Regulatory components of the immune system are critical for preventing unintended activation of immune cells. Failure to prevent this unintended activation raises the risk of developing exaggerated inflammation and autoimmunity. In this issue of the JCI, Binger et al. and Hernandez et al. report that salt can play an important role in undermining regulatory mechanisms of the innate and adaptive...

Dry-cured tuna is a traditional product manufactured in the Mediterranean region of Spain, known as mojama. The salting-drying elaboration process attributes new organoleptic characteristics to final product, changing its flavor, color, and nutritional value. This study aimed evaluate changes physicochemical, biochemical, microbiological parameters taking place during process. physicochemical w...

We have isolated an enzyme, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5.), from the rootlets of Zea mays var. СЕ-IV. After partial purification by fractional salting out with ammonium sulfate and gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100, we obtained a preparation of a 40-fold greater specific activity than that of the crude homogenate. We hbve determined the ap­ parent Michaelis constant and the activa...

introduction: dna extraction methods are very important for genetics research and diagnostic tests. in these methods are also important for detecting genetic diseases or in cancers for investigating genetic changes during cancer progression or treatment. therefore, selection of the best method for dna extraction from different samples such as bone marrow (bm) or peripheral blood (pb) and their ...

We consider the problem of using flow-level data for detection of botnet command and control (C&C) activity. We find that current approaches do not consider timingbased calibration of the C&C traffic traces prior to using this traffic to salt a background traffic trace. Thus, timing-based features of the C&C traffic may be artificially distinctive, potentially leading to (unrealistically) optim...

In the present work, ability of different sodium-based salts like Na2CO3, Na2HPO4, Na2SO4 and Na2SO3 to salt out aqueous solutions two biodegradable non-ionic surfactants (Tergitol 15S7 Tergitol 15S9) has been demonstrated. We have empirically characterized immiscibility regions models Merchuk Othmer-Tobias equations were employed for binodal tie-line data, respectively. The effect phase formin...
