1. The recommended allowance of the National Reasearch
Council, 100 mg ascorbic acid for the 18-year-old boys and 80 mg
for the 16 to 19-year-old girls, did not maintain mean plasma ascorbic
acid values at levels as high as the respective saturation means. For
the girls all the mean values...

Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled
signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist
and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation
assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion
chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Paraguay and used traditionally by the native Guarani peoples for centuries to sweeten medicinal teas. Stevia has only been commercially cultivated over the past 50 years and cultural practice information suitable for implementation by growers is limited. Currently stevia’s commercial...
Asynchronous circuits have recently been a breakthrough in many high performance computers. The concept of asynchronous circuits which started a long time ago has slowly grasped the attention of many designers. The Muller-C-element is an important control block in many asynchronous designs and therefore it is important to understand some...
DNA microarray technology is a powerful tool for analyzing patterns in gene expression data for thousands of genes. Due to a number of systematic variations in microarray experiments, the raw gene expression data is often obfuscated by undesirable technical noises. Various normalization techniques were designed in an attempt to remove...
Bromoalkoxylation of dihydropyran with bromine and 1-borneol, followed by dehydrobromination and epoxidation, afforded trans-2-1- bornyloxy-3,4-epoxytetrahydropyran as a major product. This was treated with sodium phenylselenide to give a 1:1 mixture of (2R,3R,4R)- 2-1-bornyloxy-3-hydroxy-4-phenylselenotetrahydropyran and its (2S,3S, 4S) diastereomer. Elimination of the selenoxide, derived from oxidation of the former with hydrogen...
Cells of an obligately psychrophilic marine bacterium, Vibrio
marinus, strain MP-1, were grown at 4 C and 15 C and studied for
possible physiological differences. No differences were noted in
sugar fermentation or temperature-shift growth studies; in both cases
adequate nutrients were available. Some differences were noted in
viability retention...
Ryegrass residue consists of three main C fractions: readily available soluble C, intermediately available cellulose and hemicellulose, and slowly available lignin. Changes in chemical composition during decomposition influence rate of degradation as well as composition of the microbial community involved. Use of ¹³C-labeled plant material coupled with analysis of phospholipid...
