The article refers to the technique of biomagnetical separation (BS) of mRNA using "Dynabeads mRNA DIRECT". After a brief survey of RNA isolation methods authors describe a general procedure of BS as well as its concrete application for mRNA isolation from bronchoalveolar cells. Authors report results of specific experiments to assess the efficiency and accuracy of mRNA isolation by BS. The app...

Seventy-seven male kids were used to compare growth performance of Spanish (S, n=26), BoerxAngora (BA, n=21) and BoerxSpanish (BS, n=30) kids during the preweaning period. All kids were removed from does 3 days postpartum, moved indoors and randomly allocated to individual cages. Kids received goat milk fortified with milk replacer for approximately 1 week followed by 600ml of milk replacer (23...

Securing surveillance wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in hostile environments such as borders, perimeters and battlefields during Base Station (BS) failure is challenging. Surveillance WSNs are highly vulnerable to BS failure. The attackers can render the network useless by only destroying the BS as the needed efforts to destroy the BS is much less than that is needed to destroy the network. Th...

This paper presents a methodology for indirectly estimating the scale of seabird bycatch using existing data. The study focuses on five key species ducks that winter in Polish waters Baltic Sea and are highly susceptible to bycatch: Long-tailed Duck, Velvet Scoter, Common Greater Scaup, Tufted Duck. evaluation units used divided into Bornholm (BS) Gotland Subdivisions (GS) within Exclusive Econ...

INTRODUCTION Our purpose is to describe the demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with blepharospasm (BS) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) in treatment with botulinum toxin type A (BtA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with BS or HFS and treated with BtA in the Neurology Department at Complejo Asistencial de Segovia between March 1991 an...

We use experimental information on D– d K*”p– and B ~ + + K“, coupled with flavor independence of QCD, and with vector meson dominance to show that long distance contributions to B + p+ T, especially to B– ~ p– + ~, are potentially very serious. Estimates based on the annihilation graph are shown to lead to similar conclusions. different in B~ p+ T and We emph=ize that long-distance (LD) contri...

The brownseed mutants (bs(1), bs(2), and bs(4)) of tomato all possess dark testae and deleteriously affect seed germination speed and/or final percentage. Poor germination performance of the bs(1) but not the bs(4) mutant, was due to greater impediment to radicle egress. Testa toughening (bs(1)) was prevented by drying in N(2). However, poor germination speed was hardly affected by drying. GA(4...

BACKGROUND Exposure to noxious gases and particles contained in both tobacco smoking (TS) and biomass smoke (BS) are well recognized environmental risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is characterized by an abnormal inflammatory response, both in the pulmonary and systemic compartments. The differential effects of TS, BS or their combined exposure have not been we...

The peptidyl nucleoside blasticidin S (BS) isolated from Streptomyces griseochromogenes was the first non-mercurial fungicide used on a large scale to prevent rice blast. In the biosynthesis of BS, leucylblasticidin S (LBS) was suggested as the penultimate metabolite with 20-fold less inhibitory activity than the final product BS. Incomplete conversion of LBS to BS at a variable efficiency rang...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with localized as well as plane-wave basis functions are performed for the recently reported dicopper thiolate species Cu2 (NGuaS)2 Cl2 [NGuaS = 2-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino) benzenethiolate, C11 H16 N3 S] and its bromo derivative [Neuba et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 1714.]. For both hybrid and semilocal functionals, the neutral complexe...
