Male sex pheromone of cockroach Eurycotis floridana (Walker) (Blattidae, Polyzosteriinae): role and composition of tergites 2 and 8 secretions
1994
0098-0331; In Eurycotis floridana, the male calling behavior is associated with the exposition of epidermal glands located under tergites 2, 7, and 8. 4-Hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone were recently identified as the specific components of tergite 7 secretion. Methylene chloride extracts of tergite 7 and its major compound 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone attract the conspecific females at a distance. Methylene chloride extracts of tergite 8 are also attractive at a distance to the females, whereas extracts of tergite 2 had no effect on males and females. Our GC investigations showed the absence of specific compounds in tergite 2 secretions. The GC…
Experimental Hepatitis
1994
Publisher Summary This chapter presents the animal models of experimental hepatitis (EAH). EAH was developed as a model of human autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). AIH in humans is a heterogeneous disease, which most often occurs in young females and generally responds very well to immunosuppressive therapy. AIH is often not recognized or is misdiagnosed as chronic non-A, non-B (non-C) viral hepatitis. Even when left untreated for considerable time periods, the disease in some patients is moderate to mild, and transient spontaneous remissions can be observed. EAH in many ways reflects this disease process. EAH also is often mild to moderate, and spontaneous remission occurs. Autoantibodies are cri…
The Structural Variety and Metabolism of Proteins
1994
Individual eukaryote cells contain in the order of 104 different proteins, and each animal species contains an even greater number due to differences between the tissues of an individual and between the individuals themselves; furthermore, the protein spectrum changes during the course of development. The number of different proteins to be found in extant organisms may be as high as 1012. The description of this variety, its origin and biological significance is the most extensive theme in comparative biochemistry. This chapter will concern itself with the possibilities for structural variation and the general metabolism of proteins; further chapters will deal with comparative studies of in…

1994
AbstractThe in vitro diffusion of nalidixic acid (1), pipemidic acid (2), cinoxacin (3), and norfloxacin (4) was studied. The transfer rate constants (kd) from simulated gastro-intestinal juices to simulated plasma, throughout artificial wall lipid membranes, were defined. The kd values suggested that the four drugs are absorbed both in gastric and intestinal environments in similar amounts. To obtain lack of gastric unwanted effects white beeswax microspheres containing 1, 2, 3, and 4 were investigated as a vehicle for the drug intestinal release; they were prepared by the meltable dispersion process using wetting agents. Discrete, reproducible free flowing microspheres were obtained. The …
Comparative Studies on Vascular Endothelium in vitro
1994
Recent studies have presented evidence that the processes of hypoxaemia and reperfusion are involved in several pathogenetic mechanisms of atherosclerotic lesions. The ability of hypoxaemia to activate circulating white blood cells (WBCs) and enhance WBC-endothelial cell (EC) interactions is suspected to be a major factor in deleterious processes in the blood vessel wall. Various groups have suggested that cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin and their leukocyte ligands are involved in intercellular activities of the relevant cell types. We studied the effects of different oxygen tensions, simulating normoxic conditions, hypoxia and hyperoxia in vitro with t…

