In lecture 29, we introduced the Euler angles as a framework for formulating and solving the equations for conservation of angular momentum. We applied this framework to the free-body motion of a symmetrical body whose angular momentum vector was not aligned with a principal axis. The angular moment was however constant. We now apply Euler angles and Euler’s equations to a slightly more general...

Time-average and time-dependent intensity of light scattered by linear polyethylene (LPE), Dutch State Mines sample L30-4-6, in a good organic solvent, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene at 135 "C, was measured as a function of polymer concentration at scattering angles between 35 and 145O. Molecular properties determined were the z-average radius of gyration, = 50 nm, the z-average hydrodynamic radius, (R...

The complete primary structure of the str operon of Bacillus stearothermophilus was determined. It was established that the operon is a five-gene transcriptional unit: 5'-ybxF (unknown function; homology to eukaryotic ribosomal protein L30)-rpsL (S12)-rpsG (S7)-fus (elongation factor G [EF-G])-tuf (elongation factor Tu [EF-Tu])-3'. The main operon promoter (strp) was mapped upstream of ybxF, an...

This paper investigates the robustness of the “two-tiered labor market” experimental results of Brown, Falk and Fehr (2004) by subjecting relationships to stochastic interruptions. Using two different subject pools, we first replicate the basic pattern of high quality private contracting and low quality public contracting. We then study the impact of exogenous random ‘downturns’ in which firms ...

The L14 lectin is a 14 x 10(3) M(r) carbohydrate binding protein belonging to the family of S-type lectins. The pattern of expression of this protein during mouse embryogenesis suggests that it may have multiple roles during pre- and post-implantation development. Using the technique of homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, we have introduced a null mutation in the gene encoding the...

50S ribosomal subunits were reacted with bis-(2-chloroethyl)methylamine, 2-iminothiolane or methyl p-azidophenyl acetimidate, and RNA-protein cross-link sites on the RNA were localised using our published procedures. The degree of precision with which these sites could be determined was variable, depending on the particular protein or RNA region concerned. The following positions in the 23S RNA...

Rates of acid catalysed decarboxylation in both H,O and D,O a t 25" are reported for indole-3-carboxylic acid and its 2-methyl and 5-chloro-derivatives, and fur indole-3-carboxylic acid in aqueous pyridine buffers a t 60". The experimental data are shown to fitwell with the kinetic expression (Rate = (a + b[L,O+]/(I + c[L30+])} [Substrate]) obtained for the decarboxylation of other aromatic and...

BACKGROUND Benzodiazepines (BZDs), the most commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs with anxiolytic action, may cause hyposalivation. It has been previously shown that BZDs can cause hypertrophy and decrease the acini cell number. In this study, we investigated the effects of BZDs and pilocarpine on rat parotid glands, specifically on acinar, ductal, and myoepithelial cells. METHODS Ninety mal...

The multiparticulate formulation of sodium para aminosalicylate for oral administration was developed by extrusion spheronization technique. Microcrystalline cellulose was used as filler in concentration of 14.4% w/w. Pellets were coated with Eudragit L 30 D-55 using fluidized bed processor. Different weight gains of acrylic polymer were applied onto the pellets and evaluated for in vitro disso...
