We present the initial results from a simulation of ion behaviour within Cassini’s cosmic dust analyser (CDA) instrument, using an inhouse ion dynamics code. This work is to enable and enhance the detailed interpretation of dust impact ionisation mass spectra returned from the Saturnian system. Early work has already provided insights into the properties of the impact plasma in both lowand high...

A study was undertaken to differentiate citrus on the basis of a carotenoid profile obtained from the HPLC determination of 12 carotenoids found in saponified fresh juice. Mandarin, orange, and various hybrid varieties were analyzed to determine their carotenoid profiles. The resulting peak areas were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA), canonical discriminate analysis (CDA), and ...

The pharmacokinetic parameters of cladribine (CdA) in patient plasma and its intracellular nucleotides CdA 5’monophosphate (CdAMP) and CdA 5’-triphosphate (CdATP) were delineated in circulating leukemia cells in 17 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, after the last dose intake and up to 72 h thereafter. Patients were treated with 10 mg/m2 CdA p.o. on 3 consecutive days. A novel and spec...

5',8-Cyclopurine-2'-deoxynucleosides including 5',8-cyclo-dA (cdA) and 5',8-cyclo-dG (cdG) are induced by hydroxyl radicals resulting from oxidative stress such as ionizing radiation. 5',8-cyclopurine-2'-deoxynucleoside lesions are repaired by nucleotide excision repair with low efficiency, thereby leading to their accumulation in the human genome and lesion bypass by DNA polymerases during DNA...

there is little known about the systematics and population structure of indian gerbils (tatera indica) in iran. in the present study six populations of t.indica from different localities of iran were compared according to morphology, morphometry and karyological studies to determine the status of these populations at the sub specific level. the univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical...

they have additional information on their patients’ health and clinical statuses. The information could be acquired directly from patients or electronically from other providers through healthcare information exchanges (HIE). In the latter case, a common language or standard is necessary for sending and receiving digital forms of clinical data among healthcare organizations. On February 12, 200...

OBJECTIVES Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) with Discover prosthesis or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with Zero-P cage has been widely used in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). However, little is known about the comparison of the 2 zero-profile implants in the treatment of single-level CSM. The aim was to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic para...
