We describe a new material system based on alloys of gallium and platinum that is well-suited for ultraviolet (UV) plasmonics. Although gallium has previously been shown to be useful for such studies, creating a continuous, pinhole-free thin film has been technically challenging. For example, when vacuum deposition techniques are used, gallium forms as isolated spherical nanoparticles on a wide...

Background: Feed intolerance during early postnatal period is common in newborn with meconium stained aminotic fluid. Present study (A randomized control trail) conducted with an objective to find out incidence of feed intolerance in early postnatal period in term vigorous newborn with MSAF who received gastric lavage as compared with those who not received gastric lavage. Method: Randomized co...

Cereal Chern. 68(4):383-390 Amylases from germinating maize (cv. B73) were fractionated by affinity chromatography, anion exchange chromatography, and chromatofocusing. Two groups of amylase enzymes were separated by affinity chromatography. About one half of the total amylase activity was bound on a cycloheptaamylose-Sepharose 6B column. Bound proteins were fractionated by anion exchange into ...

Protein kinase C (PKC) promotes cell survival in response to ionizing radiation in a variety of experimental models including human carcinoma, human glioblastoma, and transformed mouse embryo fibroblast cell lines. We have introduced specific antisense oligonucleotides into human mammary tumor cell lines in vitro to analyze the role of individual PKC isoforms in radiation-induced cell death in ...

Cotton [Gossypium spp.] fiber quality quantitations at the boll, locule, or seed level are limited by the large sample-size requirements of commercial cotton fiber testing instrumentation and inherent biases and high costs in time and labor of non-instrumental measurement methods. Quantitative examinations of the natural and environmentally induced variations in fiber properties were performed ...
