background: brown rice (br) is unpolished rice with various beneficial compounds such as vitamins, magnesium and other minerals, dietary fiber, essential fatty acids, γ‑oryzanol and γ‑aminobutyric acid. in the present study, we compared the effects of white rice (wr) and br on inflammatory marker high‑sensitivity c‑reactive protein (hs‑crp) and cardiovascular risk factors among non‑menopausal o...

The photodissociation dynamics of 2-bromopentane at ∼234 nm has been investigated by utilizing ion-velocity map imaging technique. The mapped images of Br(P3/2) (denoted as Br) and Br(P1/2) (denoted as Br∗) fragments were analyzed by means of the speed and angular distributions, respectively. The speed distributions can be fitted with two Gaussian components which are correlated to the two inde...

Heterobimetallic complexes in which half-sandwich complexes of ruthenium(), rhodium() and iridium() are connected by three bromo-bridges to Re(CO)3 have been prepared from metathesis reactions of [RuBr(μ-Br)(arene)]2 (arene = C6H6, C6H3Et3-1,3,5 or p-cymene) or [MBr(μ-Br)Cp*]2 (M = Rh or Ir) with [Re(μ-Br)(CO)3(C4H8O)]2. The crystal structures of [(arene)Ru(μ-Br)3Re(CO)3] (arene = C6H6 ...

Cyclohexanol is an organic chemical intermediate product widely used in chemical<br /> industry and commonly produced by cyclohexene hydration. Because of the low mutual<br solubility water, reaction limited equilibrium,<br which has disadvantage conversion cyclohexene. In this paper, hydration catalysed A-36 cation exchange resin catalyst was analysed Aspen Plus V8.6 simulation sof...

Serological analysis of recombinant cDNA expression libraries (SEREX) has led to the identification of several categories of new tumor antigens. We analyzed a testicular cDNA expression library with serum obtained from a breast cancer patient and isolated 13 genes designated NW-BR-1 through NW-BR-13. Of these, 3 showed tumorrestricted expression (NW-BR-1, -2 and -3), the others being expressed ...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal hormones that play pivotal roles during plant development. In addition to the characterization of BR deficient mutants, specific BR biosynthesis inhibitors played an essential role in the elucidation of BR function in plants. However, high costs and limited availability of common BR biosynthetic inhibitors constrain their key advantage as a species-independe...

Photolabile compounds which rapidly release cAMP or cGMP after photolysis are widely used for in situ studies of signaling pathways inside cells. We synthesized two novel caged compounds, 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl 8-Br-cAMP (caged 8-Br-cAMP) and 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl 8-Br-cGMP caged 8-BR-cGMP), which respectively release the hydrolysis-resistant analogues 8-Br-cAMP and 8-Br-cGMP. Their ...

<p>This paper emphasizes globalization as a cultural phenomenon, one that has repeatedly been neglected<br />academically. It is better known an economic phenomenon for its capitalism-related, production-oriented<br />system and growth. Thus, the global economy no longer affected by nations but transnational<br />companies. However, primarily phenomenon. Closely related ...

The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR) can be kept soluble in its native state for months in the absence of detergent by amphipol (APol) A8-35, an amphiphilic polymer. After an actinic flash, A8-35-complexed BR undergoes a complete photocycle, with kinetics intermediate between that in detergent solution and that in its native membrane. BR/APol complexes form well defined, globular particl...

The title salt, catena-poly[[[bis-(ethyl-enedi-amine)-platinum(II)]-μ-bromido-[bis(ethyl-enedi-amine)-platinum(IV)]-μ-bromido] tetra-kis-(2-bromo-ethane-sulfon-ate) dihydrate], {[PtIIPtIVBr2(C2H8N2)4](C2H4BrSO3)4·2H2O} n , crystallizes in the space group P21212. It has a linear chain structure extending parallel to the c axis, composed of square-planar [Pt(en)2]2+ and elongated octa-hedral tran...
