Dog hemoglobin has four sulphydryl groups at positions olfl (G18) and p93 (F9), all of which are titratable with mercurials. Only two of these, however, react with non-mercurial sulphydryl reagents. Kinetic results indicate that the reacting site might be the p”” (F9). An examination of the environment of the alI1 (G18) shows that this sulphydryl must be unreactive towards non-mercurials becaus...

OBJECTIVE This pilot study examined the extent to which a specific mechanism of emotion regulation - namely, ambivalence concerning the expressiveness of German soldiers' emotions - affects the severity of PTSD symptoms after a military operation. METHODOLOGY A survey was conducted at three points in time among 66 soldiers deployed on military crisis operations. The Harvard Trauma Questionair...

In Böcker and Klüppelberg (2005) we presented a simple approximation of OpVaR of a single operational risk cell. The present paper derives approximations of similar quality and simplicity for the multivariate problem. Our approach is based on modelling of the dependence structure of different cells via the new concept of a Lévy copula. JEL Classifications: G18,G39.

The conformations of aminoacyl- and deacylated tRNA Phe (yeast) have been compared by using the steroid progesterone and the tetranucleotides U-C-C-C and C-G-A-A as probes of transfer RNA ordered structure. U-C-C-C is complementary to G18-G19-G20-A21 in the dihydrouridine loop and C-G-A-A is complementary to T54-psi55-C56-G57 in the ribosylthymine loop. None of the probes bound to deacylated tR...

In rainfed areas, due to variable environmental factors, improving the yield stability of introduced cultivars along with increasing should be considered. The main aim this study is obtain high-yield wheat genotypes that are stable and adaptable cold climatic conditions in Iran. For purpose, 25 were evaluated a randomized complete blocks design three replications during cropping seasons (2013-2...

Previous work has established a number of sex-related deficits in immune function, behavior, and endocrine responses to stress in the offspring of dams exposed to ethanol. To examine the potential role of maternal glucocorticoids as a mediator of these sexually dimorphic effects in the fetus, we examined the influence of prenatal alcohol exposure in the presence or absence of maternal glucocort...

We have synthesized, separated, and purified approximately 10 mg of a deoxyundecanucleotide duplex containing a single centrally positioned covalent adduct between (+)-anti-benzo[a]pyrene (BP) diol epoxide and the exocyclic amino group of guanosine. Excellent proton NMR spectra are observed for the (+)-trans-anti-BP diol epoxide-N2-dG adduct positioned opposite dC and flanked by G.C pairs in th...

We present a detailed spectral analysis of the joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations active galactic nuclei (AGN) in Seyfert 1.5 Galaxy ESO 362-G18. The broadband ($0.3\mbox{--}79$ keV) spectrum shows presence power-law continuum with soft excess below $2$ keV, iron K$\alpha$ emission ($\sim 6.4$ keV), Compton hump (peaking at $\sim 20$ keV). find that can be modeled by two different possibl...
