Sialic acid has been shown to contribute significantly to the cell-surface charge of tumor cells. In order to elucidate the chemical nature of the sialic acid-containing molecules present on the tumor cell surface, a procedure for the isolation of a Sialoglycopeptide fraction from the surface of Novikoff ascites cells has been developed. Digestion of tumor cell suspensions with papain liberates...

A significant amount of ammonium (NH4+) is absorbed by the colon. The nature of NH4+ effects on transport and NH4+ transport itself in colonic epithelium is poorly understood. The goal of this study was to elucidate the effects of NH4+ on cAMP-stimulated Cl- secretion in the colonic cell line T84. In HEPES-buffered solutions, application of basolateral NH4+ resulted in a reduced level of Cl- se...

in this paper, we are going to improve the energy efficiency of an industrial c 3 mr base load lng plant by changing its refrigerant components and its mole fractions in liquefaction and subcooling cycles based on the cooling curves generated in the main liquefaction and subcooling heat exchangers. later on, selection features of the elements will be discussed. first, non-optimized c 3 mr plant...

abstract: â in this study, the change in the crystalline structure of gas hydrate was predicted for ternary mixture of methane-ethane-water. for this purpose, the tangent plane distance (tpd) minimization method was used. first, the calculations were performed for the binary mixtures of methane-water and ethane-water as the gas and liquid phases. the results show that for a binary mixture of th...

Measurements of the transport properties of cellulose membranes for the mixtures methanolwater and formamide-water are reported. The measured approach of the mole fractions of the nonelectrolyte to its equilibrium value are interpreted in the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics in a novel way. The permeabilities of the membranes of the different substances are discussed in terms of ...

A well-defined plasma assisted combustion system with novel in situ discharge in a counterflow diffusion flame was developed to study the direct coupling kinetic effect of non-equilibrium plasma on flame ignition and extinction. A uniform discharge was generated between the burner nozzles by placing porous metal electrodes at the nozzle exits. The ignition and extinction characteristics of CH4/...

The gas-phase oxidation of n-butane has been studied in an atmospheric jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at temperatures up to 950 K. For the first time, continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (cw-CRDS) in the near-infrared has been used, together with gas chromatography (GC), to analyze the products formed during its oxidation. In addition to the quantification of formaldehyde and water, which ...
