(+/-)-Pindolol acts as a partial agonist at atypical beta-adrenoceptors in the guinea pig duodenum. (1/33)

The agonistic and antagonistic effects of (+/-)-pindolol (1-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)-3-[(1-methylethyl)amino]-2-propanol) were estimated to clarify whether (+/-)-pindolol acts as a partial agonist on atypical beta-adrenoceptors in the guinea pig duodenum. (+/-)-Pindolol induced concentration-dependent relaxation with a pD2 value of 5.10 +/- 0.03 and an intrinsic activity of 0.83 +/- 0.03. However, the relaxations to (+/-)-pindolol were not antagonized by the non-selective beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist (+/-)-propranolol (1 microM). In the presence of (+/-)-propranolol (1 microM), the non-selective beta1-, beta2- and beta3-adrenoceptor antagonist (+/-)-bupranolol (30 microM) induced a rightward shift of the concentration-response curves for (+/-)-pindolol (apparent pA2 = 5.41 +/- 0.06). In the presence of (+/-)-propranolol, (+/-)-pindolol (10 microM) weakly but significantly antagonized the relaxant effects to catecholamines ((-)-isoprenaline, (-)-noradrenaline and (-)-adrenaline), a selective beta3-adrenoceptor agonist BRL37344 ((R*,R*)-(+/-)-4-[2-[(2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl) amino]propyl]phenoxyacetic acid sodium salt) and a non-conventional partial beta3-adrenoceptor agonist (+/-)-CGP12177A([4-[3-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1,3-dihydro-2H -benzimidazol-2-one] hydrochloride). These results demonstrate that (+/-)-pindolol possesses both agonistic and antagonistic effects on atypical beta-adrenoceptors in the guinea pig duodenum.  (+info)

Further evidence that (+/-)-carteolol-induced relaxation is mediated by beta2-adrenoceptors but not by beta3-adrenoceptors in the guinea pig taenia caecum. (2/33)

The properties of the beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor partial agonist (+/-)-carteolol were investigated against the beta2- and beta3-adrenoceptors of the taenia caecum of the guinea pig. (--)-Isoprenaline and (+/-)-carteolol induced concentration-dependent relaxation in this tissue. The non-selective beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist (+/-)-propranolol (10-100 nM), the selective beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118,551 (10-100 nM) and the non-selective beta1-, beta2- and beta3-adrenoceptor antagonist (+/-)-bupranolol (10-100nM), caused a concentration-dependent rightward shift of the concentration-response curves for (--)-isoprenaline and (+/-)-carteolol. Schild regression plot analyses carried out for (+/-)-propranolol against (--)-isoprenaline and (+/-)-carteolol gave pA2 values of 8.35 and 8.24, respectively. Schild plot analyses of ICI 118,551 against (--)-isoprenaline and (+/-)-carteolol gave pA2 values of 8.47 and 8.41, respectively. Schild plot analyses of (+/-)-bupranolol against (--)-isoprenaline and (+/-)-carteolol gave pA2 values of 8.47 and 8.53, respectively. Slopes of the Schild plots were not significantly different from unity. These results suggest that the relaxant effects of (+/-)-carteolol in the guinea pig taenia caecum are mediated by beta2-adrenoceptors but not by beta3-adrenoceptors.  (+info)

Oestradiol and progesterone change beta3-adrenergic receptor affinity and density in brown adipocytes. (3/33)

