We consider two-dimensional turbulence driven by a steady prescribed sinusoidal body force working at an average rate epsilon. Energy dissipation is due mainly to drag, which damps all wave number at a rate micro. Simulations at statistical equilibrium reveal a scaling regime in which epsilon proportional, variant micro;{1/3}, with no significant dependence of epsilon on hyperviscosity, domain ...

A weakly nonlinear oscillator of natural frequency omega(0) and damping ratio delta is driven by an amplitude-modulated force of dimensionless amplitude epsilon, carrier frequency omega, and modulation frequency omega(1). Each of (omega - omega(0))/omega(0), omega(1)/omega(0), and delta is O(epsilon(2/3)) as epsilon --> 0. The response in this resonant neighborhood is a slowly modulated sine wa...

[8-Lysine]oxytocin was synthesized on a solid support and possessed an oxytocic activity of 100 +/- 6 units mumol on the isolated rat uterus. The epsilon-carbamoyl, epsilon-3-carboxypropionyl and epsilon-3-carboxybutryl derivatives were prepared and had uterotonic activities of 400, 55 and 50 units/mumol respectively. [8-Lysine]oxytocin was coupled unambiguously through the epsilon-amino group ...

The bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase (MF1) is inactivated by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoylethenoadenosine (FSB epsilon A) with pseudo-first order kinetics. The dependence of the rate of inactivation on the concentration of FSB epsilon A revealed an apparent Kd of 0.25 mM. ATP and ADP, and to a lesser extent, ITP and IDP provide partial protection against inactivation by the reagent. Isolation ...

Tumor metastasis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with breast cancer. It is critical to identify metastasis enabling genes and understand how they are responsible for inducing specific aspects of the metastatic phenotype to allow for improved clinical detection and management. Protein kinase C epsilon (PKC epsilon), a member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinas...

In this manuscript, we consider the Langevin dynamics on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with an overdamped vector field and driven by multiplicative Brownian noise of small amplitude $\sqrt{\epsilon}$, $\epsilon>0$. Under suitable assumptions diffusion coefficient, it is well-known that possesses a unique invariant probability measure $\mu^{\epsilon}$. As $\epsilon$ tends to zero, prove $\epsilon^{d/2} \mu^{\e...

We investigated the involvement of PKC-epsilon in apical actin remodeling in carbachol-stimulated exocytosis in reconstituted rabbit lacrimal acinar cells. Lacrimal acinar PKC-epsilon cosedimented with actin filaments in an actin filament binding assay. Stimulation of acini with carbachol (100 microM, 2-15 min) significantly (P < or = 0.05) increased PKC-epsilon recovery with actin filaments in...

The experimental results of isothermal pressure dielectric permittivity epsilon studies in a critical mixture characterized by a negative shift of critical temperature induced by pressure (dT(C)/dP<0) are presented. The critical effect is portrayed by the same relation as in previous epsilon(T) and epsilon(P) studies, with the critical exponent alpha=0.12+/-0.03. The advantage of pressure studi...

The width W of the active region around an active moving wall in a directed percolation process diverges at the percolation threshold p(c) as W approximately Aepsilon(-nu( parallel)) ln(epsilon(0)/epsilon), with epsilon=p(c)-p, epsilon(0) a constant, and nu( parallel)=1.734 the critical exponent of the characteristic time needed to reach the stationary state xi( parallel) approximately epsilon(...

We have studied low-temperature properties of interacting electrons in a one-dimensional quantum wire (Luttinger liquid) side-hybridized with a single-level impurity. The hybridization induces a backscattering of electrons in the wire which strongly affects its low-energy properties. Using a one-loop renormalization group approach valid for a weak electron-electron interaction, we have calculat...
