To determine whether receipt of an investigational anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (BC3) increased the risk of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) reactivation and development of encephalitis in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients, persons who had and had not received BC3 were compared. Odds of HHV-6 reactivation were higher among BC3 recipients than among control patients (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confid...

We investigate the band-gap modiication by collapsing deformation in C, BN, and BC3 nanotubes through rst-principles pseudopotential calculations. Semiconductor-metal transitions occur when zigzag C and armchair BC3 nanotubes undergo collapsing deformation, while in zigzag BN tubes, a variation of band gaps from 5 to 2 eV is found. On the other hand, the band gaps of armchair BN and zigzag BC3 ...

Through density functional theory, the sensitivity of Pt-doped and pristine BC3 nanosheets to ibuprofen (IBP) was scrutinized. The IBP drug does not impact electronic properties evaluated for BC3. However, its reactivity are increased a great extent after doping it by Pt. Unlike BC3, adsorption decreases HOMO–LUMO gap associated with sheet from 1.29 1.04 eV, which improves electrical conductivi...

The aim of this study was to determine the genotypic differences in salt tolerance third back-crossed peeper progenies and their respective parents through examining changes shoot growth at agronomical, root morphological leaf development physiological levels under stress. A hydroponic experiment conducted by using an aerated Deep-Water Culture (DWC) technique a controlled chamber Erciyes Unive...

Most interval-based solvers in the constraint logic programming framework are based on either hull consistency or box consistency (or a variation of these ones) to narrow domains of variables involved in continuous constraint systems. This paper first presents HC4, an algorithm to enforce hull consistency without decomposing complex constraints into primitives. Next, an extended definition for ...

Chemical regulation of secondary-metabolite synthesis was investigated through the improvement of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production in transgenic tobacco plants by the use of enzyme inhibitors. Two tobacco lines, BC3 and rCAB8, that produce PHB in both the cytosol and plastids were used. An acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor, D-(+)-Quizalofop-ethyl, increased PHB accumulation in both lines ...