OBJECTIVE: To check if the oestradiol- and progesterone-driven reduction in noradrenaline responsiveness of brown adipocytes is due to a reduction in either the density or the affinity of beta3-adrenoceptors (beta3-AR). beta1/beta2-AR were also studied. DESIGN: Four groups of animals were considered. (i) control rats at thermoneutrality, (ii) cold-acclimated rats, to determine beta-AR under continuous sympathetic stimulation, which is known to decrease noradrenaline responsiveness, (iii) oestradiol- and (iv) progesterone-treated cold-acclimated rats to determine hormonal effects on beta-AR populations in thermogenically active brown adipocytes. METHODS: Oestradiol and progesterone were chronically elevated by means of s.c. Silastic implants. Densities and affinities of beta-AR populations were determined by binding studies using [3H]CGP-12177 as radioligand. RESULTS: Two populations of low and high binding affinities (K(d) 1.6 and 27.3 nmol/l) corresponding to beta3- and beta1/beta2-AR respectively were found at thermoneutrality. beta3-AR density was higher than that of beta1/beta2-AR (B(max) 419 and 143 fmol/mg protein respectively). Cold-acclimated rats showed a reduction of beta3-AR binding capacity (B(max) 308 fmol/mg protein). Oestradiol and progesterone reduced the density of beta3-AR to 167 and 185 fmol/mg protein respectively, while increasing their affinity for [3H]CGP-12177 (K(d) 9.5 and 4.0 nmol/l vs 16 nmol/l in cold-acclimated untreated rats). The density of beta1/beta2-AR was also reduced after oestradiol treatment (B(max) 51 fmol/mg protein). CONCLUSIONS: Both oestradiol and progesterone reduce the density of beta3-AR in brown adipose tissue (BAT) while increasing their affinity for [3H]CGP-12177. Oestradiol also reduces the density of beta1/beta2-AR whereas cold-acclimation reduces the density of beta3-AR.  (+info)

Mouse beta 3a- and beta 3b-adrenoceptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells display identical pharmacology but utilize distinct signalling pathways. (4/33)

1. This study characterizes the mouse beta(3a)-adrenoceptor (AR) and the splice variant of the beta(3)-AR (beta(3b)-AR) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1). 2. Stable clones with high (approximately 1200), medium (approximately 500) or low receptor expression (approximately 100 fmol mg protein(-1)) were determined by saturation binding with [(125)I]-(-)-cyanopindolol. Competition binding studies showed no significant differences in affinity of beta-AR ligands for either receptor. 3. Several functional responses of each receptor were measured, namely extracellular acidification rate (EAR; cytosensor microphysiometer), cyclic AMP accumulation, and Erk1/2 phosphorylation. The beta(3)-AR agonists BRL37344, CL316243, GR265162X, L755507, SB251023, the non-conventional partial beta-AR agonist CGP12177 and the beta-AR agonist (-)-isoprenaline caused concentration-dependent increases in EAR in cells expressing either splice variant. CL316243 caused concentration-dependent increases in cyclic AMP accumulation and Erk1/2 phosphorylation in cells expressing either receptor. 4. PTX treatment increased maximum EAR and cyclic AMP responses to CL316243 in cells expressing the beta(3b)-AR but not in cells expressing the beta(3a)-AR at all levels of receptor expression. 5. CL316243 increased Erk1/2 phosphorylation with pEC(50) values and maximum responses that were not significantly different in cells expressing either splice variant. Erk1/2 phosphorylation was insensitive to PTX or H89 (PKA inhibitor) but was inhibited by LY294002 (PI3K gamma inhibitor), PP2 (c-Src inhibitor), genistein (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and PD98059 (MEK inhibitor). 6. The adenylate cyclase activators forskolin or cholera toxin failed to increase Erk1/2 levels although both treatments markedly increased cyclic AMP accumulation in both beta(3a)- or beta(3b)-AR transfected cells. 7. These results suggest that in CHO-K1 cells, the beta(3b)-AR, can couple to both G(s) and G(i) to stimulate and inhibit cyclic AMP production respectively, while the beta(3a)-AR, couples solely to G(s) to increase cyclic AMP levels. However, the increase in Erk1/2 phosphorylation following receptor activation is not dependent upon coupling of the receptors to G(i) or the generation of cyclic AMP.  (+info)

Physiological antagonism between ventricular beta 1-adrenoceptors and alpha 1-adrenoceptors but no evidence for beta 2- and beta 3-adrenoceptor function in murine heart. (5/33)

