When subjected to uni-axial cyclic stretch (120% in length, 1 Hz), fibroblasts (3Y1) aligned perpendicular to the stretch axis in a couple of hours. Concomitantly with this orienting response, protein tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins (molecular masses of approximately 70 kDa and 120-130 kDa) increased and peaked at 30 minutes. Immuno-precipitation experiments revealed that paxillin...

En un trabajo conjunto entre la Universidad del Tolima y Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia) en el Centro Nataima, Colombia, se generaron curvas tostión almendras Copoazú (Theobroma grandiflorum) evaluando efecto tiempo (20 25 minutos) temperatura (°C) (115, 120 130) sobre las características químicas sensoriales licor, catalogado como fino, aroma por poseer notas f...

A crescente conscientização acerca dos impactos da poluição gerada por combustíveisfósseis, levou países de todo o mundo a repensarem modo como se utilizar energia. Em 2015 notratado Paris durante COP21 Brasil assinou junto com mais 196 termo redução CO 2 naatmosfera. E uma das soluções para combustível renovável óleo canola é alternativa.O obtido sementes variedades Brassica sp., e amplamente ...

In the present work, systematic dating by luminescence methods has been done on 50 Quaternary geological samples within the study area of São Paulo State, Brazil. Bleaching experiments showed that residual TL intensity of 375 degrees C peak, of the quartz, was obtained after 10 h of sunlight exposition. Intensities decays of the 325 and 375 degrees C TL peaks can be fitted using second order ex...

BACKGROUND ETC-1002 is an oral, once-daily, first-in-class medication being developed to treat hypercholesterolemia. OBJECTIVES To compare 2 doses of ETC-1002, alone or combined with ezetimibe 10 mg (EZE), vs EZE monotherapy for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). METHODS This phase 2b, multicenter, double-blind trial-evaluated hypercholesterolemic patients (LDL-C, 130 to ...

BACKGROUND Accumulating data suggest a link between blood pressure and vascular inflammation. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the relationship between blood pressure, C-reactive protein (CRP), and incident first cardiovascular events among 15 215 women followed prospectively over a median of 8.1 years. In cross-sectional analyses at baseline, median levels of CRP for women with blood pressure...

We present the first 86 GHz VLBI observations of the radio galaxy 3C 120, together with contemporaneous 43 and 22 GHz polarimetric VLBA observations. The very high angular resolution obtained at 86 GHz provides an upper limit to the size of the core of 54 mas (0.025 h pc). This represents a direct determination of the base of the jet that is independent of variability arguments (which depend on...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE During atrial fibrillation ablation, heparin is required and is guided by the activated clotting time (ACT). Differences in the ACT before ablation and adequate initial heparin dosing in patients receiving non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) were examined. METHODS Patients who received warfarin (control, N = 90), dabigatran etexilate (N = 90), rivarox...

Nanosizedceria (n-CeO2) was synthesized by a facile method in 2-methylimidazolesolution. The characterization results of XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman and TEM indicate that n-CeO2 shows regular size 10 ± 1 nm, high surface area 130 m2·g−1 oxygen vacancies on the surface. A series CuO/n-CeO2 catalysts (CuCeOX) with different copper loading were prepared for preferential oxidation CO H2-ri...
