There is mounting evidence that Fc epsilon RII (CD23) and its soluble fragments (IgE-binding factors [BFs] or soluble CD23) have pleiotropic activities. IgE-BFs are formed mainly by the proteolytic cleavage of surface Fc epsilon RII; they are first released as 37- and 33-kD unstable molecules that are subsequently transformed into 25-kD IgE-BFs. In this study, purified and radioiodinated 37-kD ...

The fluorescence emission of 1-N6-etheno-2-aza-ATP (epsilon-aza-ATP) at 410-460 nm is enhanced approximately 8-fold upon mixing substoichiometric concentrations of epsilon-aza-ATP with bovine cardiac actomyosin-S1 or myofibrils. The time course of nucleotide fluorescence measured in a front face stopped flow cell upon mixing epsilon-aza-ATP with bovine cardiac myofibrils ([Ca2+] less than 10(-7...

Park and Pham's recent proof of the Kahn-Kalai conjecture was a major breakthrough in field graph hypergraph thresholds. Their result gives an upper bound on threshold at which probabilistic construction has $1-\epsilon$ chance achieving given monotone property. While their other parameters is optimal up to constant factors for any fixed $\epsilon$, it does not have dependence $\epsilon$ as $\e...

We present experimental results for patterns of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical container with static sidewall forcing. The fluid used was methanol, with a Prandlt number sigma=7.17 , and the aspect ratio was Gamma identical withR/d approximately 19 ( R is the radius and d the thickness of the fluid layer). In the presence of a small heat input along the sidewall, a sudden jump of t...

To elucidate the mechanism of IL-4-induced enhancement of IgE and IgG1 production, murine splenic B cells and A-MuLV-transformed cells were cultured with LPS and IL-4 and assayed for epsilon and gamma 1 transcripts. Concomitant treatment with IL-4 and LPS induced expression of C epsilon transcripts in both normal and transformed cells. Expression of these truncated C epsilon transcripts precede...

We calculate universal finite-size scaling functions for systems with an n-component order parameter and algebraically decaying interactions. Just as previously found for short-range interactions, this leads to a singular epsilon expansion, where epsilon is the distance to the upper critical dimension. Subsequently, we check the results by numerical simulations of spin models in the same univer...

High-fidelity quantum state transfer is critical for communication and scalable computation. Current algorithms on the complete bipartite graph, which are based discrete-time walk search algorithms, suffer from low fidelity in some cases. To solve this problem, paper we propose a two-stage algorithm graph. The achieved by generalized Grover with one marked vertex. walk’s coin operators query or...

We examined the effects of structural and physiological acclimation on the photosynthetic efficiency of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) shoots. We estimated daily light interception (DLI) and photosynthesis (DPHOT) of a number of sample shoots situated at different positions in the canopy. Photosynthetic efficiency (epsilon) was defined as the ratio of DPHOT to the potential daily light interc...
