OBJECTIVE Hyaluronan (HA) is an important extracellular matrix component and is involved in fluid homeostasis, tissue repair, and response to infections. Previous studies have shown that supplementation of dialysis fluid with high molecular weight HA may have a positive impact on peritoneal solute and fluid transport characteristics. In the present study, we investigated the impact of HA on the...

The Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) survey is a long-term project aimed at finding and analyzing star-forming galaxies detected by their Ha emission in Schmidt objective-prism plates. The instrumental setup limits the volume of the universe surveyed to a redshift z = 0.045. So far we have discovered several hundred emission-line galaxies (ELGs) undergoing star formation at a wide range ...

A field experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) to find out possible effects of alternate wetting and drying irrigation (AWDI) on the yield, water use and water use efficiency (WUE) of Boro rice. The experimental layout was furnitured using split-plot design (SPD) with two modern varieties (MV) of rice viz. BRRIdhan 28 and BRRIdhan 29, which received four irriga...

in order to evaluate the effects of ethephon and nitrogen fertilizer on sweet sorghum cv. sofra, an experiment was conducted as split plot on a randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research station of isfahan university (isfahan, iran). experiment was conducted with four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg urea ha-1 from urea with 0, 46, 92 and 138 kg nit...

Yield and control of burrowing nematode disease Musa spp as affected by planting depth poultry manure rates soil organic amendment were studied in a 3x3x2 factorial experiment randomized complete block design with six replicates. The amendments applied two spp. was apllied at the rate 0 t/ha, 5 t/ha 10 while 30cm, 45cm, 60cm respectively. served control. result analysis showed that population d...

It is well accepted that cytotoxic lymphocytes specific for viruses (1), haptens (2), and minor histocompatibility antigens (HA) 1 (3, 4) recognize antigen in an H-2restricted fashion during the effector phase. Precisely how the precursors of these cells respond to antigen during the induction phase, however, is poorly understood. In the case of skin graft rejection (5-9) and delayed-type hyper...

maize hybrid ksc 703 (k47/3 x mo17) produced grain yield 12.034 t/ha over seven locations in 2010, compared to ksc 704 with 12.034 t/ha, as check. during two years evealuation ( 2011-2012) over 12 locations, this hybrid revealed grain yield 11.291 t/ha, comparing to ksc 704 with 9.506 t/ha, showing 1.785 t/ha (18.8%) yield increase. on farm experimants carried out in islam abad, ravansar, mahta...

Materials Sodium form of hyaluronic acid (HA, MW, 10 kDa) was a gift of Kolon Life Science, Korea. EDC.HCl (99%) and N-Hydroxy succinimide (NHS, 99%) were purchased from Shanghai Medeep Co., Ltd. Monostearin (glycerol α-monostearate, GMS), Sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) were purchased from Solarbio (Beijing, China). Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was supplied b...

Environmental impacts of 15 European pig farming systems were evaluated in the European Union Q-PorkChains project using life cycle assessment. One conventional and two non-conventional systems were evaluated from each of the five countries: Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, France and Germany. The data needed for calculations were obtained from surveys of 5 to 10 farms from each system. The sys...
