Gas—liquid chromatographic analyses
1984
Abstract The gas chromatography (GC) of n -alkyl acetates (CH 3 COOR), chloroacetates (CH 2 ClCOOR), dichloroacetates (CHCl 2 COOR) and trichloroacetates (CCl 3 COOR), where the alcohol chain length (R) varied between 1 and 8, and certain of their monochlorinated derivatives, 176 compounds altogether, has been studied on SE-30 and OV-351 glass capillary columns under the same operating conditions. The isomeric monochlorinated esters are eluted in direct order from the 1- chloro to the ω-chloro isomer, the separation of the isomers being complete on OV- 351. On SE-30, however, the peaks of the 6- and 7-chlorooctyl esters are partly overlapped. The separation of the mixtures of odd- and e…
Phylostratic Shift of Whole-Genome Duplications in Normal Mammalian Tissues towards Unicellularity Is Driven by Developmental Bivalent Genes and Reve…
2020
Tumours were recently revealed to undergo a phylostratic and phenotypic shift to unicellularity. As well, aggressive tumours are characterized by an increased proportion of polyploid cells. In order to investigate a possible shared causation of these two features, we performed a comparative phylostratigraphic analysis of ploidy-related genes, obtained from transcriptomic data for polyploid and diploid human and mouse tissues using pairwise cross-species transcriptome comparison and principal component analysis. Our results indicate that polyploidy shifts the evolutionary age balance of the expressed genes from the late metazoan phylostrata towards the upregulation of unicellular and early m…
Wykorzystanie modelu PESO do pomiaru poziomu ekspozycji i zaangażowania w prowadzonych w mediach społecznościowych działaniach promocyjnych pośrednik…
2019
The growing popularity of social media is accompanied by an increase in the importance of the quality and frequency of content published in the Internet. This entails constant analysis, among others, in the field of exposure and the involvement of Internet users in the media. Among the many available tools to carry out the above analysis, in this work the PESO model – Don Bartholomew was used. The aim of the paper is to implement the PESO model (measuring social media on many levels) on the real estate market and to analyze the level of exposure and social media involvement by real estate agents. The detailed objective is to analyze the information content of social media publications, vide…
Existence and Regularity for a Class of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Boundary Value Problems
2002
AbstractThe regularity of the solution of the telegraph system with nonlinear monotone boundary conditions is investigated by two methods. The first one is based on D'Alembert-type representation formulae for the solution. In the second method the telegraph system is reduced to a linear Cauchy problem with a locally Lipschitzian functional perturbation; then regularity results are established by appealing to the theory of linear semigroups.
Analytic structure ofϕ4theory using light-by-light sum rules
2013
Abstract We apply a sum rule for the forward light-by-light scattering process within the context of the ϕ 4 quantum field theory. As a consequence of the sum rule a stringent causality criterion is presented and the resulting constraints are studied within a particular resummation of graphs. Such resummation is demonstrated to be consistent with the sum rule to all orders of perturbation theory. We furthermore show the appearance of particular non-perturbative solutions within such approximation to be a necessary requirement of the sum rule. For a range of values of the coupling constant, these solutions manifest themselves as a physical bound state and a K-matrix pole. For another domain …
Characterization of the Epithelial Permeation Enhancing Effect of Basic Butylated Methacrylate Copolymer—In Vitro Studies
2008
Membrane destabilizing properties and increased efflux of doxorubicin from liposomes caused by basic butylated methacrylate copolymer (BBMC), better known under its commercial trade name EUDRAGIT E, have been described in the scientific literature. Here, we investigated the effect of BBMC on suspended and filter-grown Caco2 cells with respect to apical-to-basal transport and membrane permeabilization using transport assays, trypan blue exclusion assay, measurements of transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), confocal laser scanning microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The effect of inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) by okadaic acid was investigated by measuring TEER,…
A New Fluorescent Method of Detection Structural and Functional Properties Of Cells and Immune State Of Organism
1999
It is very important for clinics to receive information about properties of immune competent cell lymphocyte (ly) with the express method. Fluorescence methods of analysis settled down these requirements [1], At Riga Technical University was synthesised a new fluorescent probe-derivative of 3-aminobenzanthrone — ABM ( conditional name). ABM is neutral membrane probe, non-toxic for cells, photostable, sensitive to polarity changes of microenvironment, localised in the depth of phospholipid bilayer of cell membrane. Flow cytometric experiments observed strong bimodal distribution with high (90%) and low (10%) ABM fluorescence intensity (F) respectively [2, J.Fluorescence (accepted)]. The spec…
Neocortical Layer 6B as a Remnant of the Subplate - A Morphological Comparison.
2015
The fate of the subplate (SP) is still a matter of debate. The SP and layer 6 (which is ontogenetically the oldest and innermost neocortical lamina) develop coincidentally. Yet, the function of sublamina 6B is largely unknown. It has been suggested that it consists partly of neurons from the transient SP, however, experimental evidence for this hypothesis is still missing. To obtain first insights into the neuronal complement of layer 6B in the somatosensory rat barrel cortex, we used biocytin stainings of SP neurons (aged 0-4 postnatal days, PND) and layer 6B neurons (PND 11-35) obtained during in vitro whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. Neurons were reconstructed for a quantitative charac…
Structural and regulatory functions of keratins.
2007
The diversity of epithelial functions is reflected by the expression of distinct keratin pairs that are responsible to protect epithelial cells against mechanical stress and to act as signaling platforms. The keratin cytoskeleton integrates these functions by forming a supracellular scaffold that connects at desmosomal cell-cell adhesions. Multiple human diseases and murine knockouts in which the integrity of this system is destroyed testify to its importance as a mechanical stabilizer in certain epithelia. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the precise mechanisms responsible for assembly and disease pathology. In addition to these structural aspects of keratin function, experimental e…
In silico prediction of central nervous system activity of compounds. Identification of potential pharmacophores by the TOPS–MODE approach
2004
The central nervous system (CNS) activity has been investigated by using a topological substructural molecular approach (TOPS-MODE). A discriminant analysis to classify CNS and non-CNS drugs was developed on a data set (302 compounds) of great structural variability where more than 81% (247/302) were well classified. Randic's orthogonalization procedures was carried out to allow the interpretation of the model and to avoid the collinearity among descriptors. The discriminant model was assessed by a leave-n-out (when n varies from 2 to 20) cross-validation procedure (79.94% of correct classification), an external prediction set composed by 78 CNS/non-CNS drugs (80.77% of correct classificati…
