The photophysical, photochemical, two-photon absorption (2PA) and metal ion sensing properties of a new fluorene derivative (E)-1-(7-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)styryl)-9,9-bis(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9…
Maur?cio Rocha e Silva is well known as the discoverer of bradykinin, the powerful hypotensive and smooth muscle stimulating polypeptide which was first detected in plasma following the addition of Bo…
We present a simulation study of pattern formation in an ensemble of chemotactic run-and-tumble bacteria, focussing on the effect of spatial confinement, either within traps or inside a maze. These ge…
Pathogenic fungi, according to their propensity to cause infection of apparently normal individuals, can be grouped into either primary pathogens (e.g., Coccidioides, Histoplasma, Paracoccidioides, Bl…
The purpose of this study was to document the temporal changes in vascular reactivity occurring simultaneously in central, peripheral and microvascular resistance arteries in the same cohort of women …
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) injected into the third ventricle (3rd V) of conscious ovariectomized rats bearing a permanent jugular cannula increased the percentage of plasma samples showing detectable imm…
Free radical generation by peritoneal leukocytes from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice was monitored for 18 days following infection with Eimeria vermiformis. Free radical generation occurred earlier and was q…
Ovalbumin was modified with alpha,beta-poly[(2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide] which had been developed as a nontoxic plasma expander. Preadministration of the modified ovalbumin suppressed both primary…
We applied 2-photon laser ablation to write subdiffraction nanoscale chemical patterns into ultrathin polymer films under ambient conditions. Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate brush layers were prepa…
Spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) provides a new experimental tool for structural investigation. Due to the action of spin-echo encoding, SESANS measures a spatial correlation function…
The aim of this research was to determine the adsorption behaviour of bulgur. Three different particle sizes (2<coarse<3.5, 1.6<medium<3.0, 0.5<fine<2.0 mm) of bulgur, purchased from market, were kept…
Blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, has become a devastating disease on wheat in several countries worldwide. Growers need alternative methods for blast management, and silicon (Si) stands out for it…
Synthetic alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc) contains equal amounts of eight different stereoisomers arising from three chiral centers in the phytyl tail. Of these, the four stereoisomers with the 2R config…
Plasma vitamin A and E, the antioxidant nutrients copper and zinc, and magnesium were investigated in preterm babies. They were fed on their own mother's breast milk, or a formula with, or without, AA…
Electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus in anesthetized lean and obese Zucker rats produced equivalent activation of the sympatho-adrenal system (assessed by plasma norepinephrine [NE] and epinephr…
Effect of wheat bran on the vitamin status of rats adequately provided with vitamins or insufficiently supplied with vitamins has been investigated. 32 male Wistar weaning rats (initial body mass--49-…
The aim of the study was to determine the most beneficial proportion of raw linseed in complete feed mixtures for turkey hens on the basis of lipid and redox indicators in the blood. In experiment 1, …
This work focuses on the release of nanoparticles from commercially used nanocomposites during machining operations. A reliable and repeatable method was developed to assess the intentionally exposure…
In this work, a hybrid method for the rapid speciation of mercury compounds by cation exchange chromatographic separation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection is reporte…
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is a popular biodegradable polymer, but the accumulated acid production by degradation is a bottleneck for its extended utilization. In this study, chitosan microspheres (CS…
