We discuss two fundamental reversible diffusion influenced reactions: ~i! A1B C and ~ii! A 1B C1D. In the pseudo-unimolecular case, we prove that reaction ~i! is a special case of ~ii!, which thus constitutes a unified reversible problem of multiparticle kinetics. For static A and C ~the ‘‘target’’ limit!, we suggest to treat this problem as follows. First we generalize the Smoluchowski theory ...

The use of a recently developed cation-exchange HPLC packing material for the separation of hemoglobin types in human blood has been investigated. Adult and newborn hemolysates from normal individuals and from subjects with hemoglobin disorders were analyzed using a weak cation carboxymethyl-bonded phase on 5-micron-particle-size silica. Elution was accomplished using a Bistris (2-[bis(2-hydrox...

The fast and slow components of global warming in a comprehensive climate model are isolated by examining the response to an instantaneous return to pre-industrial forcing. The response is characterized by an initial fast exponential decay with an e-folding time smaller than 5 years, leaving behind a remnant that evolves more slowly. The slow component is estimated to be small at present, as me...

a New Class of Unbalanced CAST Ciphers X. Zhu and H. M. Heys Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, A1B 3X5 Email: [email protected] Abstract The original CAST cipher is an e cient and secure private-key block cipher designed to be an alternative to DES. In this paper, we present a new class of unbalanced CAST ciphers wh...

The coagulation of β-conglycinin (7S), glycinin (11S) and isoflavones induced by calcium chloride was investigated. Approximately 92.6% of the soymilk proteins were coagulated into the soymilk pellet fraction (SPF) after the addition of 5 mM calcium chloride. SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis analysis indicated that most of the 7S (α', α and β), 11S acidic (A1a, A1b, A2, A3 and A4) a...

a1-adrenergic receptor (AR) activation is thought to be initiated by disruption of a constraining interhelical salt bridge (Porter et al., 1996). Disruption of this salt bridge is achieved through a competition for the aspartic acid residue in transmembrane domain three by the protonated amine of the endogenous ligand norepinephrine and a lysine residue in transmembrane domain seven. To further...
