In the context of gauge/gravity duality, we try to understand better the proposed duality between the fractional D2-brane supergravity solutions of (Nucl. Phys. B 606 (2001) 18, hep-th/0101096) and a confining 2+ 1 dimensional gauge theory. Based on the similarities between this fractional D2-brane solution and D3-brane supergravity solutions with more firmly established gauge theory duals, we ...

The type 2 5'-deiodinase (D2) appears to play an important role in maintaining the intracerebral T3 content relatively constant during changes in thyroidal state. Previous studies have demonstrated that the regulation of this enzyme by thyroid hormone and its analogs occurs at a posttranslational level. The availability of the rat D2 complementary DNA now allows an assessment of whether pretran...

Dopamine receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Receptors [373]) are commonly divided into D1-like (D1 and D5) D2-like (D2, D3 D4) families, where endogenous agonist is dopamine.

In this article, we obtain two sets of results. The first set results are for the case bi-disc while second describe in part, which these carry over to general poly-disc. A classification irreducible hermitian holomorphic vector bundles D2, homogeneous with respect Möb×Möb, is obtained assuming that associated representations multiplicity-free. Among ones give rise an operator Cowen-Douglas cla...

Dopaminergic transmission within limbic regions of the brain is highly dependent on the regulation of D2 receptor activity. Here we show that the neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) can mediate desensitization of D2 dopamine receptors. Analysis of D2 receptors expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells indicates that NCS-1 attenuates agonist-induced receptor internalization via a mechanism tha...

Let I be the ideal generated by alternating polynomials in two sets of n variables. Haiman proved that the q, t-Catalan number is the Hilbert series of the bi-graded vector space M(= ⊕ d1,d2 Md1,d2) spanned by a minimal set of generators for I. In this paper we give simple upper bounds on dim Md1,d2 in terms of number of partitions, and find all bi-degrees (d1, d2) such that dimMd1,d2 achieve t...

Cross section of the formation of mesic molecular complex (MMC) in the reactions (tp.)F+ (D2).;K; -+ [(dtp.)iVdee].,K, is calculated at low energies (E < 100 K). We assume the Breit-Wigner energy dependence of the cross section. In calculating the entrance widths the electron screening and various orbital moments of the incident tp.-atom were taken into account. Owing to anharmonic corrections ...

Forces between fully hydroxalated silica surfaces were measured using an atomic force microscope. The measurements were conducted in Nanopure water and in solutions containing various organic solutes such as methanol, ethanol, trifluoroethanol (TFE), and pyridine. The results obtained in Nanopure water showed a strong short-range repulsive force at distances below 15 nm. This non-DLVO force can...

A microphysiometer was used to quantify the rate of extracellular acidification by C6 glioma cells and L fibroblasts expressing recombinant dopamine D2 receptors. The dopamine D2 receptor agonist, quinpirole, accelerated the rate of acidification of the medium by C6 cells expressing either the short or long form of D2 receptors, D2(415) and D2(444), but not by wild-type cells that were not tran...

Mouse ovarian aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH, EC 1.14.14.2) activity was measured in control mice and in DBA/ 2N (hereafter called D2) and C57BL/6N (hereafter called B6) mice treated with 3-methylcholanthrene (MC). Basal ovarian AHH activity was similar in both strains (3 pmol/mg/min). Ovarian AHH was induced 2to 3-fold in B6 mice after MC treatment, while no change was observed in similarly...
