Using an RNase protection assay, globin mRNA species expressed in clones derived from Ba/F3 and B6SUtA cells transfected with the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) and selected with erythropoietin (Epo) were compared with globin mRNA species induced in corresponding parental cells by sodium butyrate (SB) and trichostatin A (TSA). betaMajor/betaminor- and -1/-2-globin mRNAs were the major species, ...

Introduction: Subchondral bone (SB) micro-fracture due to high-impact loading is a key factor leading to post traumatic knee osteoarthritis [1]. The apparent-level impact mechanics of SB has been previously investigated using mechanical tests [2]. However, to investigate the osteochondral injuries, the tissue-level impact mechanics, especifically, the mechanical parameters associated with SB mi...

PURPOSE To determine the effects of ingesting caffeine (CAFF) and sodium bicarbonate (SB), taken individually and simultaneously, on 3-km cycling time-trial (TT) performance. METHOD Ten well-trained cyclists, age 24.2 ± 5.4 yr, participated in this acute-treatment, double-blind, crossover study that involved four 3-km cycling TTs performed on separate days. Before each TT, participants ingest...

This paper presents the mathematical framework involved in the determination of an upper bound of the maximum spread value of a D-dimensional Turbo-Code of frame size N. This bound is named Sphere Bound (SB). It is obtained using some simple properties of Euclidian space (sphere packing in a finite volume). The SB obtained for dimension 2 is equal to N. 2. This result has already been conjectur...

Extremely large reduction of resistivity was demonstrated in La2O2Sb with a Sb square net by forming an epitaxial thin film.

The crystal structure of a specimen of `Pb-rich' chabournéite from Jas Roux, Hautes-Alpes, France, with the chemical formula obtained by electron microprobe analysis of Ag(0.04 (1))Tl(2.15 (2))Pb(0.64 (1))Sb(5.12 (1))As(5.05 (1))S(17.32 (5)), has been solved by X-ray single-crystal diffraction on the basis of 36,550 observed reflections (with F(o) > 4σF(o)) with a final R1 = 0.074. Pb-rich chab...

The Sb atom in the centrosymmetric title complex, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)O], has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The bridging oxide O atom occupies one of the axial sites, while the O atom of the chloroacetate ligand occupies the other.

The reaction of antimony(III) oxide with ethylamine, in molar ratios from 1:1 to 1:10, in concentrated hydrobromic acid leads to the formation of one product – bis(ethylammonium) pentabromoantimonate(III). The structure of (C2H5NH3)2[SbBr5] was determined at 298 and 90 K, below and above the phase transition that occurs at about 158.5 K. The orthorhombic system was found in both phases, space g...