1. Murine left atrium lacks inotropic beta(2)-adrenoceptor function. We investigated whether beta(2)-adrenoceptors are involved in the cardiostimulant effects of (-)-adrenaline on spontaneously beating right atria and paced right ventricular myocardium of C57BL6 mice. We also studied a negative inotropic effect of (-)-adrenaline. 2. Sinoatrial tachycardia, evoked by (-)-adrenaline was resistant to blockade by beta(2)-selective ICI 118,551 (50 nM) but antagonized by beta(1)-selective CGP 20712A (300 nM). This pattern was unaffected by pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX, 600 microg kg(-1) i.p. 24 h) which reversed carbachol-evoked bradycardia to tachycardia. 3. Increases of ventricular force by (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline were not blocked by ICI 118,551 but antagonized by CGP 20712A. 4. Under blockade of beta-adrenoceptors, (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline depressed ventricular force (-logIC(50)M=7.7 and 6.9). The cardiodepressant effects of (-)-adrenaline were antagonized by phentolamine (1 microM) and prazosin (1 microM) but not by (-)-bupranolol (1 microM). Prazosin potentiated the positive inotropic effects of (-)-adrenaline (in the absence of beta-blockers) from -logEC(50)M=6.2 - 6.8. 5. PTX-treatment reduced carbachol-evoked depression of ventricular force in the presence of high catecholamine concentrations. Inhibition of ventricular function of G(i) protein was verified by 82% reduction of in vitro ADP-ribosylation. PTX-treatment tended to increase the positive inotropic potency of (-)-adrenaline under all conditions investigated, including the presence of ICI 118,551. 6. (-)-Adrenaline causes murine cardiostimulation through beta(1)-adrenoceptors but not through beta(2)-adrenoceptors. The negative inotropic effects of (-)-adrenaline are mediated through ventricular alpha(1)-adrenoceptors but not through beta(3)-adrenoceptors. Both G(i) protein and alpha(1)-adrenoceptors restrain (-)-adrenaline-evoked increases in right ventricular force mediated through beta(1)-adrenoceptors.  (+info)

Evidence against beta 3-adrenoceptors or low affinity state of beta 1-adrenoceptors mediating relaxation in rat isolated aorta. (6/33)

1 The presence of beta(3)-adrenoceptors and the low affinity state of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor (formerly "putative beta(4)-adrenoceptor") was investigated in ring preparations of rat isolated aorta preconstricted with phenylephrine or prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)). Relaxant responses to isoprenaline, selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonists (BRL 37344, SR 58611A, CL 316243) and non-conventional partial agonists (CGP 12177A, cyanopindolol, pindolol) were obtained. 2 In phenylephrine-constricted, but not PGF(2alpha)-constricted rings, relaxations to isoprenaline showed a propranolol-resistant component. 3 In phenylephrine-constricted rings, relaxations to BRL 37344 (pEC(50), 4.64) and SR 58611A (pEC(50), 4.94) were not antagonized by the selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor antagonist SR 59230A (< or =1 microM). CL 316243 (< or =100 microM) failed to produce relaxation. In PGF(2alpha)-constricted rings only SR 58611A produced relaxation, which was not affected by SR 59230A (< or =3 microM). 4 Non-conventional partial agonists produced relaxation in phenylephrine-constricted but not PGF(2alpha)-constricted rings. The relaxation to CGP 12177A was unaffected by SR 59230A (< or =1 microM) or by CGP 20712A (10 microM), reported to block the low affinity state of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor. 5 beta-adrenoceptor antagonists also produced relaxation in phenylephrine-constricted rings with an order of potency of (pEC(50) values): bupranolol (5.5) approximately 38;SR 59230A (5.47) approximately 38;cyanopindolol (5.47)>pindolol (5.30)>alprenolol (5.10)>propranolol (4.83)>ICI 118551 (4.60)>CGP 12177A (4.38) approximately 38;CGP 20712A (4.35). Bupranolol (100 microM), alprenolol (30 microM), propranolol (100 microM) and SR 59230A (10 microM) produced no relaxation in PGF(2alpha)-constricted rings. 6 These results provide no evidence for the presence of functional beta(3)-adrenoceptors or the low affinity state of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor in rat aorta.  (+info)

