After export from the nucleus, ribosomes need to be distributed throughout the entire cell so that protein synthesis can occur even at distant sites. In the elongated hyphal cell of the fungus Ustilago maydis, Higuchi et al. (2014. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201307164) now demonstrate that polysomes associate with early endosomes that undergo kinesin 3- and dynein-dependent lon...

The initial cell search procedure of a terminal in an asynchronous wideband CDMA (WCDMA) system is discussed. The procedure consists of the following steps (not necessarily in this order): chip and frame synchronization; identification and synchronization of the long scrambling code; and determination of the target base station identity. Higuchi et al. [1] proposed a cell search method for such...

CAPTISOL® is the trade name for Ligand’s modified cyclodextrin preparation. CAPTISOL® is a patent-protected mixture of chemically modified cyclodextrins with a modifying structure designed to optimize the solubility and stability of drugs. CAPTISOL® was invented and initially developed by scientists at the University of Kansas’ Higuchi Biosciences Center for specific use in drug development and...

The anti-inflammatory activity of Achillea and Ruscus extracts was studied in comparison with diclofenac sodium topical gel (diclosal Emulgel), using the carrageenan induced paw edema model in Albino rats. Gel formulation was prepared containing 6% of each extract in gel base, namely sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC). The kinetics of drug release from the prepared formulation was studied se...

In this paper the boundary conditions for point defect distributions in monocrystalline silicon are investigated. These boundary conditions are established by simple thermodynamic considerations. A circle process is used including vacancy, interstitial and Frenkel pair generation which yields a simple relationship between the vacancy and interstitial equilibrium concentrations at the surface. A...

introduction nowadays, many studies were performed about noise source and its type and effects related to duration of sound emission. most of these researches just report sound pressure level in frequency or time domain. these researches should be continued in order to find better absorber material in noise pollution. use of fractal geometry is a new method in this filed. wave fractal dimension...

A topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. Gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. These microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. The particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. In vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. It was shown that drug release from microspheres followed H...

We show that the response rate of (i) a static source interacting with Hawking radiation of massless scalar field in Schwarzschild spacetime (with the Unruh vacuum) and that of (ii) a uniformly accelerated source with the same proper acceleration in Minkowski spacetime (with the Minkowski vacuum) are equal. We show that this equality will not hold if the Unruh vacuum is replaced by the Hartle–H...
