Investigations were undertaken on the effect of liquid nitrogen (LN) storage time on survival and regeneration of somatic embryos of cocoa (Theobroma cacao l.). Somatic embryos from different cocoa genotypes (AMAZ 32, AMAZ 10-1, AMAZ 12, SIAL 93, and IMC 14) at 15.45% moisture content were cryopreserved in LN for one h, four and eight weeks. Somatic embryos of the genotypes emerged from the alg...

Background: In the last two decades, endoscopy established itself as an alternative to traditional1-3 (often indirect mirror based4-6) microscopic tympanoscopy and became strongly promoted for various endoscopic middle ear procedures7-12. This study evaluates the diagnostic potential of todays available endoscopic systems. Materials and Methods: Seven otologists rated the degree of visualizatio...

Physiol. 276 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 45): H333–H339, 1999.—Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors have been reported to increase as well as to decrease microvascular transport of macromolecules in a variety of mod...

AbstrAct: Linked Open Data (LOD) is becoming an essential part of the Semantic Web. Although LOD has amassed large quantities of structured data from diverse, openly available data sources, there is still a lack of user-friendly interfaces and mechanisms for exploring this huge resource. In this paper, we describe a methodology for harvesting relevant information from the gigantic LOD cloud. Th...

In 1977 the first comprehensive symposium about neural regulation of cerebral blood flow was held in Stockholm. The symposium, which was organized by Drs. Christer Owman and Lars Edvinsson, was stimulating and provocative. It was essentially a workshop: new data were presented and controver­ sial problems and contradictory results were dis­ cussed at length (see Owman and Edvinsson, 1977). Dr. ...

Heterogeneity in phenotypes of malignantly transformed cells and aberrant glycan expression on their surface are two prominent hallmarks cancers that have hitherto not been linked to each other. In this paper, we identify differential levels a specific linkage: ?2,6-linked sialic acids within breast cancer vivo culture. Upon sorting out populations with moderate, relatively higher, cell acid fr...
