Polar auxin transport plays a key role in the regulation of plant growth and development. To identify genes involved this process, we have developed genetic procedure to screen for mutants Arabidopsis that are altered their response inhibitors. We recovered total 16 independent defined seven genes, called TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE (TIR) genes. Recessive mutations one these TIR3, result responses inhibitors, reduction polar transport, variety morphological defects can be ascribed changes...
Abstract Electrostatic effects are believed to determine the molecular structure and function of macromolecules in many ways. In metallo‐based enzymes metal–macromolecule interactions solution, these may predominate. order tackle metal ion–nucleic acid theoretically, we propose a modification Debye's distance‐dependent dielectric first proposed more than 50 years ago. This closely approximates physical reality at small interatomic separations. Our theory yields that gives reasonable...
BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.) is an automated microbial detection system based on the colorimetric of CO2 produced by growing microorganisms. Results evaluation media, sensor, system, and algorithm indicate that reliably grows detects a wide variety bacteria fungi. limited pilot clinical trial with prototype research instrument comparable to radiometric BACTEC 460 in its ability grow detect microorganisms blood. On basis these initial findings, large-scale trials comparing...
Cardiovascular resuscitation of the severely injured patient in field remains unsatisfactory because large volumes intravenous fluid are needed to keep up with ongoing blood losses and only small can be given. In first study reported here, (less than or equal 12 mL/kg) 3% NaCl were given patients who having surgery for severe injuries. The restored pressure, pH, urine output approximately one half cumulative requirement received isotonic fluids (p less 0.05). a second study, 7.5%...

Immunity against phosphopeptide antigens lacking in leukemia patients can be restored with stem cell transplantation.
Abstract Purpose: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with several cancers in which the tumor cells express EBV antigens EBNA1 and LMP2. A therapeutic vaccine comprising a recombinant vaccinia virus, MVA-EL, was designed to boost immunity these antigens. phase I trial conducted demonstrate safety immunogenicity of MVA-EL across range doses. Experimental Design: Sixteen patients United Kingdom (UK) EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) received three intradermal vaccinations at...
Social distancing has been adopted worldwide to control severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. isolation is likely lead a decline in physical activity, which could result immune system dysfunction, thereby increasing infection susceptibility and exacerbating the pathophysiology of conditions that are common among older adults, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory disorders. Older adults people living with these comorbidities at greater...

A case of severe gingival overgrowth secondary to cyclosporine therapy in a 19‐yearold black male who received liver allograft transplant is reported. Clinical examination revealed severely overgrown and inflamed gingiva. Surgical excision the excess tissue was accomplished under general anesthesia. Healing occurred uneventfully, with acceptable contours; however, some regrowth evident as early 2 months. Spontaneous repositioning teeth also seen postoperatively. Examination excised tissues...
Dual sets of Monte Carlo computations were made for electrons in water to assess differences due the state condensation. The GSF computer code was used vapor and ORNL liquid. underlying physical specifically incorporated into liquid are discussed. At electron energies greater than or equal 50 eV, ionization is considerably more efficient vapor, high-energy W values two phases being 24.6 30.0 eV/ip. Above Fano factor about half as large vapor. single-collision spectrum harder, giving a...
Work leading to the discovery of minimum dipole moment for electron binding, Dmin=0.639 ea0 (atomic units), by several groups in 1967–1968 is described. It was subsequently learned that this number had been published 1947 Fermi and Teller, who did not, however, indicate how they derived it. The author has found a numerical solution Fermi’s notebooks from 1946–1950 at University Chicago Library. work described presented here with relevant material his notebooks.
