An ab initio study of methane activation on lanthanide oxide
Ab initio MP2 calculations have been carried out to study the activation of methane on lanthanide oxide La2O3. O- and O2 2- are assumed to be the active species on the oxide surface. The p...

Oxidative coupling of methane over LaF3/La2O3 catalysts
We studied the oxidative coupling of methane over the LaF3/La2O3 (50∶50) catalyst. The catalyst was found active even at 873 K. At 1023 K, the C2 yield was 12.7% at 26.0% CH4 conversion and 49.1% C2 selectivity. ...

The Effect of Lipoxin on the Binding of [3H]LTB4 to Guinea PIG Eosinophils
It is currently thought that pulmonary eosinophils play a proinflammatory role in bronchial asthma. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is considered an important mediator regulating eosinophil function because of its potent a...

Activation of Protein Kinase C Regulates LTB4 Receptor on Guinea Pig Eosinophils
The eosinophils have traditionally been viewed as a regulatory cell. It function to defend the host against parasitic infection and to contribute to the suppression of inflammatory responses by inactivating su...
