Following previous investigations on H2 O and H2 O by cavity ring-down spectroscopy, this method has now been applied to investigate the energy region of the 5m polyad in the absorption spectrum of H2 O. In the range 16570–17125 cm , the highest energy range investigated for the H2 O isotopologue so far, 516 lines are attributed to H2 O and assigned from a newly generated line list. 2006 Elsevi...

Introduction: Several supra spinal areas such as rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) area are involved in basic cardiovascular regulation. The Kolliker— Fuse nucleus (KF) is located in pons and is heavily connected with RVLM. The cardiovascular effect of KF nucleus has been shown and it is suggested that KF is involved in sympathetic vasomotor tone and basic cardiovascular regulation. Therefor...

Single-stranded M13mp18 phage DNA was methylated with dimethylsulfate (DMS), and further treated with alkali to ring-open N7-methylguanine residues and yield 2-6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5N-methylformamidopyrimidine (Fapy) residues. Nucleotide incorporation during in vitro DNA synthesis on methylated template using E. coli DNA polymerase Klenow fragment (Kf polymerase) was reduced compared to the unme...

The KF metamodel [Keet and Fillottrani, 2013, Keet and Fillottrani, 2014] is a comprehensive unifying metamodel covering the static structural entities and constraints of UML Class Diagrams (v2.4.1), ER, EER, ORM, and ORM2, and intended to boost interoperability of common conceptual data modelling languages. It was originally designed in UML with textual constraints, and in this report we prese...

Kahalalide F (KF) is a novel marine-derived antitumor agent that is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials. The mechanism of action of KF is not well understood. In line with previous reports, we show that KF caused rapid and potent cytotoxicity in the breast cancer cell lines SKBR3 and BT474, characterized by cytoplasmic swelling and DNA clumping. Several markers of caspase-dependent ap...

KF-1 was originally identified as a protein encoded by human gene with increased expression in the cerebral cortex of a patient with Alzheimer's disease. In mouse brain, kf-1 mRNA is detected predominantly in the hippocampus and cerebellum, and kf-1 gene expression is elevated also in the frontal cortex of rats after chronic antidepressant treatments. KF-1 mediates E2-dependent ubiquitination a...

Kiwifruit (KF) effects on the human glycaemic response to co-ingested wheat cereal were determined. Participants (n = 20) consumed four meals in random order, all being made to 40 g of the same available carbohydrate, by adding kiwifruit sugars (KF sug; glucose, fructose, sucrose 2:2:1) to meals not containing KF. The meals were flaked wheat biscuit (WB)+KFsug, WB+KF, WB+guar gum+KFsug, WB+guar...

Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets (ketogenic diets) might prevent tumor progression and could be used as supportive therapy; however, few studies have addressed the effect of such diets on colorectal cancer. An infant formula with a ketogenic composition (ketogenic formula; KF) is used to treat patients with refractory epilepsy. We investigated the effect of KF on cancer and cancer cachexia in c...
