The purpose of the presentation and this article is to provide a summary of the findings of a study that was conducted to ...

N-1-Naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) binding activity is released into the supernatant when plasma membranes are subjected to high-salt treatment, indicating that this activity is peripherally associated with the membrane. Extraction of plasma membrane vesicles with Triton X-100 resulted in retention of NPA binding activity in the detergent-insoluble cytoskeletal pellet. Treatment of this pellet w...

Nutripellet pack is a tubular assembly composed of fertilizer pellet, manure pellet and bioinoculants. A laboratory electrolyte release study was conducted to assess the extent nutrient enrichment by from encapsulated pellet. placed in soil, within closed container. Periodically entire soil removed for estimation reaction (pH), electrical conductivity (EC) available forms N, P K up 11 weeks aft...

Using OWL2 reasoning services with Pellet requires either interacting with Pellet by using the command line or writing code in Java to invoke its interfaces. Both of these solutions can be impractical in some cases. We present a solution for easier, lightweight integration of Pellet, especially in enterprise environments, by providing access to reasoning services using a RESTful HTTP interface....

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Air guns, either modern or traditional models, are powerful weapons that are capable of causing serious or life-threatening injuries. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present a case of an air gun pellet injury, with the pellet trapped between the thyroid cartilage and the lining mucosa of a 58-year-old Iranian man. CONCLUSION Entrapment of air gun pellet between thyroid...

The response of glycerinated cilia from Tetrahymena to the addition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be assayed by measuring the size of the ciliary pellet obtained after brief, low-speed centrifugation in hematocrit tubes (1) . Upon the addition of ATP, cilia swell, resulting in pellets up to threefold larger than pellets of control cilia . There are two interdependent hydrodynamic factors ...
