The title compound, [Hg5Br10(C7H8N2O)2] n , contains two μ3-bridging Br atoms, six μ2-bridging Br atoms and two terminal Br atoms. One Hg(II) atom, lying on an inversion center, adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry defined by six Br atoms. Two Hg(II) atoms adopt a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by five Br atoms and the other two Hg(II) atoms have a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two...

Photodissociation dynamics of 1,2-dibromopropane has been investigated at 234 and 265 nm by using the velocity map ion imaging method. At both pump energies, a single Gaussian-shaped speed distribution is observed for the Br*((2)P(1/2)) fragment, whereas at least three velocity components are found to be existent for the Br((2)P(3/2)) product. The secondary C-Br bond cleavage of the bromopropyl...

Immunotherapy for breast cancer using cytotoxic T cells (CTL) is hindered by the lack of well-characterized breast cancer antigens that are expressed in most breast tumor cells and recognized by CD8+ CTL. A recently described breast tissue differentiation antigen, NY-BR-1, is expressed in >80% breast tumors and elicits a humoral response in a subset of breast cancer patients. To identify potent...

<p>This article aims to investigate the communication between ghosts of dead and living. It is quite common<br />that living talk through different rituals in tradional religions. On contrary, study<br />about ghost with not very common. Therefore, a question this<br />research is: “Is there any experience that talks living?” The assumption that: is<br />communicat...

Gastrin stimulates the growth of pancreatic cancer cells through the activation of the cholecystokinin-B receptor (CCK-BR), which has been found to be overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we proposed that the CCK-BR drives growth of pancreatic cancer; hence, interruption of CCK-BR activity could potentially be an ideal target for cancer therapeutics. The effect of CCK-BR downregul...

The Balbiani ring (BR) 1 and BR 2 genes in Chironomus tentans are functionally related and are only expressed in the salivary gland cells. Here we reveal the principal structure of the BR 1 gene and analyze the structural and evolutionary relationship between the BR 1 and BR 2 genes. The properties of the BR 1 gene, 37 kilobases in size, are derived from the analysis of a cloned cDNA sequence, ...

Binocular rivalry (BR) is an intriguing phenomenon in which conflicting images are presented, one to each eye, resulting in perceptual alternations between each image. The rate of BR has been proposed as a potential endophenotype for bipolar disorder because (a) it is well established that this highly heritable psychiatric condition is associated with slower BR rate than in controls, and (b) an...

<p>Face detecting and tracking in video clips is very important many areas of<br />daily life. All institutions, public departments, streets, large stores use<br />cameras from a security point of view, human<br />faces necessary for indexing preserving information concerning the<br />visual media. This paper presents novel method hybridizing />Viola_Jones face ...

OBJECTIVE Muscle loss and metabolic changes occur with disuse [i.e. bed rest (BR)]. We hypothesized that BR would lead to a metabolically unhealthy profile defined by: increased circulating tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, decreased circulating insulin-like-growth-factor (IGF)-1, decreased HDL-cholesterol, and decreased muscle density (MD; measured by mid-thigh computerized tomography). METHODS...
