Alginic acid, a high molecular weight linear polymer obtained from seaweed, is widely used as an added product to food due to its property of forming highly viscous solutions. Originally described as a polymer of n-mannuronic acid, it has now been demonstrated, by the chemical studies of Fischer and DGrfel (l), to be a ,&l-4-linked polymer of n-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid. The ratio of the ...

Van der Scheer and associates (l), using the electrophoretic procedure, demonstrated t,he formation of a colloidal component C in normal horse serum that ha.d previously been heated to 65”. As Beilinsson (2) and others (3) had shown that the coagulat,ion of egg albumin by heat could be prevented by treating the albumin solution with sugars and sugar alcohols, it was thought that a similar treat...

The time deveIopment for the intermolecular transfer of electronic energy has, until recently, been studied by measurements of the molecular light emission. The observation of the transfer process has been limited to times of the order of the fluorescent lifetime, and naturally to systems which emit light $#. With the application of the picosecond method 121, which utilizes absorption, rather t...

Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent yet severe condition that occurs in clinical settings. The prognosis for AKI poor, with many patients progressing to AKD, CKD, even ESKD especially those who were admitted the ICU. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are class of play vital role regulating gene expression have been implicated wide range diseases. Regnase3 member Regn...

The detection and measurement of adenosine 3’) 5’-phosphate are complicated by the extremely low levels present in most biological materials and by the sensitivity of the standard assay to activation or inhibition by substances native to the tissue or fluid under study (l-3). These problems made the availability of a specific means of destroying adenosine 3’,5’-phosphate very desirable. An enzy...

Design: A constraint satisfaction problem is defined by time points and constraints (inequalities between points). A time interval comprises a pair of points and a constraint. Five complete electronic discharge summaries and paragraphs from 226 other discharge summaries were studied. Medical events were represented as intervals, and assertions about events were represented as constraints. Throu...

-Electrophoretic and albumin immunological data indicate that the Brachyphyllinae as currently conceived is a natural assemblage, with Erophylla sezekorni and Phyllonycteris aphylla being more closely related to each other than either is to Brachyphylla cavernarum. In both data sets, values that distinguish Erophylla from Phyllonycteris are in the general range of values that characterize conge...
