The goal of this research project is to analyze the effect of culture temperature on the production and quality of IFN-γ produced and secreted by suspension culture CHO cells.The effect of low temperature on IFN-γ glycosylation, which is under the control of a battery of enzymes whose activities will be influenced by temperature, is unknown. Work is focused on implementing a system for accurate...

BACKGROUND Given the importance of physical activity to well-being, there is a need to encourage people to be physically active year-round. At the same time, many people are vulnerable to adverse health effects from air pollution, especially on smog alert days. This study was undertaken to determine when air pollution levels tend to be lowest so that the public can modify strenuous outdoor acti...

777 Thinking Coherently About the Second Law The efficiency of heat engines has been limited by the Carnot cycle, which states that the efficiency cannot exceed 1 – Tc/Th, where Tc and Th are the absolute temperatures of the cold and hot reservoirs feeding the engine. Scully et al. (p. 862; see the Perspective by Linke) show how this limiting efficiency can be beaten with a coherent heat source...

rhis paper reviews geological, geochemical and ;eophysical data on the deeper parts of the high.emperature, water-dominated geothermal system of C’erro Prieto in Baja California, Mexico. It also ;peculates about the lithology, temperature, pressure and fluid chemistry that might be encountered in a jeep (about 6 km) exploration well being considered For the eastern part of this field. Based on ...

Heat capacities have been measured as a function of temperature for aluminum cluster cations with 16–48 atoms. Some clusters show peaks in their heat capacities that are attributed to melting transitions. The smallest cluster to show a well-defined melting transition is Al28 . For clusters with significant peaks in their heat capacities, the results can be fitted by a two-state model incorporat...

We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in an unstructured outdoor environment. The goal is for a small outdoor robot to come into a new area, learn about and map its environment, and move to a given goal at modest speeds (1 m/s). This problem is especially difficult in outdoor, off-road environments, where tall grass, shadows, deadfall, and other obstacles predominate. Not surprisingl...

Research on the influence of relationships among satiety, muscle mass, and outdoor environmental factors is sparse. In this work the relationships among satiety feeling, body composition, and outdoor environmental factors on eating in healthy young Japanese women are investigated. Fifty three (53) women were examined over an approximately 2-year period. All participants ate the same lunch; feel...
