Mutations in the gene for proteolipid protein (PLP) have been associated with CNS dysmyelination and abnormal oligodendrocyte death in spontaneous mouse mutants and in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease; however, the effect of mutations on PLP structure and function are little understood. We have identified a monoclonal antibody directed against a novel cell surface epitope of PLP, termed O10. By imm...

Cereal storage proteins are major nitrogen sources for humans and livestock. Prolamins are the most abundant storage protein in most cereals. They are deposited into protein bodies (PBs) in seed endosperm. The inner structure and the storage mechanism for prolamin PBs is poorly understood. Maize opaque10 (o10) is a classic opaque endosperm mutant with misshapen PBs. Through positional cloning, ...

One of the areas in Maros Regency that has geothermal potential is located Samaenre, Mallawa District, where hot springs are a few kilometers from residential areas. This water source around river. Hot produced as result discharge groundwater earth's crust after being heated geothermal. Research been carried out aims to determine mineral content and crystal structure by using X-Ray Diffraction ...

A novel laser crystal of Er3+:Yb3+:GdMgB₅O10 with dimension of 26 × 16 × 12 mm³ was grown successfully from K₂Mo₃O10 flux by the top seeded solution growth method. The thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity were measured to calculate the thermal conductivity of the crystal. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the crystal at room temperature were investigated in detail. The Jud...

We determine the p-rank of the incidence matrix of hyperplanes of PG(n, pe) and points of a nondegenerate quadric. This yields new bounds for ovoids and the size of caps in finite orthogonal spaces. In particular, we show the nonexistence of ovoids in O10(2e), O10(3e), O9(5e), O12(5e) and O12(7e). We also give slightly weaker bounds for more general finite classical polar spaces. Another applic...

Abstract Background Mortality and morbidity (M&M) meetings in surgery are an important quality assurance process. These contribute to learning, education improvements patient care. In order achieve these outcomes effectively, M&M meeting require robust structure process including accurate documentation of complications. Our hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) unit conducts records weekly b...

In the context of the superconformal N = 4 SYM theory the Konishi anomaly can be viewed as the descendant K10 of the Konishi multiplet in the 10 of SU(4), carrying the anomalous dimension of the multiplet. Another descendant O10 with the same quantum numbers, but this time without anomalous dimension, is obtained from the protected half-BPS operator O20′ (the stress-tensor multiplet). Both K10 ...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of short-term exposure to high oxygen concentrations (hyperoxia) on Wistar rat lungs. METHODS Animals were divided into three groups exposed to hyperoxia for 10', 30' and 90' (O10', O30', O90', respectively), together with a control group (exposed to room air). The animals were sacrificed 24 h after exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, and the lungs w...

A circular gravity-phase separator using coalescing medium with cross flow was developed to remove oil and suspended solids from wastewaters. Coalescence medium in the form of inclined plates promotes rising of oil droplets through coalescence and settling of solid particles through coagulation. It exhibits 22.67% higher removal of total suspended solids (TSS) compared to separators without coa...
