We discuss the possibility of observing atomic phase conjugation from Bose condensates, and using it as a diagnostic tool to access the spatial coherence properties and to measure the lifetime of the condensate. We argue that since phase conjugation results from the scattering of a partial matter wave off the spatial grating produced by two other waves, it offers a natural way to directly measu...

She notices the formal similarity between the stem tuk‘attachINTRANS’ in (1a) and tuke‘attachTRANS’ in (1b). These two represent the two main verb conjugations in Japanese: tukrepresents the consonant stem or godan conjugation, while tukerepresents the vowel stem or ichidan conjugation. The learner also notices the grammatical relationship between the two stems: tukis the intransitive and tuket...

The clinical evaluation of stabilized tetrameric hemoglobin as alternatives to red cells revealed that the materials caused significant increases in blood pressure and related problems and this was attributed to the scavenging of nitric oxide and extravasation. The search for materials with reduced vasoactivity led to the report that conjugates of hemoglobin tetramers and polyethylene glycol (P...

Conjugation to macromolecular carriers is a proven strategy for improving the pharmacokinetics of drugs, with many stable polyethylene glycol conjugates having reached the market. Stable conjugates suffer several limitations: loss of drug potency due to conjugation, confining the drug to the extracellular space, and the requirement for a circulating conjugate. Current research is directed towar...

r-phycoerythrin (r-pe), a fluorescent protein from phycobiliprotein family, is isolated from red algae. conjugation of antibodies to r-pe facilitates multiple fluorescent staining methods. in the present study polyclonal antibodies and polyclonal f(ab')2 fragment antibodies were conjugated to r-pe by two different methods. the efficiency of the methods was evaluated using immunocytochemistry (i...
