Sialic-acid-binding lectin from the slug Limax flavus
(Springer-VerlagBlackwell Publishing Ltd, 1998-06-01)
The synthesis of functional polyphosphazenes and their surfaces
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
The macromolecular substitution approach for the synthesis of polyphosphazenes provides access to many different polymers. However, it precludes the use of reagents that contain two or more functional groups because such ...
Inhibition of aortic wall calcification in bioprosthetic heart valves by ethanol pretreatment: Biochemical and biophysical mechanisms
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-10)
The effectiveness of ethanol pretreatment on preventing calcification of glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine aortic bioprosthetic heart valve (BPHV) cusps was previously demonstrated, and the mechanism of action of ethanol was ...
Effects of curing time and filler concentration on curing and postcuring of urethane dimethacrylate composites: A microcalorimetric study
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-05)
The isothermal enthalpy changes with time of a dental composite were examined by microcalorimetry to isolate the effects of different filler concentrations and curing times on chemical aging of these composites. Urethane ...
Liquid-crystalline phase transition in organophosphazenes
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
Organophosphazenes with a similar mesogenic moiety were prepared and their mesogenicity was studied by differential scanning calorinetry (DSC) measurements and polarizing microsope observations. In cyclotriphosphazenes ...
Rapid detection of human infections with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography: preliminary results
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-09)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) for rapid detection of human infections. Eleven patients who were known ...
Optimizing seeding and culture methods to engineer smooth muscle tissue on biodegradable polymer matrices
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-01-05)
The engineering of functional smooth muscle (SM) tissue is critical if one hopes to successfully replace the large number of tissues containing an SM component with engineered equivalents. This study reports on the effects ...
Identification and functional characterization of DR6, a novel death domain‐containing TNF receptor
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 1998-07-24)
Genetic structure of five susceptibility gene regions for coronary artery disease: disequilibria within and among regions
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-09)
We analyzed two-locus disequilibria for 16 polymorphic loci of seven susceptibility genes for coronary artery disease located in five chromosomal regions distributed across four chromosomes. Included were the genes coding ...
Pt/MCM-41 catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with hydrocarbons in the presence of excess oxygen
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Kluwer Academic Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-03)
First results are reported on the use of MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieve as the support for Pt for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by hydrocarbons in the presence of O 2 . MCM-41 provided the highest specific NO ...
