The excitonic peak energies corresponding to the ground electronic subband and the ground heavy-hole band (E-1-HH1) at several temperatures, as determined from the FDM calculations taking into account strain effects, were in qualitatively reasonable agreement with those corresponding to the (E-1-HH1) excitonic transition, as determined from the temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra.”
“The objective of this study was to investigate serum lipids, metabolic Go 6983 mouse parameters and activity of the anti-oxidative enzyme paraoxonase-1 (PON1). The study was conducted on non-pregnant heifers with
optimal health status and on healthy dairy cows in the period of intensive lactation, assuming that the energy and metabolic demands during lactation reduce anti-oxidative protection. Total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in lactating cows than in heifers. Bilirubin concentration and gamma-glutamyltransferase
(GGT) activity were also significantly higher in lactating cows (P < 0.05), indicating increased hepatic efforts of cows to meet energy requirements for lactation. Significantly lower PON1 activity and PON1/HDL ratio in lactating cows compared to heifers (P < 0.05) showed that metabolic efforts during pregnancy, parturition and lactation influence PON1 activity due to oxidative stress. Concurrent increase in total and S3I-201 HDL-cholesterol during lactation indicated that the HDL particle is a major carrier of cholesterol in cows. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.”
“Oral dasatinib (Sprycel(A (R))) is effective in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or imatinib-resistant or imatinib-intolerant chronic-phase, accelerated-phase, or blast-phase CML. In particular, dasatinib is associated with better and faster responses than imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML. The response to dasatinib appears to be maintained in the longer-term. Dasatinib has an acceptable tolerability profile; it is associated SN-38 with myelosuppression,
with fluid retention being the most common nonhematologic adverse event. Thus, dasatinib is a highly effective, once-daily therapy for the first-line treatment of patients with chronic-phase CML and for the second-line treatment of imatinib-resistant or imatinib-intolerant CML.”
“In the past investigations, the exchange-biased bilayers show much larger ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth than that of single ferromagnetic layer films. However, the mechanism of the large linewidth remains controversial. In this paper, the FMR linewidths of NiFe/FeMn bilayers prepared by dc magnetron sputtering system are systematically studied. Besides the intrinsic damping and magnetic inhomogeneity, the extrinsic relaxation based on two-magnon scattering process should be also considered to explain the strong in-plane angular dependence of the linewidths.
