Light-regulated release of liposomes from phospholipid membranes via photoresponsive polymer-DNA conjugates

A method for releasing tethered liposomes from a supported lipid bilayer in response to a light stimulus is described. The tethering is accomplished through the hybridization of end-functionalized DNA that resides on both the supported lipid bilayer and liposome surfaces. Normally consisting of cholesterol or lipid tails, the end group is replaced in this study by a photoresponsive polymer that pa

Petrology and ion microprobe U-Pb chronology applied to a metabasic intrusion in southern Sweden: A study on zircon formation during metamorphism and deformation

The Aker metabasite occupies a key position in a major tectonic lineament in southernmost Sweden, the Protogine Zone, which coincides closely with the eastern boundary of the late Mesoproterozoic Sveconorwegian orogen of southwest Scandinavia. Metamorphic reactions, associated with the transformation from isotropic gabbro to foliated garnet amphibolite, were identified from disequilibrium textures

Retrospective diagnostics of congenital cytomegalovirus infection performed by polymerase chain reaction in blood stored on filter paper

Capillary blood samples from 63 infants collected 3-7 days after birth, and thereafter stored on filter papers for 12-18 y, were tested for the presence of CMV DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Of 16 infants with proven congenital CMV infection (positive virus isolation test in urine sampled within 1 week of age), 13 (81%) had a positive CMV PCR test and 3 (19%) a negative PCR tes

ADP Acting on P2Y13 Receptors Is a Negative Feedback Pathway for ATP Release From Human Red Blood Cells.

Red blood cells may regulate tissue circulation and O-2 delivery by releasing the vasodilator ATP in response to hypoxia. When released extracellularly, ATP is rapidly degraded to ADP in the circulation by ectonucleotidases. In this study, we show that ADP acting on P2Y(13) receptors on red blood cells serves as a negative feedback pathway for the inhibition of ATP release. mRNA of the ADP recepto

Perchlorate stimulates insulin secretion by shifting the gating of L-type Ca2+ currents in mouse pancreatic B-cells towards negative potentials

The effects of the chaotrophic anion perchlorate (ClO4-) on glucose-induced electrical activity, exocytosis and ion channel activity in mouse pancreatic B-cells were investigated by patch-clamp recordings and capacitance measurements. ClO4- stimulated glucose-induced electrical activity and increased the action potential frequency by 70% whilst not affecting the membrane potential when applied in

A revision of the Afrotropical genus Dhatrichia Mosely, 1948 (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae).

Five previously described species of Dhatrichia Mosely, 1948 are recognized: D. inasa Mosely, 1948 from Yemen; D. bipunctata Statzner, 1977 from Zaire; D. lerabae (Gibon, Guenda & Coulibaly, 1994) comb. n. from Burkina Faso and Ghana; and D. cinyra Wells & Andersen, 1995 and D. divergenta Wells & Andersen, 1995 from Tanzania. A sixth species D. feredougoubae Gibon, 1987 from the Ivory

Theoretical Investigation into Longitudinal Dispersion in Natural Rivers — A Scaling Dispersion Model

Using a broad variety of scientific methods this dissertation systematically investigates the fundamental mechanisms underlying the dispersion processes in natural rivers and their mathematical descriptions in a geometrical framework. Emphasis is on the geometrical variations and irregularities of a natural river and their scales. Analysis starts with the integral scale and the Fickian dispersion

Metoder för riskanalys - Fuktsäkerhet i byggnader

I denna skrift ges en introduktion till riskanalys och riskbedömning vid fuktberäkningar. Vid riskbedömningar kan man ta hänsyn till spridningar i materialegenskaper och omgivande klimatfaktorer. I skriften diskuteras hur man ska välja material - och klimatdata i olika situationer och hur olämpliga val kan ge en betydande över- eller underskattning av risken för ogynsamma fuktförhållanden.
