White lupin (Lupinus albus L.), a winter legume crop with tremendous potential as food crop, has been evaluated at Virginia State University for several years. This effort developed winter-hardy, high-yielding lines, which vary in alkaloid concentration the seeds. Current study was conducted to characterize various component of seed especially coat and cotyledon portion seeds five lines (VSU-1,...

The majority of those named as authors of the article did not have an opportunity to review and verify the data and to approve the manuscript. This unfortunate situation came to light when the article was published. In view of this irregularity in the submission process, we request that that paper be retracted. We believe that the alcohol-ablation technique described is a useful procedure in se...

Brain-specific AP180 is present in clathrin coats at equal concentration to the adapter complex, AP2, and assembles clathrin faster than any other protein in vitro. Both AP180 and its ubiquitously expressed homolog clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukemia protein (CALM) control vesicle size and shape in clathrin mediated endocytosis. The clathrin assembly role of AP180 is mediated by a long ...

The moisture sorption behaviour of three coating thicknesses of shellac and polyurethane films on Dalbergia sissoo substrate is studied in this paper. The thin films of either coat failed to reduce the water vapour transmission significantly. However, the thick coats were able to reduce this rate illustrating the importance film thickness of coating used on surfaces of wood products. The increm...

Light microscopy of tissue sections stained with cationic iron colloid (pH 1.0-1.5) showed that the adult rat spinal cord contains some neurons which are provided with strongly negative-charged surface coats. These neurons are distributed preferentially in the posterior and intermediomedial columns of the grey matter. The present study thus supplements our previous study of the rat brain (MURAK...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To report a case and the unique histopathology of a necrotic uveal melanoma mimicking advanced Coats' disease in a young adult. METHOD A 26-year-old male presented with a blind, painful eye, total exudative retinal detachment, and bulbous aneurysms consistent with Coats' disease. No masses were visualized on ultrasound or CT scan, and the patient underwent enucleation of the e...