Role of nitric oxide in beta3-adrenoceptor activation on basal tone of internal anal sphincter. (7/33)

Effects of activation of beta3-adrenoceptor (beta3-AR) have not been determined in the spontaneously tonic smooth muscle of the internal anal sphincter (IAS). The effects of disodium (R,R)-5-[2-[2-3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-amino]propyl]-1,3-benzodioxole-2,2- dicarboxylate (CL 316243), a selective beta3-AR agonist, on the basal smooth muscle tone and direct release of nitric oxide (NO) by circular smooth muscle strips of the opossum IAS were determined. We also examined the presence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein by Western blot studies. CL 316243 produced a concentration-dependent relaxation of the smooth muscle that remained unmodified by different neurohumoral antagonists. The smooth muscle relaxation by CL 316243 was selectively antagonized by L 748337, a beta3-AR antagonist. Such relaxation was several times longer than by isoproterenol. The effect of CL 316243 was significantly attenuated by a nonselective NOS inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine (l-NNA) and by putative inhibitor of eNOS l-N5-(1-iminoethyl)-ornithine dihydrochloride (l-NIO). Inhibitors of iNOS [N-(3-aminomethyl)benzyl acetamide 2HCl] and nNOS [1-[2-(trifluoromethylphenyl)imidazole]] had no effect on this relaxation. Relaxation of the IAS smooth muscle induced by CL 316243 was accompanied by an increased release of NO; this was attenuated by l-NNA and l-NIO. In addition, Western blot studies revealed the presence of eNOS in the circular smooth muscle of the IAS. These data demonstrate potent and protracted IAS smooth muscle relaxation by beta3-AR activation, which is partly transduced via NOS, possibly smooth muscle eNOS. Multiple signal-transduction pathways including NOS activation may explain the characteristic IAS relaxation by beta3-AR activation. The studies may have therapeutic implications in anorectal motility disorders.  (+info)

White adipose tissue contributes to UCP1-independent thermogenesis. (8/33)

Beta3-adrenergic receptors (AR) are nearly exclusively expressed in brown and white adipose tissues, and chronic activation of these receptors by selective agonists has profound anti-diabetes and anti-obesity effects. This study examined metabolic responses to acute and chronic beta3-AR activation in wild-type C57Bl/6 mice and congenic mice lacking functional uncoupling protein (UCP)1, the molecular effector of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Acute activation of beta3-AR doubled metabolic rate in wild-type mice and sharply elevated body temperature and BAT blood flow, as determined by laser Doppler flowmetry. In contrast, beta3-AR activation did not increase BAT blood flow in mice lacking UCP1 (UCP1 KO). Nonetheless, beta3-AR activation significantly increased metabolic rate and body temperature in UCP1 KO mice, demonstrating the presence of UCP1-independent thermogenesis. Daily treatment with the beta3-AR agonist CL-316243 (CL) for 6 days increased basal and CL-induced thermogenesis compared with naive mice. This expansion of basal and CL-induced metabolic rate did not require UCP1 expression. Chronic CL treatment of UCP1 KO mice increased basal and CL-stimulated metabolic rate of epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) fourfold but did not alter BAT thermogenesis. After chronic CL treatment, CL-stimulated thermogenesis of EWAT equaled that of interscapular BAT per tissue mass. The elevation of EWAT metabolism was accompanied by mitochondrial biogenesis and the induction of genes involved in lipid oxidation. These observations indicate that chronic beta3-AR activation induces metabolic adaptation in WAT that contributes to beta3-AR-mediated thermogenesis. This adaptation involves lipid oxidation in situ and does not require UCP1 expression.  (+info)

