Patients with T gamma lymphocytosis are a heterogeneous group, clearly distinguishable from other patients with chronic T lymphoproliferative disorders and usually without proven malignancy. We have attempted in vitro cloning of lymphocytes from three patients with an expansion of phenotypically and functionally different types of T gamma cells. One had T3+ B73.1+ T4 T8+ OKM1+ T gamma cells exe...

INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the results of a screening evaluation of arsenic, cadmium, and lead in fertilizer products. This evaluation was conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), at the request of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), to evaluate potential health risks from fertilizer products sold in Minnesota (MDA 1998a; MDH 1998a). This report includes: (i) t...

Four novel Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-carrying T-cell lines, designated SIS, AIK-T8, AIK-T4, and SKN, were established from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of patients with severe chronic active EBV infection, in the presence of interleukin-2 and 4-deoxyphorbol ester. AIK-T8 and -T4 were derived from a single patient. Cell marker and genotype analyses showed that SIS, AIK-T8, and AIK-T4 had ma...

This study was aimed at characterizing the role of BCRP/MXR/ABCP (BCRP) in resistance of the human ovarian tumor cell lines T8 and MX3 to camptothecins more extensively and investigating whether resistance can be reversed by inhibiting BCRP by GF120918. Camptothecins studied were topotecan, CPT-11, and its active metabolite SN-38, 9-aminocamptothecin, and the novel experimental camptothecins NX...

in order to evaluate the effect of using zinc granulated phosphorous biofertilizer on yield and yield components of white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed. experimental treatment were included of using phosphate and triple super phosphorous chemical fertilizer at five levels (without using of chemi...

Nitrogen (N) losses negatively impact groundwater quality. Spring wheat genotypes varying in N-fertilizer recovery were studied (by using lysimeters) for their potential to minimize NO3-N leaching during spring and summer, over a three-year period. Additionally, we examined to what extent root growth and NO3-N leaching explain the well-known difference found between apparent and isotopic N reco...

Tiarks, A.E. and Haywood, J.D., 1986. Pinw taeda L. response to fertilization, herbaceous plant control, and woody plant control. For. Ecol. Manage., 14 : 103-1 12. On an intensively prepared site, a complete fertilizer applied at planting, and control of herbaceous and woody plants for the first 4 years, increased Pinus taeda L. volume at age 5 to 25.9 m3/ha compared t o 11.8 m3/ha without the...

Inorganic fertilizer use across Sub-Saharan Africa is generally considered to be low. Yet, the notion that fertilizer use is too low is predicated on the assumption that it is profitable to use rates higher than currently observed. There is, however, limited empirical evidence to support this. Using a nationally representative panel dataset, this paper empirically estimates the profitability of...

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crude oil price on global fertilizer prices in both the mean and volatility. The endogenous structural breakpoint unit root test, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, and alternative volatility models, including the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model, Exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model, an...
