Langerhans cells (LC) in normal human corneas (with the exception of newborns) lack thymocyte antigen T6, a highly specific marker for noncorneal LC. Because corneal LC could not be induced to express T6 antigen when cultured with various cytokines including interleukin-1 (shown to modulate T6 expression on gingival LC), some authors assume that corneal LC may represent a distinct LC subpopulat...

The quantity and serotypes of enteroviruses (EVs) in the influent of a local sewage treatment plant were compared to local clinical EV cases to determine if testing of sewage is adequate for an EV surveillance system. The study was carried out from August 1994 to December 2002. Monthly influent specimens were processed by organic flocculation, and dilutions of concentrate were inoculated onto a...

By recombination between bacteriophage T4 wh2, a dihydrofolate reductaseless mutant, and T6, I have prepared T4 wh(T6), a T4 strain which codes for the T6-specific soluble dihydrofolate reductase. This strain has the heat sensitivity of T6, not T4, which provides direct evidence that the wh gene codes for both the soluble dihydrofolate reductase and the structural dihydrofolate reductase which ...

an annual rate of 7 percent since 1986 with 371 million broilers produced in 1994. Broiler litter (mixture of poultry excreta, bedding material, wasted feed and feathers) is usually removed from the poultry houses on an annual basis. Because of its high nutrient content, poultry litter is usually applied to agricultural land as fertilizer with an economic value of $20 to $30/ton. Broiler litter...

This study investigated operational factors influencing the removal of steroid estrogens and nonylphenolic compounds in two sewage treatment works, one a nitrifying/denitrifying activated sludge plant and the other a nitrifying/denitrifying activated sludge plant with phosphorus removal. Removal efficiencies of >90% for steroid estrogens and for longer chain nonylphenol ethoxylates (NP4-12EO) w...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of differently processed Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) with enzyme, Maxigrain® supplementation on the performance and carcass characteristic of weaner rabbits. The pigeon peas used were raw, boiled and soaked with and without Maxigrain® supplementation, respectively. A total of 42 weaner rabbits (6 weeks old) of mixed breed and sexes with average i...

Mucin O-glycosylation is characterized in cancer by aberrant expression of immature carbohydrate structures (Tn, T, and sialyl-Tn antigens). The UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAc-T) family enzymes regulate the initial steps of mucin O-glycosylation and could be responsible for the altered glycosylation observed in cancer. Considering that we ...

This study presents an acoustic analysis of F0 contours of T2, T4 and T6 words by 40 Wu speakers of the Wuxi dialect (stratified for area, sex and age). The results show that T4 is merging with T2 and T6, and that T4 words which have the same corresponding tone of Putonghua with T6 are leading the change. Among young people, the previously merged T2 and T6 show a tendency to split. These ongoin...

Here, we use an input distance function approach to determine the shadow price of carbon dioxide (CO2), technical efficiency and potential for emission reductions industrial sectors China Korea, impact trading on costs. Data from 20 industries in manufacturing South Korea were analyzed during 2015–2019. The CO2 cost-saving effects emissions compared between two countries. average score was 0.71...
