The present study aimed to investigate whether skeletal muscle from whole body creatine transporter (CrT; SLC6A8) knockout mice (CrT(-/y)) actually contained creatine (Cr) and if so, whether this Cr could result from an up regulation of muscle Cr biosynthesis. Gastrocnemius muscle from CrT(-/y) and wild type (CrT(+/y)) mice were analyzed for ATP, Cr, Cr phosphate (CrP), and total Cr (TCr) conte...

Theories suggest that rapid microbial growth rates lead to quicker development of metal resistance. We tested these theories by adding hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] to soil, sowing Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), and comparing rhizosphere and bulk soil microbial community responses. Four weeks after the initial Cr(VI) application we measured Cr concentration, microbial biomass by fumigation ex...

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that 54 Cr is heterogeneously distributed in Solar System materials, including chondrites, differentiated stony and iron meteorites [1]. Each meteorite group has its characteristic 54 Cr signature. Even though the 54 Cr anomalies are widely thought to be nucleosynthetic in origin, the nucleosynthetic process responsible for its production and the cause ...

Scientific interest on chromium removal from water and wastewater has escalated recently. Chromium compounds exist in the environment naturally but are mostly found due to anthropogenic activities (tanning, paint, cement industries, etc.). Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is of major environmental importance because it is one of the most stable chromium forms found in the environment. It is soluble...

Herpes Zoster (HZ) is a segmental erup on of grouped vesicles that are confined to a dermatome. There is dermatomal distribu on of skin rash, which is unilateral. When two non contagious dermatomes are involved, if affected bilaterally, it is called HZ duplex bilateralis; if unilaterally, unilateralis. HZ duplex bilateralis is extremely rare in immunocompetent children. This report describes a ...

In section many low-FeO CR chondrules are surrounded by rings of metal; this metal-cladding seems to have formed during chondrule melting events as films of metal that wetted the surface. Electron microprobe studies show that in each ring the metal is very uniform in composition, consistent with efficient mixing during formation of the metal film. In contrast the mean Ni contents of 13 differen...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of weakly e-continuous functions in topological spaces. Weak s-contlnulty and subweak continuity due to Rose [i] are independent of each other and are implied by weak continuity due to Levlne [2]. It is shown that weakly e-continuous surjections preserve connected spaces and that weakly e-contlnuous functions into regular spaces are continuous. Corollary i...
