We identify nearby disk galaxies with optical structural parameters similar to those of intermediateredshift compact blue galaxies. By comparing H I and optical emission-line widths, we show that the optical widths substantially underestimate the true kinematic widths of the local galaxies. By analogy, optical emission-line widths may underrepresent the masses of intermediate-z compact objects....

The association between acute renal disease and infection has been known since the mid ‘800s. PIGN is a reactive immunological process against kidney secondary to an infection, classically caused by Streptococcus. Because usually ongoing at time GN diagnosed, term infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) proposed. Acute post-streptococcal [APSGN] most common form of encountered in children. ...

BACKGROUND Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an important problem in cattle production that is responsible for economic losses in dairy herds. Mycoplasma spp. are described as an important etiological agent of BRD. HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the occurrence of the most important mycoplasmas in the lower respiratory tract of healthy and BRD cattle in relationship to clinical signs of BRD. ANIMA...

The technological aspects of modification epoxy oligomer DER – 331 to provide improvement thermophysical characteristics composite materials and protective coatings based on them are presented. Cold-cured triethylenetetramine TETA hardener was used crosslink the binder (q = 10 parts by weight per 100 DER-331 resin). Thermogravimetric (TGA) differential thermal (DTA) analysis performed study mod...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) and disease relapse are challenging clinical problems in the treatment of leukaemia. Relapsed disease is frequently refractory to chemotherapy and exhibits multiple drug resistance. Therefore, it is important to identify the mechanism by which cancer cells develop resistance. In this study, we used microRNA (miRNA) microarray and qRT-PCR approaches to investigate the ...
