Jag, scientifically known as Dalbergja sissoo and Shisham_Persian name_, and local names Sassam, Jag, Jagh and Ciso, is a medium-sized tree that often grows in the highlands and along the mountain rivers. Habitats of this plant species have been reported in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and in southeastern Iran in the Makran Heights, Jabal_Barez ...

In our previous analysis of nucleon-nucleon (NN) elastic scattering data [1], the upper energy limit was extended from 2.5 to 3.0 GeV in the laboratory kinetic energy, Tp, in order to accomodate higher-energy proton-proton (pp) scattering measurements from SATURNE II at Saclay and the EDDA Collaboration at COSY. Comparisons were made with the direct amplitude reconstruction (DAR) and partial-wa...

INTRODUCTION Dopamine (DA) binds to five receptors (DAR), classified by their ability to increase (D1R-like) or decrease (D2R-like) cAMP. In humans, most DA circulates as dopamine sulfate (DA-S), which can be de-conjugated to bioactive DA by arylsulfatase A (ARSA). The objective was to examine expression of DAR and ARSA in human adipose tissue and determine whether DA regulates prolactin (PRL) ...

Previous work has demonstrated that in utero cocaine exposure induces an uncoupling of brain D(1A) dopamine receptors (D(1A)DARs) from G(s)-protein. The present work is an attempt to define the mechanism underlying the uncoupling. We detected a significant elevation of phosphoserine in frontal cortical D(1A)DARs of rabbits that were exposed prenatally to cocaine compared with saline controls. T...

ADC bioanalytical strategies With the US FDA approval of Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin) in 2011 and Kadcyla® (ado-transtuzumab emtansine) in 2013, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has been a hot topic in industry. Because of the complexity of an ADC, combining monoclonal antibody and small molecule toxin, its bioanalysis has seen unprecedented amount of discussion compared to other drug modalitie...

In this interview with Sabina Barone, Mehdi Alioua—Sociology Professor at the Université Internationale de Rabat (International University of Rabat), Morocco—reflects on transformations that Sub-Saharan African migration has brought to Moroccan society over last two decades, in particular reference identity and denominations foreign others, internal regional dynamics (im)mobility, challenges so...

Ein wichtiger Baustein des neu entdeckten World Wide Web – des ”Web 2.0“ – stellen Folksonomies dar. In diesen Systemen können Benutzer gemeinsam Ressourcen verwalten und mit Schlagwörtern versehen. Die dadurch entstehenden begrifflichen Strukturen stellen ein interessantes Forschungsfeld dar. Dieser Artikel untersucht Ansätze und Wege zur Entdeckung und Strukturierung von Nutzergruppen (”Commu...

Bürokratie stellt eine Belastung für Unternehmen dar. Auf Grund der kleinbetrieblichen Strukturen in der deutschen Landwirtschaft sind davon landwirtschaftliche Betriebe besonders stark betroffen. Der folgende Beitrag stellt Methoden dar, mit denen in der Vergangenheit die Belastung von landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben durch Bürokratie erhoben wurde. Die Belastungen werden einander gegenüber gest...
