Calcutta 700054, India 50 pM Fe3+. The siderophore was purified and characterized as containing 2,3dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) as the core compound and threonine as i ts conjugate. The siderophore was able to reverse growth inhibition of the strain induced by ethylenediamine-di(o-hydroxyphenyl-acetic acid) (EDDA). A highaff ini ty iron-transport system capable of transporting 59Fe-siderophore ...

Extreme precipitation events are the major causes of severe floods in China. In this study, four time series of daily, 2-day, 5-day, and 10-day annual maximum precipitation from 1951 to 2000 at 651 weather stations in China were analyzed. The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution was used, to model the annual extreme precipitation events at each station. The GEV distribution was also mod...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of type 1 diabetes on growth and adult height.

Patients of non-German and non-Austrian origin and patients with celiac disease were excluded from the analysis. Near-adult height data w...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We used high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) to determine the length of breaks on the isobaric contour which would predict incomplete bolus clearance in patients in the sitting position. METHODS In total, 651 swallows in 71 patients with esophageal symptoms were studied using a solid-state HRIM system in the sitting position. Each swallow was classified as complete or in...
