In recent years, the introduction and systematic application of new diagnostic techniques has enormously increased the opportunities to investigate magnetic fields of chemically peculiar (CP) stars. To approach the problem of modelling these fields, in previous papers we set up a theory aimed at describing the magnetic configuration due to the superposition of a dipole with an arbitrary quadrup...

Controversy exists as to whether administration of a chemically defined diet alters toxicity to chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate toxicity to methotrexate in rats fed a chemically defined liquid diet or a regular chow diet. In the first study, 48 adult rats were randomized to be fed a chemically defined liquid diet or a regular diet for 14 days when methotrexate (25 or 50 ...

Reverse micelles present self-assembled multi-molecular entities formed within specific compositional ranges of water-in-oil microemulsions. The structure of a reverse micelle is typically represented as nano-sized droplet of a polar liquid phase, capped by a monolayer of surfactant molecules, and uniformly distributed within a non-polar, oil phase. Although their role in serving as primitive m...

Tiger moths (Erebidae: Arctiinae) have experienced intense selective pressure from echolocating, insectivorous bats for over 65 million years. One outcome has been the evolution of acoustic signals that advertise the presence of toxins sequestered from the moths' larval host plants, i.e. acoustic aposematism. Little is known about the effectiveness of tiger moth anti-bat sounds in their natural...

A novel noncovalent strategy to construct chemically synthesized vaccines has been designed to trigger a robust immune response and to dramatically improve the efficiency of vaccine preparation. Glycosylated MUC1 tripartite vaccines were constructed through host-guest interactions with cucurbit[8]uril. These vaccines elicited high levels of IgG antibodies that were recognized by transformed cel...

This paper presents the catalogue and the method of determination of averaged quadratic effective magnetic fields B e for 596 main sequence and giant stars. The catalogue is based on measurements of the stellar effective (or mean longitudinal) magnetic field strengths B e , which were compiled from the existing literature. We analysed the properties of 352 chemically peculiar A and B stars in t...

Background Mammalian cells are used extensively in the production of recombinant proteins, and of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in particular. The trend towards avoiding animal-derived components in biopharmaceutical production processes has led to the extensive use of nonanimal origin hydrolysates such as plant hydrolysates or yeast hydrolysates. The source of hydrolysates affects cell growth a...

Chemically reacting flows are common in engineering, such as hypersonic flow, combustion, explosions, manufacturing processes and environmental assessments. For the number of reactions can be significant (over 100) due to very large CPU requirements chemical 99%) a flow combustion problems presently beyond capabilities even largest supercomputers.Motivated by this, novel Deep Neural Networks (D...

The present investigation assesses the possible role of apoptosis and necrosis in intracellular antigen exposure of kidneys from Balb/c mice. Renal tissues were cultured and treated with chemicals to induce apoptosis and /or necrosis. The expression of intracellular antigens Sm, RNP, Ro and La were monitored with antibodies against these antigens. Main results confirm that renal intracellular a...
