The so-called linear reversal mode is demonstrated in spin model simulations of the high anisotropy material Llo FePt. Reversal of the magnetization is found to readily occur in the linear regime despite an energy barrier (KV / kB T) that would conventionally ensure stability on this timescale. The timescale for the reversal is also established with a comparison to the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equ...

Results are presented oj @ight tests made to determine the <feet oj jlap de$ection on the lateral control characteristics of a modi$ed Brewster F2A-2 airplane equipped with partial-spa-n narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge oj a full-span NACA slotted -flap. The inrestiga~ion included determination of the rolling and yawing characteristics oj the airplane in abrupt aileron rolls with the ...

This study investigates the effect of water deprivation on the expression of atrial natiruretic peptide (ANP)(1-28) binding sites in rat kidney. Water deprivation increased the B(max) of glomerular binding sites for ANP(1-28) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)(1-22) without modifying their affinity, an effect that was prevented in the presence of C-atrial natriuretic factor (C-ANF), suggestin...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) has an important role in regulating sympathetic neuron survival and target field innervation during development. Here we show that glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor–related protein (GITR), a member of the TNF superfamily, and its ligand (GITRL) are co-expressed in mouse sympathetic neurons when their axons are innervating their targets under the inf...

Since a safe and effective mass vaccination program against dengue fever is not presently available, a good way to prevent and control dengue outbreaks depends mainly on controlling the mosquito vectors. Aedes aegypti mosquito populations can be monitored and reduced by using ovitraps baited with organic infusions. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted which demonstrated that the ba...

It is known that inhaled steroids can be used for the treatment of interstitial lung diseases such as sarcoidosis to avoid systemic side effects of oral or intravenous forms. However there is no information about the role of inhaled steroids in the treatment of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Here in, a 38 year-old male patient with chronic HP treated by 16 months of high dose inhaled steroi...

Enterobactin, the tris-(N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)serine) trilactone siderophore of Escherichia coli, is synthesized by a three-protein (EntE, B, F) six-module nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). In this work, the 142-kDa four-domain protein EntF was bisected into two double-domain fragments: a 108-kDa condensation and adenylation construct, EntF C-A, and a 37-kDa peptidyl carrier protein (PC...

Various haemolymph components of the shrimp Penaeus japonicus were identified and characterised by monoclonal antibodies. Three groups of monoclonal antibodies were raised. Their reactivity to haemocyte types and/or secreted molecules was determined by immunofluorescence and the molecular masses of the antigens were analysed by western-blotting. A 170 kDa protein, in reducing conditions, was re...
