In this study, the mechanical buckling response of refined hyperbolic shear deformable (FG) functionally graded nanobeams embedded in an elastic foundation is investigated based on the refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory. Material properties of the FG nanobeam change continuously in the thickness direction based on the power-law model. To capture small size effects, Eringen’s nonlocal e...

calcium dichloride tetra urea was prepared by the reaction of calcium chloride with urea in aqueous solution. the crystals are monoclinic, a= 7.633, b= 12.45 1, c= 8.118 ?,? = 113.17, z = 4, space group p 2,/a. the crystal structure was determined by single crystal x-ray methods and refined to r= 0.041. the calcium atoms are coordinated to four oxygen atoms of urea and to two chloride ions. the...

The tendency of HIV-1 Nef to form aggregates in solution, particularly at pH values below 8, together with its large fraction of highly mobile residues seriously complicated determination of its three-dimensional structure, both for heteronuclear solution NMR (Grzesiek et al., 1996a, Nat Struct Biol 3:340-345) and for X-ray crystallography (Lee et al., 1996, Cell 85:931-942). Methods used to de...

A high resolution structure in solution has been determined for the polypeptide neurotoxin I, from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus, using NMR data, distance geometry calculations, and refinement by back-calculation of two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) spectra. A set of 913 distance constraints derived from NOEs was used, together with a large set of lower distance bo...

Enrofloxacin (ENRO), a fluoroquinolone, was quantified in overflows from an animal lot and residential sewage lagoons and in a receiving-stream (Gans Creek). The concentrations of ENRO in samples was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry. In total, ninety samples including duplicates were analyzed during several monthly sampling campaigns. The samples c...

The glycogen in the liver cannot rise above 15 % and it is stated in textbooks that the capacity of muscle to store glycogen is limited. It would be considered unlikely that this total store could be more than doubled. Hence, if an individual consumed 400 g of carbohydrate in excess of his energy requirements, then it would be expected that there would be a net conversion of carbohydrate into f...
