The photochemical properties of purified 124 kilodalton (kD) Avena cv Garry phytochrome are examined and compared with those of the proteolytically degraded 118/114 kD species. The proportion of the chromoprotein in the far red absorbing form, Pfr, following saturating red irradiation is 0.86 for 124 kD phytochrome, substantially higher than the values of 0.79 determined here and 0.75 reported ...

Sairei-to (TJ-114), a Japanese traditional medicine, has been used clinically for the treatment of various edematous disorders. The inhibitory effect on edema may be dependent on the diuretic response to TJ-114. This study was conducted to clarify the mechanism of diuresis. Pentobarbital-anesthetized rats were infused with a saline solution intravenously (0.4 mL/30 min). Urine was collected thr...

In this article we report the results of global structural optimization of the Si(114) surface, which is a stable highindex orientation of silicon. We use two independent procedures recently developed for the determination of surface reconstructions, the parallel-tempering Monte Carlo method and the genetic algorithm. These procedures, coupled with the use of a highly optimized interatomic pote...

Epidemiology of bite wounds in dogs resulted from intraspecies conflict were treated and evaluated from 114 records in 1999-2003 at Small Animal Clinic, Department of Surgery, University of Adnan Menderes in Aydın. Type and time of injury and body areas injured were rewieved in 105 dogs and 9 cats that were bitten by dogs. Male dogs were more frequently bitten than females. The weight distribut...

When fruit set and rainfall are sufficient, grape yields in Arkansas are high, but rain is not always sufficient in Arkansas. There is enough, in terms of inches, but it often comes at the wrong times. Records during the past 20 years have shown that in all but 3 years in Northwest Arkansas, there have been brief dry spells during the growing season that lasted for at least two or three weeks. ...

We report on 450 and 850 km observations of the interacting galaxy pair VV 114 E]W (IC 1623), taken with the SCUBA camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, and near-infrared observations taken with the UKIRT Fast-Track Imager on the UK Infrared Telescope. The system VV 114 is in an early stage of a gas-rich merger. We detect submillimeter emission extended over 30A (12 kpc) and Ðnd a good c...
