The Pallidum as a Dual Structure in Primates
This paper reviews some of our most recent findings on the organization of the afferent and efferent connections of the globus pallidus (GP) in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). Its main purpose is to demon...

A New Breeding Line of Tobacco Selected by Somatic Hybridization between N. Tabacum and N. Rustica
The interspecific somatic hybrid plant was produced by protoplast fusion between N. tabacum and N. rustica. After it was backcrossed to N. tabacum, and some effective selections were made a new breeding line w...

Chapter
Role of DNA Repair in Resistance to Drugs that Alkylate O6 of Guanine
This review focuses on DNA repair as a mechanism of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents that attack at the O6 position of guanine. This class of agents includes the methylating agents, temozolomide, procarbazin...

Inhibitor of Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Radicicol, Suprresses the Expression of Cyclooxygenase and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in LPS-Stimulated Rat Alveolar Macrophage in Part by Accelerating Degradation of mRNA
Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) have been cloned from various animal cells: constitutively expressed COX-11–5 and the mitogen-inducible COX-26–11. COX-2 is expressed following the activation of cells by vari...

Factors that Determine AChE Efficacy in Synaptic Function
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at neuromuscular junctions (nmj’s) is concentrated in the synaptic cleft. AChE consists of several molecular forms, some of which are specifically adherent to synaptic basal lamina ...

Expression of Turbulence and the Variability of Stellar Winds in Resonance Line Profiles
Observations suggest that supersonic turbulent velocities are generated in stellar winds by instabilities. We treat these velocities as thermal velocity distributions (i.e., Gaussian functions) with higher equ...

The Actin-Bundling Protein Espin and Its Role in the Ectoplasmic Specialization
The ectoplasmic specialization is thought to anchor and position spermatids within the seminiferous epithelium throughout much of spermiogenesis. It may also contribute to the “blood—testis” barrier between Se...

Disulfide Bond Formation of a Hydrophobic Peptide by Dimethyl Sulfoxide
Although air oxidation in aqueous medium is the most common method for the formation of disulfide bonds, the formation of disulfide bonds of hydrophobic peptides is limited by poor solubility. Addition of dime...

A Method to Boost Support Vector Machines
Combining boosting and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is proved to be beneficial, but it is too complex to be feasible. This paper introduces an efficient way to boost SVM. It embraces the idea of active learnin...
