Green Chemistry and Environmental Management Systems: Relationships, Synergies, Advantages and Barriers of Joint Implementation at Universities
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) based on international standard ISO 14001 are recognized as a tool to improve the environment and the sustainability of organizations. Green Chemistry (GC) seeks to reduc...

The effect of climate-change-related heat waves on mortality in Spain: uncertainties in health on a local scale
Different epidemiological studies have shown that high temperatures are directly related to mortality, furthermore many studies on the effects of climate change on future mortality are being conducted. The obj...

CD29 expressed on plasma cells is activated by divalent cations and soluble CD106 contained in the bone marrow plasma: refractory activation is associated with enhanced proliferation and exit of clonal plasma cells to circulation in multiple myeloma patients
Malignant plasma cells (PC) in human multiple myeloma (MM) are retained in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. Using HUTS21 monoclonal antibody that reacts with active CD29 integrin, we demonstrate that thi...

Experimental characterization of domain walls dynamics in a photorefractive oscillator
We report on the experimental characterization of domain wall dynamics in a photorefractive resonator in a degenerate four-wave mixing configuration. We show how the non-flat profile of the emitted field affec...

Experimental investigation of Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken laser instability in fiber ring lasers
It has been suggested (by Pessina et al. in 1997) that the observed spontaneous mode beating of erbium-doped-fiber ring lasers can be explained as the multimode instability described in 1968 by Risken and Numm...

Role of field losses on the Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken laser instability: application to erbium-doped fibre lasers
We analyse the effect of both distributed and localised losses in a laser cavity on the Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken multimode instability. For two-level lasers, distributed losses are found to have a negligib...

Modulation of Cytosolic Calcium Levels in Osteoblast-like Osteosarcoma Cells by Olpadronate and its Amino-Derivative IG-9402
The molecular mechanisms as well as the structure/activity relationships involved in the antiresorptive actions of bisphosphonates on bone cells are still not clear. Replacement of the R1-hydroxyl by an NH2 gr...

SHP-1 expression in peripheral T cells from patients with Sezary syndrome and in the T cell line HUT-78: implications in JAK3-mediated signaling
SHP-1 is a key tyrosine phosphatase that acts as a negative regulator of signal transduction in lymphocytes, which has been found down-regulated in several T cell lines derived from human T cell malignancies. ...

Subcutaneous versus intravenous low-dose IL-2 therapy after autologous transplantation: results of a prospective, non-randomized study
Use of IL-2 therapy after autologous transplantation is currently being explored to reduce relapse rate. Low doses of the cytokine induce significant immunomodulation avoiding the severe side-effects associate...

Models, predictions, and experimental measurements of far-infrared NH3-laser dynamics and comparisons with the Lorenz-Haken model
Dynamics of the intensity and optical field amplitude of a coherently pumped far-infrared NH3-laser are measured and characterized. The experimental findings in certain parameter ranges closely follow the dynamic...

In Vivo Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin on Circulating CD34+ Cells of Uremic Patients
Impaired renal production of erythropoietin (EPO) is the main cause of the blunted marrow response to the anemia in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [1]. Recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) is being widely used to co...

The influence of barbiturates on paroxysmal EEG activity induced by hippocampal and/or thalamic cobalt foci
Epileptiform 7–9/sec spike and wave and polyspike EEG discharges were induced in male albino rats by chronic cobalt-gelatine implantation into the dorsal hippocampus and/or non-specific thalamus.

Influence of atropine on sleep cycle in rats
In freely moving rats with implanted electrodes the influence of subcutaneously administered atropine sulphate on EEG signs of sleep cycles was analysed. Four subsequent single doses of 0.75; 1.0; 1.25; 2.25 o...
