The rheumatic disease autoantigen, Ro/SSA, was immunogenic to a rabbit host. The heteroimmune rabbit serum bound the Ro/SSA particle in immunoblots and in an ELISA. Both the rabbit anti-Ro/SSA and a human prototype anti-Ro/SSA serum also bound IgG; and moreover, IgG inhibited both rabbit and human anti-Ro/SSA activity. Anti-IgG activity of the rabbit and human anti-Ro/SSA sera bound Ro/SSA by W...

the energy requirement of vacuum membrane distillation (vmd) with or without recirculation was modelled using both experimental results and theoretical data. the trends are generally consistent between the theoretical and experimental data. thermal energy contributes the most to the total energy required for the vmd process. to lower the thermal energy cost, waste heat resource and heat recover...

Ro ribonucleoprotein particles (Ro RNPs) are complexes of several proteins with a small RNA polymerase III-transcribed Ro RNA. Despite their relative abundance and evolutionary conservation no function has as yet been ascribed to these complexes. Also their subcellular distribution is still largely unknown as immunofluorescence studies concerning their localization have produced conflicting dat...

Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...

Automotive roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) transportation is an efficient and competitive method for the large-scale transshipment of commercial cars. However, low-efficiency operations insufficient storage resources automotive Ro-Ro terminals have constrained development transportation. This paper investigates location assignment problem (SLAP) arrival cars at yard, it aims to improve ship-loading ef...

Let $(u_n)$ be a sequence of fuzzy numbers.  We recover the slow oscillation of $(u_n)$ of fuzzy numbers from the Ces`{a}ro summability of its generator sequence and some additional conditions imposed on $(u_n)$. Further, fuzzy analogues of some well known classical Tauberian theorems for Ces`{a}ro summability method are established as particular cases.

The Ro autoantigen is a ring-shaped RNA-binding protein that binds misfolded RNAs in nuclei and is proposed to function in quality control. In the cytoplasm, Ro binds noncoding RNAs, called Y RNAs, that inhibit access of Ro to other RNAs. Ro also assists survival of mammalian cells and at least one bacterium after UV irradiation. In mammals, Ro undergoes dramatic localization changes after UV i...
