The asparagine-linked glycosylation sites in rabbit high and low Mr secretory components (SC) have been determined for the three known allotypes, t61, t62, and t63. Purified SC polypeptides were subjected to mild periodate oxidation of terminal nonreducing sugars followed by selective reduction with [3H]sodium borohydride, SC polypeptides were further proteolytically cleaved, and the 3H-labeled...

We study the equilibrium domain structure and magnetic flux around a ferromagnetic (FM) film with perpendicular magnetization M 0 on a super-conducting (SC) substrate. At 4πM 0 < H c1 the SC is in the Meissner state and the equilibrium domain width in the film, l, scales as (l/4πλ L) = (l N /4πλ L) 2/3 with the domain width on a normal (non-superconducting) substrate, l N /4πλ L ≫ 1. Here λ L i...

and Commentary also published in ACP Journal Club. 1997;126:38. shorter, simpler outpatient or home-based programs will be most practical for those seeking respiratory rehabilitation. Rehabilitation programs require enthusiasm and resources. Many elements, including nutrition and use of therapy, can be addressed during rehabilitation sessions. We need to sort out the most important parts of the...

Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) contributes importantly to the limitation of constant-load exercise (CLE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its role in the limitation of interval exercise (IE) remains to be explored. The change (Delta) in inspiratory capacity (IC) was measured to reflect changes in DH in 27 COPD patients (forced expiratory volume in one second ...

The color of Concord grape juice produced by concentration before cold-stabilization and detartration (direct-to-concentrate, DTC) was compared to juice produced via cold-stabilization prior to concentration (standard concentrate, SC) and evaluated by several metrics. Using the Boulton copigmentation assay, the majority of the absorbance at 520 nm in bottled SC juice (72%) was due to monomeric ...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare treatment outcomes for chronic bothersome tinnitus after Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) versus standard of care treatment (SC) and to determine the longevity of the effect over an 18-month period. STUDY DESIGN A randomized controlled trial comparing TRT to SC for chronic tinnitus. METHODS Adults with subjective, stable, bothersome chronic ...

Two studies were conducted to analyse the repeatability of a serving capacity (SC) pen test and to evaluate the correlation of the results of such a test with field performance. The Laborde SC test, which measures SC by exposing an individual ram for 40min to two restrained non-oestrous ewes in a pen was used. In the first study, SC was measured on four and six occasions during the autumn of 19...

Scrapie is transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), which causes neurological signs in sheep, but confirmatory diagnosis is usually made postmortem on examination of the brain for TSE-associated markers like vacuolar changes and disease-associated prion protein (PrP(Sc)). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether testing of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) at two dif...

Six medicinal plants Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don, Angelica archangelica L., Lavandula officinalis L., Salvia officinalis L., Melilotus officinalis L., and Ruta graveolens L. were used. The aim of the study was to compare their extracts obtained by Soxhlet (hexane) extraction, maceration with ethanol (EtOH), and supercritical CO2 extraction (SC-CO2) targeted on coumarin content (by high p...

In this experiment we prepare soap from animal fat (lard) or vegetable oil. Animal fats and vegetable oils are esters of carboxylic acids; they have a high molecular weight and contain the alcohol, glycerol. Chemically, these fats and oils are called triglycerides (See chapter 18 of your text). The principal acids in animal fats and vegetable oils can be prepared from the natural triglycerides ...
