The role of immunity to intracellular Ags in resistance to infection by Yersinia is not well established. The enteropathogenic bacteria Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica actively translocate Ags to the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. Whereas Yersinia pestis does not always express the requisite cellular adhesins, results have varied as to whether similar cytosolic translocati...

The ATPase activity of rat liver Fl is inhibited by a number of covalent labeling agents which are reported to have preferential specificities for either tyrosine, carboxyl, or amino residues. Two types of agents, ie. trypsin and sulfhydryl reactive compounds, are without effect on the ATPase activity of F1. In this study, the effect of trypsin on energy-linked functions catalyzed by the mitoch...

Hypertension and stroke in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were investigated genetically using stroke-prone SHR (A3), stroke-resistant SHR (C) and their hybrids, hybrid of A3 and C (F1), offspring of F1 X F1 (F2), and those of backcrossing of F1 to the respective parental strains, BC(F1 X A3) and BC(F1 X C). The average blood pressure measured without anesthesia increased in the following...

We define and study the category Rep(Q, F1) of representations of a quiver in Vect(F1) the category of vector spaces ”over F1”. Rep(Q, F1) is an F1–linear category possessing kernels, co-kernels, and direct sums. Moreover, Rep(Q, F1) satisfies analogues of the Jordan-Hölder and Krull-Schmidt theorems. We are thus able to define the Hall algebra HQ of Rep(Q, F1), which behaves in some ways like ...

Given two maps f1, f2 : M −→ N between manifolds of the indicated arbitrary dimensions, when can they be deformed away from one another? More generally: what is the minimum number MCC(f1, f2) of pathcomponents of the coincidence space of maps f ′ 1 , f ′ 2 where f ′ i is homotopic to fi, i = 1, 2 ? Approaching this question via normal bordism theory we define a lower bound N(f1, f2) which gener...

We follow the rules: D is a non empty set, f1, f2 are finite sequences of elements of D, and i, n, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6 are natural numbers. We now state two propositions: (1) If n ¬ len f1, then (f1 a f2)⇂n = ((f1)⇂n) a f2. (2) (f1 a f2)↾(len f1 + i) = f1 a (f2↾i). A Gene-Set is a non-empty non empty finite sequence. Let S be a Gene-Set. We introduce GA− SpaceS as a synonym of UnionS. Let f ...

We have investigated the pathway of prothrombin activation in blood and plasma. By means of a rapid purification procedure involving chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite, we demonstrated that the major prothrombin fragment in serum is that representing the amino-terminal half of prothrombin (i.e. F1-2). The F1-2 isolated was characterized by its size, amino acid and antigenic com...

In this paper, we present a Chinese event extraction system. We point out a language specific issue in Chinese trigger labeling, and then commit to discussing the contributions of lexical, syntactic and semantic features applied in trigger labeling and argument labeling. As a result, we achieved competitive performance, specifically, F-measure of 59.9 in trigger labeling and F-measure of 43.8 i...
