Normal spleen cells were separated in dishes coated with thin layers of DNP-gelatin or NIP-gelatin into binding and nonbinding cells and stimulated in vitro with DNP- and/or NIP-conjugated polymerized flagellin (POL). Hapten-specific unresponsiveness was induced in the binding cell population by melting the gel at 37 degrees C or in unfractionated cells by pretreatment with soluble hapten-gelat...

A first order theory is NIP if all definable families of subsets have finite VCdimension. We provide a justification for the intuition that NIP structures should be a combination of stable and order-like components. More precisely, we prove that any type in an NIP theory can be decomposed into a stable part (a generically stable partial type) and an order-like quotient.

PURPOSE N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) is a ubiquitously distributed eukaryotic enzyme that catalyzes myristoylation of proteins. Very little is known about the process of myristoylation, particularly in the eye. In the present study, the distribution, expression, and correlation of NMT and its inhibitor (NMT inhibitor protein, NIP) in the bovine eye were investigated. METHODS Whole bovine eyes...

BACKGROUND Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS) is an established instrument for neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism (NIP), but its statistical properties have been studied insufficiently. Some shortcomings concerning its content have been suggested as well. According to a recent report, the widely used SAS mean score cut-off value 0.3 of for NIP detection may be too low. Our aim was to evaluate SAS against ...

We studied the mechanisms of hypolipidemic effects of NIP-200 (3,5-dimethyl-4,6-diphenyltetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine- 2-thione), a potent hypolipidemic compound, in cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver, cholesterol absorption in small intestine, and cholesterol catabolism and excretion in rats. NIP-200 did not reduce cholesterol biosynthesis and had no effects on cholesterol absorption in t...

Implicitly parallel programming languages place the burden of exploiting and managing parallelism upon the compiler and runtime system, rather than on the programmer. This paper describes the design of NIP, a runtime system for supporting implicit parallelism in languages which combine both functional and objectoriented programming. NIP is designed for scaleable distributed memory systems inclu...

Legume root architecture involves not only elaboration of the root system by the formation of lateral roots but also the formation of symbiotic root nodules in association with nitrogen-fixing soil rhizobia. The Medicago truncatula LATD/NIP gene plays an essential role in the development of both primary and lateral roots as well as nodule development. We have cloned the LATD/NIP gene and show t...

We show that ω-categorical rings with NIP are nilpotent-by-finite. We prove that an ω-categorical group with NIP and fsg is nilpotent-by-finite. We also notice that an ω-categorical group with at least one strongly regular type is abelian. Moreover, we get that each ω-categorical, characteristically simple p-group with NIP has an infinite, definable abelian subgroup. Assuming additionally the e...

In this paper, a Model Predictive Control problem for constrained nonlinear systems with quantized input is formulated and represented as a multiparametric Nonlinear Integer Programming (mp-NIP) problem. Then, a computational method for explicit approximate solution of the resulting mp-NIP problem is suggested. The proposed approximate mp-NIP approach is applied to the design of an explicit app...

Surface imprinting used for template recognition in nanocavities can be controlled and improved by surface morphological changes. Generally, the lithographic technique is patterning concerning sensing signal amplification molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) thin films. In this paper, we describe effects of silanized silica molds on properties MIP Porous poly(MAA–co–EGDMA) films were lithographi...
