The primary antibody response elicited from mouse spleen explants by conjugates of the 3-nitro-5-iodo-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (NIP) hapten consisted mostly of the IgA class. Poly-L-lysine, pneumococcal polysaccharide Type SIII, keyhole limpet hemocyanin, and sheep erythrocytes were effective carriers in this system, whereas chicken globulin was not. The anti-NIP response against all of the i...

BACKGROUND Immunization is regarded as the single most cost-effective way to prevent vaccine-preventable diseases. With the rising cost of the National Immunization Programme (NIP) in Sri Lanka, immunization costing studies could help programme managers to ensure sustainable immunization financing in the country. METHODS Four medical officer of health (MOH) divisions in Kalutara district were...

The dependency of arteriolar tone on calcium influx was studied in 11 patients with essential hypertension (EH) and compared to 11 age-matched normotensive subjects (NT) by measuring the forearm blood flow response to intraarterial infusion of the calcium channel blocker verapamil (Verap) and the non-specific vasodilator sodium nitroprusside (Nip) using venous occlusion plethysmography. Verap i...

New molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the recognition of barbiturates were synthesised by “bulk” polymerisation. These prepared using pentobarbital as template in combination with a novel Hamilton receptor functional monomer. The solution binding properties monomer assessed NMR titration experiments, showing high affinity and lower related compounds lacking ability to form many hydrogen...

INTRODUCTION This text is an introduction to the study of NIP (or dependent) theories. It is meant to serve two purposes. The first is to present various aspects of NIP theories and give the reader sufficient background material to understand the current research in the area. The second is to advertise the use of honest definitions, in particular in establishing basic results, such as the so-ca...

We initiate a systematic study of the convolution operation on Keisler measures, generalizing work Newelski in case types. Adapting results Glicksberg, we show that supports definable and finitely satisfiable (or just definable, assuming NIP) measures are nice semigroups, classify idempotent stable groups as invariant type-definable subgroups. establish left-continuity map NIP theories, use it ...

We study the theory T ∗ of the structure induced by parameter free formulas on a dense algebraically independent subset of a model of a geometric theory T . We show that while being a trivial geometric theory, T ∗ inherits most of the model theoretic complexity of T related to stability, simplicity, rosiness, NIP and NTP2. In particular, we show that T is strongly minimal, supersimple of SU-ran...

[formula: see text] Homooligomers of beta-amino acids (S)-3-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (PCA) and (S)-nipecotic acid (Nip) were studied by circular dichroism (CD) in methanol. In each series, a profound change in the far-UV CD spectrum was observed from monomer to tetramer, but little change was observed from tetramer to hexamer. A comparable pattern is observed in the CD spectra of short pro...

Solar-light-driven H2 production in water with a [NiFeSe]-hydrogenase (H2ase) and a bioinspired synthetic nickel catalyst (NiP) in combination with a heptazine carbon nitride polymer, melon (CNx), is reported. The semibiological and purely synthetic systems show catalytic activity during solar light irradiation with turnover numbers (TONs) of more than 50 000 mol H2 (mol H2ase)-1 and approximat...
