A neurotoxin, designated toxin LY, has been isolated from the venom of the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje haje) by gradient chromatography on Amberlite CG-50, and has been further purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. Homogeneity was verified by free boundary electrophoresis, acrylamide gel electrophoresis, sedimentation velocity, amino acid analysis, and end group analysis. Toxin LY has a se...

since the true understanding of each dialect depends on an understanding of language changes, this paper discusses the historical course of language in egypt and the linguistic features of the egyptian dialect based on historical linguistics. what this paper takes into consideration is the presence of arabic in egypt before the advent of islam and discusses the extent of its impression from the...

sociology of literature, on the one hand, is related to sociology and ,on the other hand, to literature.this approach mainly focuses on the structure and the content of the literary work and its relation to the society. it also scrutinizes the interaction between literature and the society as well as how the writer reflects social issues from intellectual, religious and social perspectives inth...

This document describes COBRA-ONT an ontology for supporting pervasive context-aware systems. COBRA-ONT, expressed in the Web Ontology Language OWL, is a collection of ontologies for describing places, agents, events and their associated properties in an intelligent meeting room domain. This ontology is developed as a part of the Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA), a broker-centric agent archi...

The low potency of cobra antivenom has been an area of concern in immunotherapy for cobra envenomation. This study sought to investigate factors limiting the neutralizing potency of cobra antivenom, using a murine model. We examined the immunological reactivity and neutralizing potency of a Thai polyvalent antivenom against the principal toxins of Naja sumatrana (Equatorial spitting cobra) veno...

2 The 'full title of COBRA' COBRA network developed a joint survey instrument to study the autonomy and control of semi-autonomous agencies and is coordinated by the Public Management Institute – University of Leuven. COBRA members of the following countries were involved in the collection of survey data which was used for this article: Belgium (Flanders) Gothenburg).. We owe many thanks to the...

Cobra snakebites are one of the most frequent occurrences among the poisonous snakebites. The correlation between the serum concentrations of cobra venom in the victims with the severity of systemic and local symptoms after envenoming is still awaited for investigation. In this paper, we have developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect Taiwan cobra venom existed in the seru...

The constraint-based reconstruction and analysis (COBRA) framework has been widely used to study steady-state flux solutions in genome-scale metabolic networks. One shortcoming of current COBRA methods is the possible violation of the loop law in the computed steady-state flux solutions. The loop law is analogous to Kirchhoff's second law for electric circuits, and states that at steady state t...

We performed a screen for genetic suppressors of cobra, an Arabidopsis mutant with defects in cellulose formation and an increased ratio of unesterified/esterified pectin. We identified a suppressor named mongoose1 (mon1) that suppressed the growth defects of cobra, partially restored cellulose levels, and restored the esterification ratio of pectin to wild-type levels. mon1 was mapped to the M...
