ABSTRACT Tb investigate he modifying effects of eugenol (EUG), a component of cigarette smoke, on lung carcinogenesis, male and female transgenic mice carrying the human prototype c-Ha-sus gene (rasH2 mice) were given a single intraperitoneal i jection of 250 mgfkg urethane (UR) or saline, fo11owed by a diet containing 6,OOO ppm EUG or basal diet fbr 26 weeks, Their non-transgenic CB6Fl litterm...

In C. elegans, RNA processing of downstream operon genes through SL2 trans-splicing is crucial for polycistronic transcripts to be separated into monocistronic transcripts. The Ur element RNA sequence, which is important for proper SL2 trans-splicing, is found in the intercistronic region (ICR) of the pre-mRNA. The ICR is located between the 3’ end of one gene and the trans-splice site of a dow...

CONTEXT From 4%-6% of males subjected to radical cystectomy due to urothelial carcinoma will have urethral recurrence (UR) during the follow-up. OBJECTIVE To analyze the diagnosis, treatment and course of the patients with UR following a cystectomy. ACQUIRING OF EVIDENCE Analysis of original articles and reviews related with the diagnosis, treatment and course of patients subjected to radic...

Wageningen Systems is a research program of Wageningen UR and based on the assumption that knowledge is not only based in the heads of employees and text books, but also in models and databases. The use of this digital knowledge is strongly influenced by the way this knowledge base is built up, distributed and equipped with tools for interactive exchange of this knowledge. It is the strategy an...

Some pretreatments that swell and/or open the structure of wood fibers could increase the effectiveness of a biobleaching process, allowing for an industrial application. To this end, a chemical pretreatment (urea, U), a physical pretreatment (refining, R), and their combinations (RU and UR) were optimized to evaluate and compare their enhancement of the LE biobleaching sequence (laccase-mediat...

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR's) of a super Lie group. We give an extension of the classical inducing construction and Mackey imprimitivity theorem to this setting. We use our results to classify the irreducible unitary ...

Safeguarding biodiversity has been one of the most important issues on the environmental and forest policies agenda since the 1990's. The problem remains in terms of decisions and knowledge on where to set appropriate conservation targets. Hence, we need detailed and reliable information about habitat structure and composition and methods for estimating this information over the whole spatial d...
