BACKGROUND The intestine is highly susceptible to free radical-induced damage and our earlier work has shown that surgical manipulation of the intestine results in generation of oxygen free radicals and mucosal damage along with alterations in the brush border membrane (BBM). Heat preconditioning is known to offer protection against various stresses including oxidative stress and this study loo...

We have previously described a cell surface channel complex that is highly selective for nucleic acid (6, 7). The channel complex was purified to homogeneity by solubilizing renal brush-border membranes (BBM) with CHAPS and separation by liquid chromatography. It was characterized by reconstitution in planar lipid bilayers. The channel consists of a pore-forming subunit that is blocked by hepar...

Unsaturated soil mechanics is of keen relevance when dealing with above the water table orcompacted soils. Barcelona Basic Model (BBM) one most widely used constitutive models for describing unsaturated behaviour and available as a model in software like PLAXIS CODE_BRIGHT (developed by UPC). The present study demonstrates numerical framework to implement BBM within ABAQUS package user-defined ...

Let $\lbrace U_n\rbrace =\lbrace U_n(P,Q)\rbrace $ and V_n\rbrace V_n(P,Q)\rbrace be the Lucas sequences of first second kind respectively at parameters $P \ge 1$ $Q \in \lbrace -1, 1\rbrace $. In this paper, we provide a technique for characterizing solutions so-called Bartz-Marlewski equation \[ x^2-3xy+y^2+x=0\,, \] where $(x,y)=(U_i, U_j)$ or $(V_i, V_j)$ with $i$, j 1$. Then, procedure is ...
