The results of imbedding cellophane subcutaneously in rats were compared with previous results with polystyrene; 280 films were imbedded subcutaneously in 140 rats, which were divided into three groups and observed for tumor incidence. All animals were permitted to live out their life span. Group I: Films were removed at monthly intervals from the enveloping pockets induced. Group II : Pockets ...

The Cassie-Baxter state is a phenomenon in which a liquid rests on top of a textured surface with a gas layer trapped underneath the liquid layer. This gas layer introduces an effective shear free boundary that induces slip at the liquid-gas interface, allowing for friction reduction in liquid channel flows. Multiple studies have shown that different surface configurations result in different f...

T effects of local drug delivery to the subgingival plaque flora using resorbable base material were evaluated by the study of microbial composition in periodontal pockets and clinical manifestations of disease. Jn vitro, the drug used in this study was released within 24 hr from the hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) strips. In vivo release of the drug from strips was also measured in nine patients ...

The article is devoted to the study of gas saturation upper part sedimentary cover in western sector Beaufort Sea adjacent Alaska. For first time, interpretation seismic sections CDP (common depth point) survey was performed for 52 lines United States Geological Survey (USGS) with a total length 4050 km. 184 anomalous objects were found near-bottom sediments, potentially associated shallow accu...

ABSTRACT Absorption-selected galaxies offer an effective way to study low-mass at high redshift. However, the physical properties of underlying galaxy population remain uncertain. In particular, multiphase circumgalactic medium is thought hold key information on gas flows into and out that are vital for evolution models. Here, we present ALMA observations CO molecular in host H2-bearing absorbe...

MOTIVATION Identification of ligand binding pockets on proteins is crucial for the characterization of protein functions. It provides valuable information for protein-ligand docking and rational engineering of small molecules that regulate protein functions. A major number of current prediction algorithms of ligand binding pockets are based on cubic grid representation of proteins and, thus, th...

Protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions are ubiquitous in a biological cell. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the distribution of protein-ligand interaction sites, namely ligand-binding pockets, around protein-protein interfaces where protein-protein interactions occur. We inspected a representative set of 1,611 representative protein-protein complexes and identified pockets wit...

We show the nonexistence of deep pockets in a large class of groups, extending a result of Bogopol’skĭi. We then give examples of important groups (namely lattices in Nil and Sol) which have deep pockets.

The set of peptides that is bound by a given major histocompatibility complex class I product can be described by one or two properly spaced anchor residues, and two properly spaced peptide termini, approximately 8-10 residues apart. Using radiolabeled peptide libraries, we examined whether mutations in those "pockets" in class I Kb molecules that do not seem critically involved in the interact...
