Proliferation and erythroid differentiation of transplanted DBA/2 marrow cells and Friend virus-induced leukemic cells were assessed in syngeneic, allogeneic (H-2 compatible), and (BALB/c x DBA/2)F(1) hybrid mice (CDF(1)). Measurements were made 5 days after transplantation of donor cells into nonirradiated or X-irradiated mice by the spleen colony or the (125)IUdR-(59)Fe uptake methods. Growth...

The aim of this study was to develop a novel folate receptor-targeted drug delivery system for retinoblastoma cells using a promising anticancer agent, curcumin-difluorinated (CDF), loaded in polymeric micelles. Folic acid was used as a targeting moiety to enhance the targeting and bioavailability of CDF. For this purpose, amphiphilic poly(styrene-co-maleic acid)-conjugated-folic acid (SMA-FA) ...

The CDF collaboration is engaged in a broad program of electroweak measurements. The production of W W , W Z, ZZ, W , Z and the high mass Drell Yan charge asymmetry will be discussed, along with a status report on extracting a new W mass from the most recent 90 pb ?1 data sample.

The CDF detector simulation framework is integrated into an AC++ application used to process events in the CDF experiment. The simulation framework is based on the GEANT3 package. It holds the detector element geometry descriptions, allows configuration of digitizers at run-time and manages the generated data. The design is based on generic programming which allows for easy extension of the sim...

Is CDF large p T anomaly from virtual SUSY threshold effects? * C. Abstract Talk is given at the YITP International Workshop – 'Recent Developments in QCD and Hadron Physics'. Recent CDF data of the inclusive jet cross section shows anomalous deviation around large transverse momentum p T (j) ≈ 200 ∼ 350 GeV. Is it possible to interpret the anomaly in terms of virtual SUSY effects. The answer i...

Sir, Congenital dermoid fistula (CDF) of the anterior chest region is a congenital cutaneous fistula that has its skin orifice at the sternoclavicular joint and a tract extending caudally in the subcutaneous tissue (1). Since CDF is rare it is sometimes incised and drained after misdiagnosis as an inflamed atheroma, but the affected region and the pathological and clinical findings are, in fact...

A significance determination process (SDP) is proposed that assigns risk characterization to inspection findings based on large early release frequency (LERF) considerations. This process is designed to interface directly with the SDP that is based on findings related to those structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that can influence the core damage frequency (CDF). The proposed LERF-based ...

Results to be reported below are mostly based on the Run II data. To remind, CDF has undergone a number of major upgrades for the Run II, with a good fraction of the old CDF scrapped and replaced with brand new apparatus, designed to work at higher luminosity, providing better performance, and adding new capabilities. The CDF-II tracker can do the full track reconstruction, including 3D-vertex,...

The “Care Delivery Frame (CDF)” presented here integrates two distinctly different applications, the home telehealth system and the remote photo sharing service of digital photo frame, to create a unique information channel for senior users who are not familiar with the operation of computers and Internet. In addition to health data monitoring, children or caregivers can “deliver care” to their...
