Biotransformation of mycotoxins in animals comprises phase I and phase II metabolisation reactions. For the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON), several phase II biotransformation reactions have been described resulting in DON-glutathiones, DON-glucuronides and DON-sulfates made by glutathione-S-transferases, uridine-diphosphoglucuronyl transferases and sulfotransferases, respectively. These met...

As profit margins gradually decline, and market competition becomes increasingly intensive, 3G telecom operatorsmust provide variousmobile value-added services, aswell as traditional voice services, to attract new subscribers and retain old ones. However, for many 3G mobile value-added services, whether ARPU (average revenue per user) can be effectively enhanced depends on the consumer behavior...

Early dark energy (EDE) is a proposed solution to the Hubble tension in which new cosmological field accelerates cosmic expansion prior recombination and reduces physical size of sound horizon. In previous work, slight preference for non-zero EDE contribution was found latest Atacama Cosmology Telescope data (ACT DR4), while Planck satellite legacy alone do not show evidence it. this we use mos...

We used a multivariate data analysis approach to identify motifs associated with HIV hypermutation by different APOBEC3 enzymes. The analysis showed that APOBEC3G targets G mainly within GG, TG, TGG, GGG, TGGG and also GGGT. The G nucleotides flanked by a C at the 3' end (in +1 and +2 positions) were indicated as disfavoured targets by APOBEC3G. The G nucleotides within GGGG were found to be ta...

In a study of eight, healthy adult volunteers given 3 g amoxycillin with or without 1g probenecid, significantly higher peak plasma levels of amoxycilin were recorded in the presence (34.96 microgram/ml) of probenecid than in its absence (22.72 microgram/ml). When plasma levels were plotted against time the mean area under the curve was significantly greater for subjects given probenecid than f...
