Resonances from AMPT
نویسنده
چکیده
A multiphase transport (AMPT) model that includes both initial partonic and nal hadron rescattering effects in relativistic heavy ion collisions is brie y reviewed. Particular attention is given to the scattering processes in the hadronic phase in order to address resonances production in these collisions. As an example, phi meson production is discussed in detail through both its dikaon and dilepton decay channels. Results from the AMPT model for heavy ion collisions at both SPS and RHIC are compared to the experimental data to extract information on the production mechanism and in-medium properties of the phi meson.

Substrate access to the active sites in aminopeptidase T, a representative of a new metallopeptidase clan.
Aminopeptidase T (AmpT) from Thermus thermophilus is a metalloexopeptidase with no similarity to prototypical metallopeptidases with an HExxH or HxxEH motif. The crystal structure of the Staphylococcus aureus homologue of AmpT, which is known as aminopeptidase S (AmpS), has been reported recently. This structure revealed a dimeric protein with a very unusual, elongated shape and a large interna...
متن کاملEffects of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine on extracellular dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens and the dorsal striatum of freely moving rats.
Alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMPT) is known to inhibit the formation of dopamine (DA) in the cytosol of dopaminergic neurons and is therefore used to study the role of the cytosolic DA pools. AMPT is usually administered systemically. In the present study, however, the effects of locally infused AMPT on the efflux of DA from the nucleus accumbens and dorsal striatum were analyzed, using in vivo bra...
متن کاملNerve terminal damage in cerebral ischemia: protective effect of alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine.
Mongolian gerbils were treated with alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine methyl ester (AMPT, a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor), in order to decrease brain levels of catecholamines. Six hours later, unilateral ischemic stroke was induced by ligation of the left common carotid artery. The delayed degeneration of nerve terminals was studied sixteen hours later by measuring the high-affinity uptake of radiol...
متن کاملReward processing after catecholamine depletion in unmedicated, remitted subjects with major depressive disorder.
BACKGROUND We investigated whether performance on a reward processing task differs between fully remitted patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy control subjects after catecholamine depletion. METHODS Seventeen unmedicated subjects with remitted MDD (RMDD) and 13 healthy control subjects underwent catecholamine depletion with oral alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (AMPT) in a rand...
متن کاملAdvantages of adding a course of tetracycline to single dose ampicillin and probenecid in the treatment of gonorrhoea.
Chlamydia trachomatis was reisolated from 11 of 12 men with gonorrhoea who had initially yielded chlamydiae and who had been treated with ampicillin and probenecid (AMP) only, but from none of five such men treated with ampicillin and probenecid followed by tetracycline (AMPT). These results correlated with the absence of postgonococcal urethritis (PGU) in the group treated with AMPT. C trachom...
