A previous study of substituent effects on the photo-cleavage of 1-acyl-7-nitroindolines has been extended to examine the effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents. 1-Acetyl-4,5-methylenedioxy-7-nitroindoline was inert to 350 nm irradiation, reinforcing an earlier finding that excessive electron-donation by substituents can divert the excited state into non-productive p...

Complexation of two types of dicationic bipyridium guests, paraquat derivatives and bis(N-mono-substituted bipyridine) cations, by a negatively charged carboxylato-biphen[3]arene (CBP3) in water is reported. CBP3 could strongly interact with these guests, where charge-transfer and electrostatic interactions play important roles.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of lecithin, mono-glyceride and mono-diglyceride on apparent total tract and ileal nutrient digestibilities in nursery pigs. Twenty [(Landrace x Yorkshire) x Duroc] barrows were surgically fitted with simple T-cannulas. Dietary treatments included 1) CON (basal diet: soy oil), 2) LO (lecithin 0.5%), 3) MO (mono-glyceride 0.5%), 4) MG (mono-gly...

At the synchrotron light source BESSY II monochromator (MONO) and insertion device (ID) scans can be done synchronized in two different modes. In step mode MONO and ID move independently to intermediate target positions of an energy scan. In continuous mode (CM) MONO and ID cover the whole range of the scan nonstop in a coupled motion. Data acquisition is done continuously at the speed provided...

Within 5 min, resting macrophages metabolize microM quantities of exogenous arachidonic acid (20:4) to cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase products. Mono-HETEs represent a major class of metabolites recovered from the medium. However, the quantity of mono-Hetes progressively decreases over a 60-min incubation period, with a concomitant increase in more polar lipoxygenase products, suggesting additi...

When a ribosome complex is stalled during the translation elongation process in eukaryotes, the mono-ubiquitination of Rps3 has recently been shown to be critical to ribosome quality control. We have discovered that the regulatory role of Rps3 mono-ubiquitination is controlled by a deubiquitinase. We also showed that an autophagic signal appears to be coupled to the mono-ubiquitination of Rps3p...

Larvae of the alkali fly Ephydra hians, from Mono Lake (California), were exposed to osmotic concentrations ranging from distilled water to over 6000 mOsm of either alkaline Mono Lake water, or non-alkaline sea water/sodium chloride solutions. Larvae were capable of both hyperand hypo-osmotic regulation of haemolymph osmolality (at around 300mOsm) in Mono Lake water, but this ability was less e...

To verify the influence of some predominant components from indigenous microbiota on systemic immunological responses during experimental Chagas disease, germ-free NIH Swiss mice were mono-associated with Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacteroides vulgatus or Peptostreptococcus sp. and then infected with the Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. All the mono-associations predominantly induce...

The 21,23-dithia and 21-thia analogues of phlorins and mono-functionalized thiaphlorins were synthesized using easily available precursors and the mono-functionalized thiaphlorins were used further to synthesize the first examples of three covalently linked thiaphlorin-porphyrin dyads.

plant dry matter accumulation has a linear relation with accumulative photosynthetically active radiation (par). intercropping could be a strategy for increasing light absorption in agronomic systems and it may improve radiation use efficiency (rue). thus this study was conducted in order to evaluate radiation absorption and use efficiency in potato (solanum tuberosum l.) –corn (zea mays l.) in...
