Tenax-TA, a solid-phase sorbent, was used as an alternative to hexadecane for continuous delivery of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to Desulfuromonas strain BB1, a chloro-respiring microorganism. In both batch and bioreactor configurations, Tenax not only maintained low, steady-state concentrations of PCE in an active culture for several months but also adsorbed the product of dechlorination, cis-1,2-...

Does the type of knowledge, and levels of ability and experience needed, depend on rank in managerial accounting? Are the knowledge, ability, and experience needed for managerial accounting success, consistent with the Libby & Luft (L&L) model (1993) of the determinants of judgment performance in accounting? We explore these questions using structural equation models of the performance evaluati...

The present study was undertaken to clone, express rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) and to identify potential T-cell epitopes on it. RVG gene (1590 bp) was amplified using gene specific primers. The amplified product was cloned into pTZ57R/T cloning vector by TA cloning. RVG gene was subcloned into pcDNA3.1 (+) expression vector. In this study, cloning and expression of rabies virus glycoprotein...

in vivo microdialysis was used to study the effects of morphine on glutamate release from the ventral tegmentum area (vta) in freely moving rats. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of acute and repeated morphine at increasing doses significantly enhanced glutamate release. only a minor tolerance developed to this dosage of morphine. ap-s (2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, 0.5 mg/kg i.p.), a nmda r...

L1 (LINE-1) elements constitute a large family of mammalian retrotransposons that have been replicating and evolving in mammals for more than 100 Myr and now compose 20% or more of the DNA of some mammals. Here, we investigated the evolutionary dynamics of the active human Ta L1 family and found that it arose approximately 4 MYA and subsequently differentiated into two major subfamilies, Ta-0 a...

OBJECTIVE In the present study, a modified limb lead (MLL) system was used to record the Ta wave in sinus rhythm and with AV block in male patients. METHODS Eighty male subjects (mean age 36 ± 7 years) in sinus rhythm and 20 male patients with AV block (mean age 72 ± 5 years) were included in this study. Standard limb lead (SLL) ECGs and MLL ECGs were recorded for 60 seconds each with an EDAN...

We describe a streamlined reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methodology for constructing full-length cDNA libraries of trypanosomatids on the basis of conserved sequences located at the 5' and 3'ends of trans-spliced mRNAs. The amplified cDNA corresponded to full-length messengers and was amenable to in vitro expression. Fractionated libraries could be rapidly constructed in a pla...

introduction: biofilm forming staphylococcus epidermidis is a main causative agent of infections related to medical devices. purification and evaluation of gly-ta polysaccharide from a biofilm-forming s. epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate were the main goals of the current study. methods: taking advantage of size exclusion chromatography procedure, glycerol teichoic acid (gly-ta) was p...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the early effects of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on inflammation, proliferation, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS Retrospective review of an interventional case series of 29 patients who underwent macular translocation. Fourteen CNV membranes without previous therapy (control CNV group) and 4 CNV membrane...
