Cellular behavior is frequently influenced by the cell's history, indicating that single cells may memorize past events. We report that budding yeast permanently escape pheromone-induced cell-cycle arrest when experiencing a deceptive mating attempt, i.e., not reaching their putative partner within reasonable time. This acquired behavior depends on super-assembly and inactivation of the G1/S in...

The photoinitiated cobalt-mediated radical polymerization enables the synthesis of novel α-functional and α,ω-telechelic polymers. In combination with ring-opening polymerization, it also produces new amphiphilic copolymers which self-assemble into flower-like vesicles in water.

• Complex formation of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) with molecular iodine has been studied in aqueous solutions. Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) exhibits greater ability to bind compared Iodophors based on exhibited similar antimicrobial properties. Formation iodophors by interactions dissolved solutions addition potassium iodide ethanol using a range physicochemical techniq...

Two thermoresponsive polymers based on alkyl modified poly-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) that exhibit very sensitive and reversible temperature-dependant water solubility are described. The application of these polymers as Au nanocatalyst stabilizers leads to a "smart" thermoresponsive Au nanoparticle catalyst.

The interaction between poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and cesium and tetraalkylammonium (tetramethyl to tetrabutyl ammonium) dodecylsulfate has been investigated by means of electrical conductivity measurements to determine the critical aggregation concentration (cac) of the surfactants in the presence of polymer. The cac values were compared to the values of the critical micel...

Abstract Polyaniline-based cryogels were prepared by oxidative cryopolymerization in the presence of various concentrations poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) and phytic acid used as a polymer support dopant, respectively. Mechanical strength handling stability resulting macroporous materials (pore size up to 70 μm) significantly improved addition into polymerization system compared crosslinked only acid...

The study of the topological classiication of complex polynomials began in the XIX-th century by Luroth (1871), Clebsch (1873) and Hurwitz (1891). In the works of Zdravkovska 23] and Khovanskii and Zdravkovska 17] the problem is reduced to a purely combinatorial one, that of the study of a certain action of the braid groups on a class of tree-like gures that we, following 14], call \cacti". Usi...

Analysis of the chemokine analogs synthesised on a terpolymer-polystyrene, N-vinylpyrrolidone, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate crosslinked resin (PS-NVP-HDDA) showed it can be used good solid support for chemical synthesis polypeptides. The polymer with swelling character and resistance was by radical aqueous suspension polymerisation technique. HPLC analysis crude peptides PS-NVP-HDDA that is better...
