Lung surfactant mainly comprises phosphatidylcholines (PC), together with phosphatidylglycerols and surfactant proteins SP-A to SP-D. Dipalmitoyl-PC (PC16:0/16:0), palmitoylmyristoyl-PC (PC16:0/14:0), and palmitoylpalmitoleoyl-PC (PC16:0/16:1) together comprise 75-80% of surfactant PC. During alveolarization, which occurs postnatally in the rat, PC16:0/14:0 reversibly increases at the expense o...

Multiple fusions following immunization of athymic mice with the extensively characterized human glioma cell line D-54 MG resulted in the selection of several antibodies (Mabs) highly reactive with tumors of neuroectodermal origin and unreactive with normal nervous system tissue. Two Mabs, C12 and D12, which localized specifically to tumors in athymic mouse-human glioma xenograft paired label l...

A two-phase near-? titanium alloy (Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al, or Ti-1023) in its as-forged state is employed to illustrate the feasibility of a Bayesian framework identify single-crystal elastic constants (SEC). High Energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) obtained at Diamond synchrotron source are used characterize evolution lattice strains for various grain orientations during situ specimen loading regime. On...

The fatty acid-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) enhances glucose tolerance and insulin action on skeletal muscle glucose transport in rodent models of insulin resistance. However, no study has directly compared the metabolic effects of the two primary CLA isomers, cis-9,trans-11-CLA (c9,t11-CLA) and trans-10,cis-12-CLA (t10,c12-CLA). Therefore, we assessed the effects of a 50:50 mixture of these ...

Catalysts based on zirconia and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (3–18 wt% W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 Pt) were selected to study the influence W loading, support type, preparation methods hydroisomerization n-dodecane. The alumina- zirconia-supported catalysts show different catalytic properties that play an important role in n-dodecane conversion. Specific surface area acidity a...

I’ll now sketch a proof. It basically follows by by recalling the definition of the probability of an even conditioned on X2 = a2. We first note that the set of choices for (X 1, X2, 3) given that X2 = a2 is def Sa2 = {(X1, a2, X3) : (X1, a2) ∈ C12 and (a2, X3) ∈ C23} . Conditioning on X2 = a2, we obtain a sample chosen uniformly from Sa2 . Thus, for (a 1, a2, a3) ∈ Sa2 , 1 P [(X1, X2, X3) = (a...

Two dinickel mimics, [LNi2(DMF)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(CH3CN)4](ClO4)3 (), for the active site of urease supported by a disubstituted benzoate polydentate ligand were synthesized and fully characterized, subsequently addition of urea afforded two urea adducts, [LNi2(urea)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(urea)4](ClO4)3 ().

The structure of the title compound (4CP4CBA), C(13)H(8)Cl(2)O(2), resembles those of 4-methyl-phenyl 4-chloro-benzoate (4MP4CBA), 4-chloro-phenyl 4-methyl-benzoate (4CP4MBA) and 4-methyl-phenyl 4-methyl-benzoate (4MP4MBA), with similar bond parameters. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings in 4CP4CBA is 47.98 (7)°, compared with 51.86 (4)° in 4MP4CBA, 63.89 (8)° in 4CP4MBA and 63.57...

The structure of the title compound (23DMPBA), C(15)H(14)O(2), resembles those of phenyl benzoate (PBA), 3-methyl-phenyl benzoate (3MePBA), 2,6-dichloro-phenyl benzoate (26DC-PBA) and other aryl benzoates, with similar bond parameters. The dihedral angle between the benzene and benzoyl rings in 23DMPBA is 87.36 (6)°, compared with values of 55.7° in PBA, 79.61 (6)° in 3MePBA and 75.75 (10)° in ...
