Rabbits were inoculated with a suspension of VX2 carcinoma cells in the liver, and mitomycin C was given via the hepatic artery or the portal vein for a study of the anticancer effects. Twenty-eight rabbits were killed for preliminary study at 1 h or 1, 3, 7, 9, 12, or 14 days after the inoculation. Another 36 rabbits were divided into three groups. Groups A and B were given the agent (0.5 mg/k...

Adenoviruses are DNA viruses that infect a number of vertebrate hosts and are associated with both sporadic and epidemic disease in humans. We previously identified a novel adenovirus, titi monkey adenovirus (TMAdV), as the cause of a fulminant pneumonia outbreak in a colony of titi monkeys (Callicebus cupreus) at a national primate center in 2009. Serological evidence of infection by TMAdV was...

Non-generic feedback refers to a specific event and implies that performance is malleable, while generic feedback implies that task performance reflects an inherent ability. The present study examined the influences of generic versus non-generic feedback on motor performance and learning in 10-year-old children. In the first experiment, using soccer ball kicking at a target as a task, providing...

Although many attempts have been made to inoculate successfully ,the lower animals with portions of tumors from human beings they 'have in the great majority of cases been without results. In some instances the observers have claimed that they have been successful }rot their statements are, as a rule, not convincing. Carl Lewin 1 discusses this question of transplantation at length and reviews ...

ABSTRACT Pseudosclerotia were evaluated for differences in timing of apothecium development in four controlled experiments conducted over a 2-year period. In a separate experiment, conidia from 10 randomly selected isolates from both of the fungal populations were used to inoculate open flowers. Germination of pseudosclerotia produced from these artificial inoculations also was evaluated. The t...

Abstract Verticillium longisporum is a soil-borne vascular pathogen of oilseed rape and other Brassica crops. The limited availability chemical control measures against pathogens calls for the exploration alternatives. Cross-protection may be conveyed by use non-pathogenic or non-aggressive isolates potential as biocontrol agents. V. consists three lineages that originated from independent hybr...

Inoculation of corn (Zea mays) seeds with Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd or Sp 7 significantly enhanced (30 to 50% over controls) the uptake of NO(3), K, and H(2)PO(4) into 3- to 4-day- and 2-week-old root segments. No gross changes in root morphology were observed; altered cell arrangement in the outer four or five layers of the cortex was seen in photomicrographs of cross sections of inocu...
