The specific rates of solvolysis of isobutyl chloroformate (1) are reported at 40.0 °C and those for isobutyl chlorothioformate (2) are reported at 25.0 °C, in a variety of pure and binary aqueous organic mixtures with wide ranging nucleophilicity and ionizing power. For 1, we also report the first-order rate constants determined at different temperatures in pure ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH)...

Additional specific rates of solvolysis are determined for phenyl chloroformate. These values are combined with literature values to give a total of 49 data points, which are used within simple and extended Grunwald-Winstein treatments. Literature values are also brought together to allow treatments in more solvents than previously for three N-aryl-Nmethylcarbamoyl chlorides, phenyl chlorothion...

Howard, Dexter H. (University of California, Los Angeles). Intracellular behavior of Histoplasma capsulatum. J. Bacteriol. 87:33-38. 1964.-The tinctorial characteristics and intracellular generation time of Histoplasma capsulatum within mouse histiocytes maintained in tissue culture were studied. The appearance of viable and nonviable cells of H. capsulatum was observed after staining with the ...

My purpose here is to provide brief historical overviews of three related subjects conceptually fundamental to the broader subject of "cell adhesion in development." These subjects are (1) the evolution of our present understanding of how animal cells cohere; (2) the question of what principles underlie the ability of embryonic cell populations to organize themselves into anatomically correct s...

The specific rates of solvolysis of propargyl chloroformate (1) are analyzed in 22 solvents of widely varying nucleophilicity and ionizing power values at 25.0 °C using the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation. Sensitivities to solvent nucleophilicity (l) of 1.37 and to solvent ionizing power (m) of 0.47 suggest a bimolecular process with the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. A plot of th...

In the present study, we investigated the influence of cytological stains in analyzing DNA extracted from cytological slides by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Multiple imprint cytological slides were prepared for fresh-frozen breast cancer tissue samples and the slides were stained by three staining methods for each sample. Under microscopic observation, cancer cells were selectively ...

Adult Xenopus laevis, rendered anaemic by phenylhydrazine injection, have been studied during the recovery from such anaemia. Electron microscopy of liver and spleen sections indicates that both of these organs are active in the phagocytosis and destruction of the old damaged red blood cells. May-Grunwald and Giemsa staining of liver and spleen cells following anaemia has been used to show that...

The benefits of data prefetching are obvious. We want to avoid the extremely long latencies associated with loads from memory due to cache misses. Prefetching is used to help solve this problem and can be done by explicitly inserting prefetching instructions at compile time or done in real-time using hardware. Our work will focus on the hardware possibilities of prefetching based on the Markov-...

There are many functions which are continuous everywhere but non-differentiable at someor all points such functions are termed as unreachable functions. Graphs representing suchunreachable functions are called unreachable graphs. For example ECG is such an unreachable graph. Classical calculus fails in their characterization as derivatives do not exist at the unreachable points. Such unreachabl...

A 72-year-old, female, Greek patient presented to the Emergency Department of our hospital complaining of fever and fatigue. She also mentioned that she had recently returned from a trip to the Republic of Congo, Africa. Laboratory evaluation revealed pancytopenia, abnormal liver tests, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and high inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedime...
