Kevin Harriger and Mikel Tookes (CBP) supported involvement by CBP, and Donka Weaver (CBP) coordinated activities between CBP and APHIS at the ports. Kendra Vieira (University of Minnesota) helped tremendously with manuscript editing and provided recommendations. We thank Sian Bailey (APHIS), ...
their review of the factors affecting mycelial morphology and metabolite production, Braun and Vecht-Lifshitz [11] suggest that mycelial aggregates may be viewed not merely as mechanical conglomerates, but rather as complex differentiated tissues, phenotypically characterized by specific metabolic activities...
All chemicals are analytical grade and are used as received without further purification. In a typical preparation, ZnSO4·7H2O (0.58 g) was dissolved in NaOH solution (60 ml 0.25 M) under constant stirring for 10 min, N2H4·H2O (10 ml, 80%) was then added into this solution, with cons...
In a more recent application, endoprotease digestion of surface-bound proteins has been applied to the technique of surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization (SELDI) MS 2, 3, 4. The SELDI technique involves the use of surfaces with various functional activities to capture target proteins. ...
The GAPDH activity may influence many other cellular activities, facilitating a greater capacity for adaptation to environmental challenges or growth conditions. Moreover, recent studies have shown the importance of certain housekeeping enzymes, including the GADPH as virulence factors for a vast variety ...
The photocatalytic activities of α-GaO(OH), α-Ga2O3, and β-Ga2O3 nanoparticles were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine Blue (RB) under UVC (254 nm) irradiation. Figure 6(a) shows absorption spectra of RB solution in the presence of β-Ga2O3 nanoparticles. The ...
The scope for signaling in CSF would, therefore, be enhanced if defined structures could a) protect contents from degradation; b) provide environments for hydrophobic constituents; c) localize enzyme activities; d) mediate receptor recognition for activation at specific locations; and e) be amenable...
In cartilaginous fishes, variability in the size of the brain and its major regions is often associated with primary habitat and/or specific behavior patterns, which may allow for predictions on the relative importance of different sensory modalities. The Greenland (Somniosus microcephalus) and Pacifi...
The prepared samples have been assayed for their electrical activities. The electrical activity (DC and AC conductivity) for ligand and its metal complexes has been examined at different frequencies (1, 10, 100 kHz) in the temperature ranges 303–573 and 300–625 K, respectively. The DC ...
Before a new mouse was tested, the EPM apparatus was cleaned up with 20 percent alcohol to eliminate any putrid odor index. The movement and other behavioral activities of each mouse in the EPM were recorded used a video camera which was then analyzed using the automated tracking program Etho...