Preoperative Radiochemotherapy and Radical Surgery of Advanced Head and Neck Cancers — Results of a Prospective, Multicenter DÖSAK Study
1994
Present research concerning the efficiacy of therapeutic strategies for squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity and the oropharynx profits from former observational studies. The so-called retrospective German, Austrian, and Swiss Association for Head and Neck Tumors (DOSAK) study (Platz et al. 1986) served to review existing proposals for classification (UICC 1973, 1978; AJC 1978) and to develop a statistical classification which enables the head and neck oncologist to define prognostically homogeneous patient collectives. The treatment-dependent prognostic index (TPI) was the corresponding result (Platz et al. 1982).
Vapautuksen ekologia : ympäristöeettisen maaseutupolitiikan peruslähtökohtia
1994
In Environmentally ethical rural policy we have sought to find a solid ethical as well as aesthetic basis from ecological food production for securing the life and vitality of rural life in Finland. Liberation ecology combines the approach used by liberation theology with ecology. A decision made by an individual farmer could be the start of a new rural policy based on environmental ethics. At the same time, it could help people to free themselves from the "straightjacket" of the market economy through increased ecological awareness. The environmentally ethical viewpoint is always a human viewpoint. Although we can artificially isolate in our mind some absolute values in nature, this valuat…
The essential identity of the framework structures of ZSM-8 and ZSM-5
1994
The crystal structures of TEA-ZSM-8 and its calcined template-free form have been studied by Rietveld analyses based on X-ray powder diffraction data. The results show that the aluminosilicate framework structure of ZSM-8 is essentially identical to that of ZSM-5. The tetraethylammonium molecule could be located in the difference Fourier analysis yielding positions similar to its TPA counterpart in ZSM-5. Lattice constants of ZSM-8 are in the same range as for ZSM-5. Contrary results are related to incorrectly indexed powder patterns. Optical investigations of ZSM-5 and ZSM-8 crystals showed that the zeolites studied here are both twinned exhibiting differently shaped twin individuals.
Methodology for determining foliar penetration of herbicides with reference to oil-based adjuvants
1994
Oils are used extensively in pesticide formulation and in pesticide application as spray adjuvants. They improve the biological efficacy of several foliage-applied herbicides without impairing their selectivity. Beneficial effects were first observed with atrazine in maize (Zea mays; Jones and Anderson 1968; Nalewaja 1968) and with phenmedipham in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris: Miller and Nalewaja 1973). More recently, oils have met with success as spray adjuvants for graminicides (Buhler and Burnside 1984; Nalewaja 1986; Barrentine and McWorther 1988) and for bentazone (Doran and Andersen 1975; Nalewaja et al. 1975). Since they allow the use of reduced herbicide application rates, oils also im…

Reparto y evolución del dominio útil en el ducado de Segorbe: Geldo: 1613-1740
1994
En Geldo, los establecimientos de los bienes que habían pertenecido a los moriscos se realizaron exclusivamente bajo régimen enfitéutico. Los repartos iniciales de 1612-1614 originaron una comunidad rural no igualitaria pero donde la autosuficiencia de la familia campesina parecía asegurada. Pese a la presencia de un dinámico mercado de la tierra y de bienes inmuebles, así como del paulatino incremento que experimentó su diferenciación interna (y que se debió más a factores intrínsecos a su propia dinámica que a la actuación de grupos sociales extraños a ella) hasta 1740 seguía constituyendo una sociedad agraria con un escaso grado de movilidad social.
ESR study of photo-oxidation of phenol at low temperature on polycrystalline titanium dioxide
1994
The formation of oxygen radicals on hydrated TiO 2 (anatase) samples irradiated at 77 K in the near-UV region and their interaction with adsorbed phenol molecules have been studied by electron spin resonance. The results indicate that the irradiation determines the generation of O 2 H · and O − radicals which react with adsorbed phenol molecules. Phenol-derived radicals are generated after warming the sample at room temperature. A reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of the observed species.
Combined Epidural and General Anesthesia Prevents Excessive Oxygen Consumption Postoperatively
1994
In the postoperative period patients are at risk of excessive oxygen consumption (VO2). However, patients suffering from cardiovascular disease may be unable to increase their oxygen transport capacity sufficiently and may be especially vulnerable to tissue hypoxia as part of the reaction to intraoperative stress. During the last 10 years contradictory results concerning the benefits of a combined epidural and light general anesthesia have been published. Some of the results indicate that postoperative catabolism maybe depressed and that the neuroendocrine response to stress may be inhibited by such a combined technique1,2. We studied the effect of a combined epidural and light general anes…
Anti-rat liver microsomal and cytosolic antibodies in hepatitis C virus infection.
1994
In order to assess the frequency of autoimmunity markers in hepatitis C virus infection, 229 RIBA 2 HCV positive individuals were tested by ELISA and Immunoblot assay using as antigen rat liver microsomal and cytosolic proteins. Twenty-one out of 229 individuals (9%) showed anti-rat liver microsome antibodies by ELISA, but the titre was low (1:100 to 1:1,600). In Immunoblot, only 5 of these 21 ELISA positive sera recognized also rat liver microsomal proteins (MW between 30 to 64 kDa). Antibodies against rat liver cytosolic proteins were found by ELISA in 14 out of 229 individuals (6%). Three of them showed a reactivity in Immunoblot to 42 kDa or 55 kDA proteins. In conclusion, HCV infection…

