The synthesis of many constituents of connective tissues, including glycosaminoglycans (Grossfeld, Meyer, Godman, and Linker, 1957), collagen (Jackson and Smith, 1957; Porter and Pappas, 1959), collagenase (Evanson, Jeffrey, and Krane, 1967) and a protein immunologically cross-reactive with chondromucoprotein (Janis, Sandson, Smith, and Hamerman, 1967), has been widely studied in cell cultures ...

Indian forests are a major source of large number of non-wood forest products. One such product is an exudate tree gum, regionally called as gum Kondagogu (Cochlospermum gossypium DC.), belonging to the family Bixaceae. This gum is collected by tribals in the state of Andhra Pradesh and marketed by Girijan Cooperative Society, Andhra Pradesh, India. Experimental work carried out in our laborato...

Open-flavor strong decays are mediated by qq̄ pair production, which is known to occur dominantly with P0 quantum numbers. The relation of the phenomenological P0 model of these decays to “microscopic” QCD decay mechanisms has never been clearly established. In this paper we investigate qq̄ meson decay amplitudes assuming pair production from the scalar confining interaction (sKs) and from one gl...
