The present trial examined the possibility that diazepam (DZP, 1 mg/kg) induces hyperphagia by acting on the dopaminergic system. Quinpirole (QP), dopamine D-2 receptor agonist, was used for this purpose. Mice fasted for 24 hr were treated with QP 1 (QP-1) or 2 (QP-2) mg/kg 30 min prior to termination of the starvation. DZP was given to untreated mice and half of the QP-1 and QP-2 treated mice ...

Introduction Industrial applications of lentil (LP) and quinoa (QP) proteins are limited due to their relatively poor water solubility. In this study, a combination protein-protein interaction (PPI) fermentation was used improve the functionality nutritional value LP by conjugating them with QP. The reaction conditions between QP for producing these conjugates were established. Methods ratio eq...

In this article we show that the quotient M∞/B(Qp) of the Lubin–Tate space at infinite level M∞ by the Borel subgroup of upper triangular matrices B(Qp) ⊂ GL2(Qp) exists as a perfectoid space. As an application we show that Scholze’s functor H i ét(PCp ,Fπ ) is concentrated in degree one whenever π is an irreducible principal series representation or a twist of the Steinberg representation of G...

We present an algorithm that returns a proper factor of a polynomial Φ(x) over the p-adic integers Zp (if Φ(x) is reducible over Qp) or returns a power basis of the ring of integers of Qp[x]/Φ(x)Qp[x] (if Φ(x) is irreducible over Qp). Our algorithm is based on the Round Four maximal order algorithm. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is considerably faster than the Round Four algo...

Several bacterial cultures were isolated that are able to degrade quinoline and to transform or to degrade methylquinolines. The degradation of quinoline by strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa QP and P. putida QP produced hydroxyquinolines, a transient pink compound, and other undetermined products. The quinoline-degrading strains of P. aeruginosa QP and P. putida QP hydroxylated a limited number...

[1] We analyze high dynamic range waveform spectra to determine t* values for both P and S waves from earthquakes in southern California. We invert the t* values for threedimensional (3-D) frequency-independent QP and QS regional models of the crust. The models have 15 km horizontal grid spacing and an average vertical grid spacing of 4 km, down to 22 km depth, and extend from the U.S.-Mexico b...

Let p be a prime, Zp the ring of p-adic integers, Qp the field of p-adic numbers, and Qp the algebraic closure of Qp. Let Fp be the algebraic closure of the finite field Fp, and ω : Fp → Qp the Techmüller lifting. Let q = pa, χ a multiplicative character of Fq into Q, and ψ a character of Zp[μq−1] into Q of exact order pn > 1, where μr is the set of r-th roots of unity in Qp. For simplicity, we...
