Inhibitory and excitatory connections of remarkably precise topographic order are characteristic features of the mammalian auditory system, particularly within the superior olivary complex (SOC). Little is known about the requirements for the correct development of these specific connections. Previous in vivo experiments have demonstrated a high expression of calcium-binding proteins in this sy...

Systematic studies on the vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) and conductometric properties of aqueous solutions of model surface-active ionic liquid 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C12mim]Br) are performed in the absence and presence of a large series of electrolytes in order to achieve a deeper understanding about the molecular mechanism behind the specific salt effect on the aggregation be...

The effect of thermal treatment on the chemical components, equilibrium moisture content (EMC), and shrinkage teak juvenile wood was studied. Heartwood sapwood samples were thermally-treated at 180 ºC 200 ºC. Extractive, Klason lignin, holocellulose, α-cellulose contents, as well pH untreated woods, determined. EMC reached five relative humidity (RH) levels using saturated salt solutions: 86...

Downy mildew (Peronospora belbahrii) is a major disease of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum). We examined the effects potassium, calcium and magnesium, individually in combination, on downy (SBDM) potted plants under commercial-greenhouse conditions over six growing seasons. An increased K concentration fertigation solution SBDM severity, whereas foliar-applied KCl K2SO4 suppressed SBDM. The appli...

We have characterized the binding of rhodamine phalloidin to actin filaments and actin filaments saturated with either myosin subfragment-1 or tropomyosin in 50 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2 buffer at pH 7.0. Direct transient kinetic measurements of rhodamine phalloidin binding to actin filaments indicate an association rate constant of 2.8 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 and a dissociation rate constant of 4.8 x 10(-4) ...

Introduction: In the recent years, effect of hypertonic solution in resuscitation of shock has been shown by clinical and laboratory studies. On the other hand ATP-MgCl2 is used for better tissue perfusion and cardiac output in shock. The aim of this study is evaluation of ATP-MgCl2 with hypertonic solution in resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. Materials and Methods: In this experimental stud...
