also appears to be a signaling molecule in mammalian non-vascular smooth muscle, but its existence and function in non-mammalian non-vascular smooth muscle have not been examined. In the present study we examined H2S production and its physiological effects in urinar...

and Introduction: Tin monosulfide (SnS) thin films have generated much interest in recent years due to their potential application as an absorber layer in thin film photovoltaic cells [1]. Thus, the goal of this project was to improve the quality of SnS films through various methods of heat-treatment by means of grain growth, a reduction in bulk defects, and increased carrier mobility, which ca...

The significance of the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is unclear. Troponin-T and hs-CRP levels were measured before PCI, after stenting, and 8 h, 24 h, and 30 days after the procedure in 68 consecutive patients who received bare-metal stents. The study endpoints were death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and the need for revasc...

two facile and low cost routes were used for the synthesis of if-ws2 nanoparticles. in this paper, preparation of if-ws2 nanoparticles with two different methods was investigated. in the first method, wo3 nanoparticles were reacted with h2s gas in n2/h2 reducing atmosphere at 900 oc. the as-synthesized if-ws2 nanoparticles are spherical shape with an average size of about 70 nm.  in the second ...

Preliminary communication The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a certain time of day may be more or less catabolic or anabolic than another and therefore of greater adaptive potential after exercise. Eighteen male university students volunteered to participate in the study. Salivary specimens were collected every 60 min over a 12 h waking period and then measured with the Sal...

There is significant interest in development of efficient catalyst-sorbents for the capture and conversion of sulfur-compounds such as H2S and SO2. In this work, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques have been used to carefully prepare and thoroughly characterize amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films as models of activated carbon sorbents. Films with modified surface chemistries were prepared by oxida...
