Information security refers to protect the information from unauthorized access or modification. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a way to generate a key preventing those malicious activities. One of…
Sulodexide represents a mixture of fast-moving heparin (FMH) and dermatan sulfate (DS) and has been used for the management of venous diseases such as DVT and related disorders. The purpose of this st…
We tested the hypothesis that an elevation in albumin synthetic rate contributes to increased plasma albumin content during exercise-induced hypervolemia. Albumin synthetic rate was measured in seven …
Fullerene adlayers prepared by the simple Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method onto various well-defined single-crystal metal surfaces were investigated by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The su…
A radioimmunoassay is described for the measurement of 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone in human plasma. We have employed the principle of "immunologic purification." 17-OHP and related steroids are bound …
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the association between abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia differs according to the presence of a parental history of diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted …
Electrical field stimulation induces taurine release in rat vas deferens. In the present study, it was investigated if this release is secondary to contraction. The influence of Ca2+ and of the stimul…
The microsolvation of aminoethanol (AE) with one, two, three or four water molecules was investigated using a density functional theory (DFT) approach. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) ana…
Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in Earth's radiative balance directly, by scattering and absorbing radiation, and indirectly, by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Atmospheric aero…
A rapid and sensitive method is described for the stimultaneous determination of nicotine and its principal metabolite, cotinine, in plasma. A one-step extraction procedure is employed and the quantit…
Superoxide reductase (SOR) is a non-heme iron metalloenzyme that detoxifies superoxide radical in microorganisms. Its active site consists of an unusual non-heme Fe(2+) center in a [His4Cys1] square p…
The transport of alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) across the luminal membrane of the rat nephron was studied by micropuncture and microassay techniques. In normal and acidotic rats, approximately 75% of…
OBJECTIVES: The body adiposity index (BAI) is a proposed alternative to the body mass index (BMI) that has shown good cross-sectional agreement with percent body fat (%BF) in validation studies. The o…
Most of the precursors and/or degradation products related to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are polar. Identification of these molecules in environmental samples provides clues regarding the a…
Erosion and sedimentation in water courses represent a major and costly problem everywhere on the planet. Perception of local actors of the state of the river can be a useful source of information to …
Previous studies have indicated that the devil stinger produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) during early development from fertilized egg to larva. To determine whether ROS generation is a common fea…
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) after neurosurgery are potentially life-threatening and entail great costs. SSIs may occur from airborne bacteria in the operating room, and ultraclean air …
A novel magnetic solid phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography method was established to analyze polyaromatic hydrocarbons in environmental water samples. The extraction c…
In a retrospective analysis of bone densitometry scans performed in an audit of 576 children with chronic disease, lean-mass-adjusted bone mineral content (BMC) for the total body and the lumbar spine…
Simultaneous HPLC determination of the analgetic agent tramadol, its major pharmacodynamically active metabolite (O-desmethyltramadol) in human plasma is described. Simple methods for the preparation …
