INTRODUCTION Radiopharmaceuticals that can bind selectively the kappa-opioid receptor may present opportunities for staging clinical brain disorders and evaluating the efficiency of new therapies related to stroke, neurodegenerative diseases or opiate addiction. The N-methylated derivative of JDTic (named MeJDTic), which has been recently described as a potent and selective antagonist of kappa-...

Equimolar mixtures of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and sodium octyl sulfonate (SOSo) show a vesicle phase at >99 wt % water and a single, fluid lamellar phase for water fractions below 80 wt %. This combination is consistent with the bilayer bending elasticity kappa approximately k(B)T and zero bilayer spontaneous curvature. Caillé line shape analysis of the small-angle X-ray scatte...

Non-Maxwellian $\kappa$ electron energy distributions (EEDs) have been proposed in recent years to resolve the so-called ``electron temperature and abundance discrepancy problem'' study of planetary nebulae (PNe). Thus need develop diagnostic tools determine from observations EED PNe is raised. Arising high levels, ultraviolet (UV) emission lines present intensities that depend sensitively on h...

A newly discovered genetic marker in the kappa light chains of mouse immunoglobulins is described. This marker, designated kappa-PC8, is located in the L chains of those anti-phosphorylcholine (PC) antibodies which show the same functional and idiotypic characteristics as a PC-binding myeloma protein, HOPC 8 (H8). Analytical isoelectric focusing of these L chains revealed two phenotypes whose ...

Abstract The charged particles in the solar wind are often observed to possess a nonthermal tail velocity distribution function, feature that can be fitted with Kappa model. anisotropic, or bi-Kappa, model of protons, electrons, and other is thus adopted literature for interpreting data as well context analysis wave–particle interactions. present paper develops an approximate but efficient theo...
