The H-2Dd transgenic strain D8 on C57BL background was more resistant to subcutaneous challenge of RBL-5 lymphoma cells than B6 controls. The direct role of the H-2Dd antigen was investigated by the use of (D8 x B6)F1 crosses and (D8 B6) x B6 backcrosses. The latter showed cosegregation with regard to Dd antigen expression and lymphoma resistance, both of which were inherited in a pattern consi...

Many bargaining situations share the following characteristics: a central party makes an offer to a group of individuals; the proposals are restricted to treat all group members equally; and decisions of the group are reached through a voting process, with the vote binding all the members of the group. Examples include debt restructuring negotiations between a troubled company and its bondholde...

Tirbanibulin 1% ointment was approved for actinic keratosis (AK) of face or scalp based on two Phase 3 trials. Pooled rates complete (100%) clearance (CC) and partial (≥75%) (PC) in these trials were reported Day (D) 57 treatment, being 49% 72% respectively. We present post-hoc efficacy safety analyses evaluating earlier time points. Participants (N=702) the had 4-8 clinically visible AK lesion...

Techniques for detecting and quantifying anaerobic transformations of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are needed to assess the feasibility of using in situ bioremediation to treat BTEX-contaminated groundwater aquifers. Deuterated surrogates of toluene (toluene-d8) and xylene (o-xylene-d10) were injected into BTEX-contaminated aquifers during single-well push-pull tests to mon...

We analyze voluntary private contributions to public goods and the role seed money plays in signaling the public good’s quality to potential subsequent contributors. We present a theoretical model and analyze two sets of naturally occurring data from crowd-funding platforms. After developing the theoretical background we find statistically significant switch points which distinguish between see...

background: early childhood caries (ecc) is a common health problem in the developing countries. basic knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of ecc plays an important role in its prevention. objective: to determine the relationship between salivary tlr-2 concentration and early childhood caries formation methods: twenty-eight children with ages ranging from 36 to 71 months (15 in ecc gr...

The classification of curves of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field was studied by Clebsch and Bolza using invariants of binary sextic forms, and completed by Igusa with the computation of the corresponding threedimensional moduli variety M2. The locus of curves with group of automorphisms isomorphic to one of the dihedral groupsD8 orD12 is a one-dimensional subvariety. In this paper we ...

We consider a holographic model constructed through using the D4/D8-D8 brane configuration with a NS-NS background field. We study some properties of the effective field theory in this intersecting brane construction, and calculate the effects of this NS-NS background field on some underlying dynamics. We also discuss some other general brane configurations.

A disabled submarine (DISSUB) lacking power and/or environmental control will become cold, and the ambient air may become hypercapnic and hypoxic. This study examined if the combination of hypoxia, hypercapnia, and cold exposure would adversely affect thermoregulatory responses to acute cold exposure in survivors awaiting rescue. Seven male submariners (33 +/- 6 yrs) completed a series of cold-...
