Isolation of plasma membrane fragments and vesicles from ascites fluid of lymphoma-bearing mice and their possible role in the escape mechanism of tumors from host immune rejection
Plasma membranes, generated in vivo by actively growing YAC lymphoma cells, were isolated from cell-free ascites fluid of lymphoma-bearing mice. Partial purification of the ascites fluid (AF) by means of ultra...

Investigation of polymers in solution by polarized luminescence
In recent years, the method of polarized luminescence (PL) has become one of the most valuable methods for the study of macromolecules. It provides detailed information on micro-Brownian motion in polymer chai...

Insulin stimulation of glucose and amino acid transport in mouse fibroblasts with elevated membrane microviscosity
Basal and insulin-stimulated transport of 2-deoxy glucose and of α-aminoisobutyric acid in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were modulated by increasing the lipid microviscosity of the cell plasma membrane. The kinetics ...

In-Motion Weighing Scale and Some Problems of Its Metrological Evaluation
The obvious advantages of the coupled-in-motion railroad track scale motivated rapid development of this branch of scale making. The scales of the world-known companies, such as AVERY, RAILWEIGHT, STREETERAMET...

Isotropic/orthotropic two-layered strips containing cracks terminating at and going through an interface
Crack problems for isotropic/orthotropic two-layered strips have been investigated. A system of two singular integral equations can be derived by using Fourier integral transformation and boundary conditions o...

Solvent Extraction off Scandium from Wolframite Residue
The particular properties of scandium make it an attractive candidate for recovery by solvent extraction—one of the most important processes in hydrometallurgy for the separation, purification and concentratio...

Instability of leukocyte aggregation: Lack of evidence for leukoembolization during various states of inflammation
This study centers on the question of whether the phenomenon of leukocyte aggregation, which is typical to inflammatory conditions, is pathogenic per se. We examined patients and laboratory animals in whom the...

Effect of abscisic acid on the photosynthetic oxygen evolution in barley chloroplasts
In vivo effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on photosynthetic oxygen evolution was investigated in barley chloroplasts. The most important kinetic parameters of O2-producing reactions were changed. The results show inh...

A theory for rule triggering systems
We define and study the family of RTS's, each appearing in the form of a relational database extended with a set of production-like rules with forward-chained operational semantics.

Domain theory for nonmonotonic functions
We prove several lattice theoretical fixpoint theorems based on the classical theorem of Knaster and Tarski. These theorems give sufficient conditions for a system of generally nonmonotonic functions on a comp...

Mixed mode interface crack in a pure power-hardening bimaterial
Analytical and numerical analysis of the dominant singularity solutions of the stress and strain field near an interface crack in a pure power-hardening bimaterial indicates that the crack stress singularity i...

Biosensors Based on Solvated Bilayers Attached to Electrodes
In our world, influenced by microelectronics and science fiction, if we have to imagine the next generation of diagnostic biosensors, it is clear that removal of blood from the body will not be required to mon...

Crystallizability and sinterability of a precursor prepared by oxalate method in ethanol solution
A precursor of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powder was prepared by the oxalate method in ethanol solution. The crystallizability and sinterability of the precursor were studied. The crystallizability of th...

Thermomechanics of Molecular Networks and Rubberlike Materials
On simple elongation, rubberlike materials are capable of undergoing very large reversible elastic deformations. The modulus of elasticity, which unlike solids is strongly dependent on deformation, is some ord...

Thermal Behavior of Solid Polymers During Fracture
The fracture of polymers is inevitably accompanied by thermal events. The sources of the thermal events may be both the deformational processes and the rupture of macromolecules. Pure elastic (brittle) fractur...

Heat Capacity
The heat capacity of any solid body is determined by the normal modes of vibrations available to its structure. If the spectrum of vibrational states, ρ(ω)dω, which gives the number of modes of vibration whose fr...

Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion, or more widely thermal deformation, is characterized by the changes of the dimensions of a body resulting from the temperature changes. Similar to the thermal conductivity, the thermal expan...

Thermomechanics of Glassy and Crystalline Polymers
Conventionally, the deformation of solids is treated within the framework of elasticity theory in terms of stresses and strains, i.e. in purely mechanical terms. Although experimental determination of stress-s...

Thermodynamic Behavior of Solid Polymers in Plastic Deformation and Cold Drawing
The mechanical work spent on the irreversible deformation of solids is always at least partly dissipated. Therefore, independent of the sign of the heat effect resulting from the elastic deformation, plastic d...

Experimental Methods and Instrumentation
Three types of measurements are usually used for the study of the thermal behavior of polymers under deformation: the temperature changes resulting from the deformation of the sample, the temperature dependenc...
