This technique, based on the radioactive labeling of putrescine and the scintillation counting of its consumption, is advantageous in terms of rapidity and sensitivity, but it was mainly conceived to be applicable to serum samples. Comas-Basté et al. have recently developed a rapid ...
Burr’s imperative is that we “Look Up,” and when we do, as with her paintings, we will be pleasantly surprised, if not blessed. The paintings are all untitled, allowing for freedom of interpretation, of self-labeling, of Wordsworthian immersion. Who does not want to wander within each...
Investigations of cell and tissue structure and function using innovative methods and approaches have again yielded numerous exciting findings in recent months and have added important data to current knowledge, inspiring new ideas and hypotheses in various fields of modern life sciences. Topics and cont...
mainly for its ability to inhibit the activity of prooxidant agents generated by ROS. The antioxidant activity of vitamin E is directly linked to its ability to inhibit the lipid peroxidation in unsaturated fatty acids, incorporating itself into cell membranes, which effectively inhibits lipid peroxida...
The general principles of psychological assistance to autistic individuals are: (a) encouraging their long-term activity jointly with others; (b) providing a well-organized and thoughtful social environment where the activity takes place. Autistic persons often need special assistance to become ...
Melanin is an endogenous pigment, normally presents in hair, nails, skin, and other tissues of living organisms, that is able to produce a PA signal, showing a broadband optical absorption depending on its polymorph structure [11]. Such properties make natural melanin and its synthetic analogues...
Labeling someone as a Muslim, a Turk or a soccer player are ways of saying other things about these people. Identification: We also associate with certain groups (our in-groups), which serves to bolster our self-esteem. Comparison: We compare our groups with other groups, seeing a favorable...
The totalizing process (the impetus for its realization) can take place in many forms and guises and it is this systemic aspect of genocide that is most often ignored. And, consistently, it begins with a designation, a signing or labeling of the other. It is this movement of the other ...
Activity recognition consists of identifying some actions from a series of observations. This field has caught the interest of many researchers since the 1980s due to the number of applications for which it is useful, such as medicine [1,2], human–computer interaction [3,4], surveillance [5...
It was noticed that part of the molecules presented activity in one or more of these assays, indicating anti-inflammatory potential. Yan et al. [170] were able to isolate four new compounds possessing a 2,3-dihydrobenzo [b] [1,4] dioxin group, together with five N-acetyldopamine dimers ...
