The ~.11 light chain is encoded by a single germ-line vx~ and cx~ gene. Upon committment, the vx~ gene is translocated in cis to a transcription unit which includes the ca: gene separated from vxa by a nontranslated stretch of some 1,250 nucleotides (intron) (1). This unit is then transcribed as the high molecular weight nuclear RNA (HnRHA) which must be processed by excision of the intron to y...

The toxicity for analogues of sarin (GB), soman (GD), and VX was evaluated using Hydra attenuata as a model organism. The organophosphate nerve agent analogue simulants used in this investigation included the following: isopropyl p-nitrophenyl methylphosphonate (for GB); pinacolyl p-nitrophenyl methylphosphonate (for GD); and diisopropyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl)phosphorothioate, diethyl S-(2...

For plants and algae, exposure to high light levels is deleterious to their photosynthetic machineries. It also can accelerate water evaporation and thus potentially lead to drought stress. Most photosynthetic organisms protect themselves against high light caused photodamages by xanthophyll cycle-dependent thermal energy dissipation. It is generally accepted that high light activates xanthophy...

The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complex of photosystem II (LHCII) is able to switch to multiple functions under different light conditions (i.e. harvesting solar energy for photosynthesis and dissipating excess excitation energy for photoprotection). The role of the different carotenoids bound to LHCII in regulating the structure and function of the complex is a long-lasting question in ph...

AIM To investigate the role of tumor apoptosis-inhibitory protein survivin in arsenic trioxide-induced apoptosis in VX-2 carcinoma in the rabbit liver by means of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. METHODS Sixteen rabbits with 32 implanted hepatic VX-2 tumors were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group received 2 mg of arsenic trioxide and 1 mL of ultra-fluid lipiodol...

The authors analyzed over 200 cases of acute poisoning with sarin, soman and VX chemical, determined risk of the poisoning in various conditions. The clinical manifestations of acute poisoning and the long-term effects are presented.

We construct a family of integrable equations the form vt = f(v; vx; vxx; vxxx) such that f is transcendental function in v; vxx. This related to Krichever-Novikov equation by differential substitution. Our construction and corresponding substitutions involves geometry genus two curves their Jacobians.