Determination of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn content of infant formulas by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV).
1994
The differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) method described is based on the one reported by Hasse et al., but adapted to normal laboratory conditions. The values obtained in the estimation of the analytical parameters (linearity, detection and quantification limits, precision and accuracy) show that in the conditions described the method is sensitive enough, reliable and useful for determining these elements in infant formulas. A comparison between DPASV and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) methods in the conditions described here shows that the former is less sensitive but that they are similar in precision. The cadmium, copper, lead and zinc contents of different type…

Ein gekoppeltes BEM/FEM-Problem aus der Elastostatik, ein typisches Substrukturproblem, wird im Rahmen der symmetrisch-definiten BEM behandelt. Es werden vier verschiedene Variationsformulierungen vorgestellt, in deren jeder die Transmissionsbedingungen gegenuber der Trennflache zwischen FE-Unterregion und BE-Unterregion die Rolle naturlicher Randbedingungen spielen. Zwei der oben erwahnten Formulierungen sind Stationaritatsprinzipien in gemischter Form, die anderen beiden sind Sattelpunkt-Prinzipien, d. h. Kombinationen des Rand-min-max-Prinzips entweder mit dem Prinzip der minimalen Gesamtpotentialenergie oder mit dem Prinzip der minimalen Gesamtkomplementaritatsenergie. Jedes der oben an…
A method for screening diacetyl and acetoin-producing bacteria on agar plates
1994
A simple method for screening bacteria for diacetyl and acetoin production was developed. This method is based on the ability of diacetyl and acetoin to form a red insoluble complex with α-naphthol in the presence of creatine. Addition of carboxymethyl-cellulose containing calcium citrate in the medium allowed discrimination between citrate utilizing and non-utilizing bacteria.

(EN) This survey deals with conceptual and theoritical basis of imprecise preference modelling. From the establishment of non-punctuality of the imprecise preference threshold, imprecise discrimination power is set. This involves that the modelling preference relation tool is composite. Which allows a generalization of the limited comparability principle and an introduction of new concepts which adapt to this theoritical framework.(FR) Ce travail pose les fondements conceptuels et théoriques de la modélisation des préférences imprécises. A partir du constat de non ponctualité des seuils de préférence, il pose le principe du pouvoir discriminant imprécis. Il en résulte que l'outil relationne…
[39] Lipoperoxyl radical-scavenging activity of vitamin A and analogs in homogeneous solution
1994
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the assay method for determining the reactivity of all- trans -retinol and other natural and synthetic retinoids, with radicals generated by reaction of the lipid-soluble azo initiator 2,2 ' -azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN) with methyl linoleate. The chapter discusses the general principles for measuring antioxidant activity. The oxidation of linoleic acid methyl ester (LAME) is the simplest model for studying the oxidation of polyunsaturated lipids and has been widely adopted to evaluate antioxidant activity. Because linoleic acid has two double bonds, peroxidation occurs at the bisallylic hydrogens and generates conjugated diene hydroperox…
Geochronology and Nd-Sr systematics of Lusatian granitoids: significance for the evolution of the Variscan orogen in east-central Europe
1994
A variety of pre-Variscan granitoids and two Variscan monzogranites occurring in the central and western parts of the Lusatian Granodiorite Complex (LGC), Saxonia were dated by the single zircon evaporation method, complemented by whole rock Nd isotopic data and Rb —Sr whole rock and mineral ages. The virtually undeformed pre-Variscan granitoids constitute a genetically related, mostly peraluminous magmatic suite, ranging in composition from two-mica granodiorite, muscovite-bearing biotite quartz diorite (tonalite) and granodiorite to biotite granodiorite and monozogranite.
