Amino acid substitution and chemical characterization of a Japanese variant of carbonic anhydrase I: CA I Hiroshima-1 (86 Asp → Gly)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1981-06)
An electrophoretic variant of red cell carbonic anhydrase I, designated CA I Hiroshima-1, has been observed in 12 apparently unrelated individuals during a survey of 13,019 individuals from the cities of Hiroshima and ...
A comparison of the responses of two tropical specialist herbivores to host plant patch size
(Springer-Verlag, 1986-03)
The effects of host plant patch size on the abundances of two specialist herbivores (the chrysomelid beetle, Acalymma innubum and the pentatomid bug, Piezosternum subulatum ) were investigated in a natural forest community ...
Immunochemical studies on the metabolism of nitrosamines by ethanol-inducible cytochrome P-450
(Elsevier, 1985-04-30)
The ethanol-induced rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, P-450LM3a, has been shown previously to efficiently catalyze the demethylation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) with a Km of 2.9 mM. Since the predominant Km ...
The distribution of Heterotrissocladius oliveri Saether (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Lake Michigan
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Dr W. Junk Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1986-02)
Fifty one chironomid species were identified from 504 samples collected at depths ranging 8 to 267 m in Lake Michigan, U.S.A. Heterotrissocladius oliveri Saether occurred in 32% of these samples and had an average abundance ...
Datura stramonium lectin: isolation and characterization of the homogeneous lectin
(Elsevier, 1981-07-20)
Evaluation of time-average dispersion models for estimating pheromone concentration in a deciduous forest
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1984-07)
The Sutton and more recent Gaussian plume models of atmospheric dispersion were used to estimate downwind concentrations of pheromone in a deciduous forest. Wind measurements from two bivane anemometers were recorded every ...
Chronic haloperidol treatment increased calcium-dependent phosphorylation in rat striatum
(Elsevier, 1982-01-04)
In previous studies, we observed that when rats were chronically treated with haloperidol, there was a significant increase of calmodulin activity in their striatal membranes. Calmodulin is knwon to modulate calcium-dependent ...
Postnatal ontogeny of acetylated and non-acetylated B-endorphin in rat pituitary
(Elsevier, 1983)
Extracts of the anterior lobe and intermediate lobe of postnatal (P) (Day P1, P7, P14, P21, P28, P35, P42) and adult male Spraque-Dawley rats were analyzed by both a Beta-endorphin (B-END) radioimmunoassay and a radioimmunoassay ...
Individual and population sex allocation patterns
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
A variety of sex allocation models is considered in which (i) the reproductive returns on investment in males differ from the returns on investment in females, (ii) the amounts of resources available for reproduction vary ...
Identification and characterization of a human transthyretin variant
(Elsevier, 1987-10-14)
An apparent Mr variant of plasma transthyretin (TTR), previously detected using 2-D PAGE, is the first reported occurrence of this type of human TTR variant. We characterized the variant TTR to determine the nature of this ...
