The rotational mobility of the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier has been studied solubilized in Triton micelles, reincorporated in phospholipid liposomes, and in mitochondria. Spin-labeled analogues of the noncovalent inhibitors carboxyatractyloside and atractyloside were found to be strongly immobilized when bound to the carrier [Munding, A., Beyer, K., & Klingenberg, M. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 1...

The theoretical treatment of cycle-effects on total pi-electron energy, mainly elaborated by Nenad Trinajstic and his research group, is re-stated in a general and more formal manner. It enables to envisage several other possible ways of measuring the cycle-effects and points at further directions of research.

Electron thermal fluxes are derived from the power balance for Tore Supra (TS) and NSTX discharges with centrally deposited fast wave electron heating. Measurements of the electron temperature and density profiles, combined with ray tracing computations of the power absorption profiles, allow detailed interpretation of the thermal flux versus temperature gradient. Evidence supporting the occurr...

We describe a case of rotational dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the ring finger. This injury was not initially appreciated and therefore closed reduction failed. The clinical findings included puckering of the skin on the dorsum of the joint and rotational incongruity on radiographs. At open reduction there was interposition of the lateral band. Identification of the patho...

We report on the detection of DCO+ and, tentatively, DCN in their rotational J=2–1 transitions towards the N159 region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These detections of deuterated molecules in an extragalactic source complement those already published by Chin et al. (1996). The resulting estimate of theHCO+/DCO+ abundance ratio is 120+60 −60 (total 2σ uncertainties).Assuming aGalacticD/H...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES Standard 3D-CRT after BCS may cause skin toxicity with a wide range of intensity including acute effects like erythema or late effects. In order to reduce these side effects it is mandatory to identify potential factors of influence in breast cancer patients undergoing standard three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) of the breast and modern systemic therapy. ...
