We investigate the properties of local HI-selected galaxies detected in blind radio surveys by using semi-analytic galaxy formation models in the hierarchical structure formation scenario. By drawing a detailed comparison between the properties of the HI-selected galaxies and the quasar absorption systems, we investigate a link between the local galaxy population and the quasar absorption syste...

The present study aimed to detect the role of 3, 4-dihydroxyl-phenyl lactic acid (DLA) during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced myocardial injury with emphasis on the underlying mechanism of DLA antioxidant. Male Spragu-Dawley (SD) rats were subjected to left descending artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. Treatment with DLA ameliorated myocardial structure and function disorder, blunted ...

BACKGROUND Substantially elevated blood D-lactate (DLA) concentrations are associated with neurocardiac toxicity in humans and animals. The neurological symptoms are similar to inherited or acquired abnormalities of pyruvate metabolism. We hypothesized that DLA interferes with mitochondrial utilization of L-lactate and pyruvate in brain and heart. METHODS Respiration rates in rat brain, heart...

We present new spectroscopic observations of the quasar Q2059−360, confirming the existence of an emission feature within the Damped Lyman Alpha (DLA) absorption trough. By observing also at slit positions offset from the quasar, we show that the emission is spatially extended by at least a few arcseconds, and hence confirm that the feature seen must be due to emission rather than unusual absor...

abstractthe purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the antiproliferative and apoptogenic mechanistic studies of methanol extract of anthocephalus cadamba (meac) on dalton’s lymphoma ascites (dla) cells treated mice. determination of antiproliferative activity was performed by using different dla cells (2×106 cells, i.p.) inoculated mice groups (n=12). groups were treated for 14 consecuti...

Dermatolymphangioadenitis (DLA) is a common and serious complication of obstructive peripheral lymphedema. The clinical characteristics of acute DLA are local tenderness and erythema of the skin, sometimes red streaks along the distribution of the superficial lymphatics and enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. Systemic symptoms include malaise, fever and chills. In its subacute or latent form, only s...

Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is a modelling technique for simulating dendritic growth that has seen widespread application in the physical, biological, and social sciences. We introduce an artistic component to the basic technique by adding special effects parameters to a single particle, random walk DLA aggregation scheme. Our goal is to explore the potential of the enhanced scheme as a...

3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl lactic acid (DLA) and salvianolic acid B (SAB) are two major water-soluble components of Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM). Previous works have revealed the ability of DLA and SAB to scavenge oxygen free radicals, inhibiting the expression of adhesion molecules CD11b/CD18 in neutrophil. Cardiotonic pills (CP), which is a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation containing D...

We use deep HST STIS and NICMOS images of three spectroscopically confirmed galaxy counterparts of high-redshift damped Lyα (DLA) absorbers (one of which is a new discovery) to test the hypothesis that high-redshift DLA galaxies are Lyman-break galaxies. If this hypothesis is correct the emission properties of DLA galaxies must lie within the range of emission properties measured for Lyman-brea...

The main properties of Damped Lyman alpha (DLA) systems are briefly reviewed with the aim of studying the nature and evolution of the galaxies associated with this class of QSO absorbers. Candidate DLA galaxies identified at z ≤ 1 in the fields of background QSOs show a variety of morphological types without a predominance of spirals. Most properties inferred from spectroscopic studies at z ≥ 1...
