Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) immobilized on halloysite-based supports were straightforwardly synthesized and fully characterized by different techniques with the purpose of evaluating catalytic performance these as-prepared composite materials as catalysts in hydrogenation reactions. Thus, halloysite bearing amino (HAL-NH2) ammonium (HAL-NEt3) groups led to less active comparison unfunctionaliz...

HLA-DR molecules are heterodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins that associate intracellularly with a polypeptide known as the invariant (I) chain. Shortly before expression of the HLA-DR αβ dimer on the cell surface, however the I chain is removed from the intracellular αβI complex by a mechanism thought to involve proteolysis . In this report, we show that treatment of purified αβI with the cy...

Copper (II) phthalocyanine and 2, 9, 16, 23 tetrakis nitro copper (II) phthalocyanine has been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalysts over nanodimensional zeolites. 4-Nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthaimide in three steps. The newly prepared compounds have been characterized by IR, UV-Vis,1H N...

We present improved correlations between theoretical and experimental determination of heat of formation of some aliphatic nitro compounds. The method is based on a previously given theoretical procedure, which is ameliorate through the introduction of suitable bond parameters. The comparison with available experimental data and previous theoretical estimation show a quite satisfactory improvem...

Background Genetic mutations affecting β-amyloid (Αβ) production suggest that decreasing Αβ levels in healthy adults could prevent AD. However, evidence for behavioral interventions decrease is lacking. The current study examined whether heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback affects plasma levels. This intervention involves breathing slowly at a pace maximizes the amplitude of oscillations. ...

We study totally positive (TP) functions of finite type and exponential Bsplines as window functions for Gabor frames. We establish the connection of the Zak transform of these two classes of functions and prove that the Zak transforms have only one zero in their fundamental domain of quasi-periodicity. Our proof is based on the variation-diminishing property of shifts of exponential B-splines....

The mouse TCRγ locus is positively regulated by the transcription factors STAT5 and Runx. While the locus undergoes frequent rearrangements in T lymphocytes, TCRγ transcription is repressed in αβ T cells. This phenomenon, known as TCRγ silencing, depends on pre-TCR-induced thymocyte proliferation. The molecular basis for TCRγ silencing, however, is largely unknown. Here, we show that pre-TCR si...

A kinetic mechanism to predict secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photo-oxidation of toluene was developed. Aerosol phase chemistry that includes nucleation, gas–particle partitioning and particle-phase reactions as well as the gas-phase chemistry of toluene and its degradation products were represented. The mechanism was evaluated against experimental data obtained from the Uni...
