A satellite DNA of buoyant density 1.704 constitutes approximately 5%-6% of nuclear DNA isolated from cherry tomato leaves. Isolated satellite DNA exhibits a multi-component melting profile. Kinetic complexity measurements indicate that 37% of the satellite consists of repeating units of 10( 5) daltons, and 48% of it consists of repeating units of 5.5 x 10(6) daltons. The latter component is id...

A program of 2D simulations of edge turbulence and blob generation using the Lodestar SOLT code is described. Issues studied include the transport of particles and poloidal momentum in the edge and SOL, the processes by which momentum transport drives sheared poloidal flow layers in the edge plasma, the nonlinear turbulence saturation mechanisms producing the blobs, and the interaction of blob ...

BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer is a common neoplasm of biliary tract, with an unknown etiology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was carried out to evaluate the changes in the membrane fatty acid profile and saturation index in patients with gallbladder cancer. The study sample consisted of 50 newly diagnosed cases of gallbladder cancer and 50 patients undergoing cholecystectomy for cholelithia...

OBJECTIVE The effect of the type of dietary fat on bile lipids and lithogenicity is unclear. This study compared the effects of two dietary oils that differed in fatty acid profile on biliary lipid composition in humans. METHODS Female patients who had cholesterol gallstones and were scheduled for elective cholecystectomy were studied. For 30 d before surgery, subjects were kept on diets that...

The main objective of this study was to develop an effective potentiometric saturation titration protocol for determining the aqueous intrinsic solubility and the solubility-pH profile of ionizable molecules, with the specific aim of overcoming incomplete dissolution conditions, while attempting to shorten the data collection time. A modern theory of dissolution kinetics (an extension of the No...

We analyze soft-x-ray beam propagation and amplification in gain-guided amplifiers of cylindrical geometry for arbitrary gain and density profiles. A general relation that must be fulfilled for refraction not to be an impediment to the exponential growth of the intensity is obtained. It is shown that for sufficiently long plasma columns the effective gain, reduced by refraction, is determined s...

results roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 94% can predict hypoxemia (pao2 < 60 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95%. furthermore, there are associations between the roc-derived spo2 threshold of ≤ 97% and detection of hypoxemia (pao2 < 70 mmhg) with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 46%. the accuracy of pulse oximetry was not affected by the severity of liver disease...

abstract this paper presents a quantitative account of vegetation–environmental factor relationships in arid rangelands. vegetation cover was recorded using braun-blanquet combined abundance-cover scale in each quadrat. within each quadrat, one profile was dug and soil samples being taken at 0-20cm and 20-100cm depths. under study physical-chemical characteristics included texture, lime, organi...

this paper is a report on the synthesis of the fe3o4@ag core-shell with high saturation magnetization of magnetite nanoparticles as the core, by using polyol route and silver shell by chemical reduction. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the particles so produced were monophase. the magnetic properties of the product were investigated by...
