Instability of high frequency wave, such as, Langmuir wave (LW) is studied using fluid model in collisional and streaming dusty plasma with dust charge fluctuation. In irradiated dusty plasma, dust charge fluctuation is considered to be due to the combined effect of LW perturbation and photoelectron emission. The piled up electrons on a dust grain due to LW perturbation can be swept out by phot...

Objective: Beside neurological morbidity, mortality is a relevant end-point of experimental porcine model of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and this study was conducted to identify the determinants for postoperative death. Methods: One hundred and thirty-five pigs underwent a 75-min period of HCA at 208C to evaluate the efficacy of different methods of cerebral protection. Results: Surviv...

Over a 5-yr period, spring-calving cows were used in a carry-over design experiment to evaluate effects of calf age at weaning on cow and calf performance and production economics. Weaning management groups were early (n = 60, calf age 150 d, EW), traditional (n = 60, calf age 210 d, NW), and late (n = 60, calf age 270 d, LW). Cow body condition score (BCS) and weights at the last weaning date ...

The way in which women accommodate for their increased nutritional needs during the lactation period is poorly investigated. In a cross-sectional study involving 220 lactating women (LW), equally distributed in economic quintiles (Q2, Q3, Q4), we investigated whether habitual dietary intake of LW differed from that of 200 pre-pregnant women (PPW) studied using the same methodology. Differences ...

DOI: 10.5581/1516-8484.20130042 Even though the anti-LW antibody has little clinical importance, the present report aims at demonstrating that one must be careful about its possible identification. The weak anti-LW may be confused with anti-D autoor allo-antibodies and differentiating them is important particularly in women during the fertile period, and in RhDpregnant women, due to the possibi...

To evaluate treatments purportedly beneficial for livestock grazing locoweeds (LW), growing rats were fed diets containing 10 or 20% whole-plant Oxytropis sericea (LW) with and without Silent Herder mineral mix (1.5% of diet) or bentonite clay (1.5% of diet). Pregnant female rats fed 10% LW were treated i.m. with Banamine (a prostaglandins suppressor) or saline. The LW contained swainsonine (43...

The RhD polypeptide and LW glycoprotein were separately immunopurified with monoclonal antibodies and compared by two-dimensional (2-D) iodopeptide mapping after digestion with alpha-chymotrypsin. These proteins have distinct 2-D maps, as seen after 125I-labeling tyrosine residues (chloramine-T procedure), and even more strikingly after labeling primary amine residues (Bolton-Hunter procedure)....

Recent analysis of the complete mosquito Anopheles gambiae genome has revealed a far higher number of opsin genes than for either the Drosophila melanogaster genome or any other known insect. In particular, the analysis revealed an extraordinary opsin gene content expansion, whereby half are long wavelength-sensitive (LW) opsin gene duplicates. We analyzed this genomic data in relationship to o...

The LW blood group antigens reside on a 42-kDa erythrocyte membrane glycoprotein that was purified by immunoaffinity and partially sequenced. From this information, a specific PCR-amplified DNA fragment was used to screen a lambda gt11 human bone marrow cDNA library. Two forms of cDNA were isolated; the first encoded a single spanning transmembrane protein of 270 amino acids, including a 29-ami...
