19 juvenile members of known genealogies in two wild baboon groups were studied over a 16month period. Males and females in two age classes were compared regarding third-party aggression and support given and received during agonistic interaction. Young juvenile males and females (1-2.5 years-old) were supported predominantly by their probable fathers. The adult males supported without regard t...

d-Nicotine (1000 micrograms) applied into the cerebral ventricle of urethane anesthetized rats increased gastric acid secretion. When 50 micrograms of d-nicotine was concomitantly administered with 5 micrograms of 1-nicotine, the 1-nicotine-induced increases in gastric secretion was blocked. The appearance of convulsion induced by I-nicotine in mice was also inhibited by pretreatment with d-nic...

Attack of dominant colony males of an albino rat (Rattus norvegicus) strain, on introduced strangers, produced a non-random distribution of bites, with ventral trunk virtually never bitten. Also, vibrissae-contact of attacker and defender interfered with bites to the defender's head and upper back. The specific agonistic reactions of attacking and defending rats appeared to involve strategies b...

Since the “communicative turn“ planning research has been intensively concerned with how conflicts should and are dealt with. Approaches of “agonistic“ theory contradict normative premise building consensus among participants. Rather, they want to make conflicting positions normatively fruitful for spatial development. At same time, emphasise a supposed duality protest, which is questioned in r...

The article examines the evolution of Western patristics from Augustine to Gregory Great and Isidore Seville in a dual aspect: power discourse power. former draws on truth, “place” which, according Aristotle, is judgment, while latter represents policy pursued by government. this case implemented as spread Christian education. realized form decisions legislative acts authorities, guided Roman t...

Innate immune complement activation generates the C3 and C5 protein cleavage products C3a C5a, defined classically as anaphylatoxins. activates C3aR, while C5a two receptors (C5aR1 C5aR2) to exert their immunomodulatory activities. The non-peptide compound, SB290157, was originally reported in 2001 first C3aR antagonist. In 2005, report on non-selective nature of SB290157 published, where compo...

Further purification of the apolar extracts of the sponge Plakinastrella mamillaris, afforded a new oxygenated polyketide named gracilioether K, together with the previously isolated gracilioethers E-G and gracilioethers I and J. The structure of the new compound has been elucidated by extensive NMR (1H and 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY) and ESI-MS analysis. With the exception of gracilioeth...
