Carbon- and nitrogen-to-volume (C/V and N/V) ratios were determined for freshwater bacterial assemblages grown in lake water filtrate or in water enriched with nutrients (aqueous extract of lake seston, glucose, arginine, phosphate, or ammonium). Biovolume was measured by epifluorescence microphotography, and carbon and nitrogen biomasses were measured with a CHN analyzer. Despite large variati...

Introduction. HyStem-C™ is a commercially available injectable hydrogel composed of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), hyaluronan (HA), and gelatin (Gn). These components can be mechanically tuned to enhance cell viability and spreading. Methods. The concentration of PEGDA with an added disulfide bond (PEGSSDA) was varied from 0.5 to 8.0% (w/v) to determine the optimal concentration for in...

Abstract Background A specific, accurate, precise, robust, and cost-effective HPLC method was developed validated for quantitative analysis of Fimasartan Potassium Trihydrate Cilnidipine in fixed-dose combination. The isocratic elution accomplished by Symmetry C 18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 25 °C. Mobile phase composition is Methanol: Acetonitrile: Dihydrogen Phosphate buffer (pH 3) (60...

Livers of rats between the 16th gestational and 100th postnatal day of age were subjected to quantitative biochemical and electron microscope, morphometric analyses. The amount of total mitochondrial protein per gram of liver remained at 34% of the adult level throughout the last 4 days of gestation but this was the period of rapid rise in the levels of cytochrome c oxidase, aspartate aminotran...

A three-state stochastic model of motor protein Qian, Biophys. Chem., (1997)] is further developed to illustrate the relationship between the external load on an individual motor protein in aqueous solution with various ATP concentration and its steady-state velocity. A wide variety of dynamic motor behavior are obtained from this simple model. For the particular case of free-load translocation...

Comparative in vitro susceptibility of Proteus species isolated from clinical specimens to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and honey was evaluated using standard microbiological techniques. Honey was diluted by percent volume per volume concentration of 100%(neat), 80%(v/v), 60%(v/v), 40% (v/v), 20% (v/v) and 10% (v/v) and its antimicrobial activity against Proteus species compared to ciprofloxacin...

We numerically investigate the fractal structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter central charge c for −2 ≤ c ≤ 1. We reformulate Q-state Potts model into the model which can be identified as a weighted percolation cluster model and can make continuous change of Q, which relates c, on the dynamically triangulated lattice. The c-dependence of the critical coupling is measured...