The P2X₇ receptor is an ATP-gated cation channel expressed by a number of cell types, including osteoblasts. Genetically modified mice with loss of P2X₇ function exhibit altered bone formation. Moreover, activation of P2X₇ in vitro stimulates osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Because osteogenesis is associated with enhanced cellular metabolism, our goal was to characterize the effects of nucleotides on metabolic acid production (proton efflux) by osteoblasts. The P2X₇ agonist 2,3-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)ATP (BzATP; 300 μM) induced dynamic membrane blebbing in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells (consistent with activation of P2X₇ receptors) but did not induce cell death. Using a Cytosensor microphysiometer, we found that 9-min exposure to BzATP (300 μM) caused a dramatic increase in proton efflux from MC3T3-E1 cells (∼2-fold), which was sustained for at least 1 h. In contrast, ATP or UTP (100 μM), which activate P2 receptors
Harnessing the potential of cells as complex biosensors promises the potential to create sensitive and selective detectors for discrimination of biodefense agents. Here we present toxin detection and suggest discrimination using cells in a multianalyte microphysiometer (MMP) that is capable of simultaneously measuring flux changes in four extracellular analytes (acidification rate, glucose uptake, oxygen uptake, and lactate production) in real-time. Differential short-term cellular responses were observed between botulinum neurotoxin A and ricin toxin with neuroblastoma cells, alamethicin and anthrax protective antigen with RAW macrophages, and cholera toxin, muscarine, 2,4-dinitro-phenol, and NaF with CHO cells. These results and the post exposure dynamics and metabolic recovery observed in each case suggest the usefulness of cell-based detectors to discriminate between specific analytes and classes of compounds in a complex matrix, and furthermore to make metabolic inferences on the cellular effects
The goal of this work is development of a fast and repeatable optical assay that uses a novel combination of fluorophores and endogenous contrast to report on the metabolic phenotype of cancers in vivo. The proportions of ATP generated by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation relate to inherent tumor behaviors that affect treatment response. The need for instruments measuring metabolic endpoints is demonstrated by the widespread use of Seahorse extracellular flux analyzers in cancer research. The assays provide valuable insight into two primary arms of cellular metabolism by reporting on extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) related to glycolysis and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) related to mitochondrial respiration [1]. The ratio OCR/ECAR obtained by Seahorse was used to compare a panel of breast cancer cell lines and show that basal subtypes were often highly glycolytic, which suggested better therapeutic outcome [2]. While the Seahorse is an excellent research tool, the technique ...

Volume-specific proton flux is measured in a closed system as the time derivative of proton concentration, expressed in units [pmol·s-1·mL-1]. Proton flux can be measured in an open system at steady state, when any acidification of the medium is compensated by external supply of an equivalent amount of base. The extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) is the change of pH in the incubation medium over time, which is zero at steady state. Volume-specific proton flux is comparable to volume-specific oxygen flux [pmol·s-1·mL-1], which is the (negative) time derivative of oxygen concentration measured in a closed system, corrected for instrumental and chemical background. pH is the negative logarithm of proton activity. Therefore, ECAR is of interest in relation to acidification issues in the incubation buffer or culture medium. The physiologically relevant metabolic proton flux, however, must not be confused with ECAR ...

Raman College of Engineering, Bhubaneswar, Odisha- 752054, Department of Chemical Engineering, C.V. Raman College of Engineering, Bhubaneswar, Odisha- 752054. Keywords:Desulfurization, fuel, biofuel, non-conventional processes, aromatics, microfibrous material.. Abstract:Sulphur compounds in fuel cause major environmental pollution. Hence, the desulphurization of fuel has become a tremendous concern. Aside from the standard hydrodesulphurization method, many new processes have gained attention. Our present work discusses varied non-conventional desulphurization techniques likeaerobic desulphurization, adsorbent desulphurization, membrane desulphurization, extractive desulphurization, etc. These strategies in conjunction with their pros and cons are mentioned well.. ...

Y1 - 2020/11/23. N2 - Endothelial cells appear to emerge from diverse progenitors. However, to which extent their developmental origin contributes to define their cellular and molecular characteristics remains largely unknown. Here, we report that a subset of endothelial cells that emerge from the tailbud possess unique molecular characteristics that set them apart from stereotypical lateral plate mesoderm (LPM)-derived endothelial cells. Lineage tracing shows that these tailbud-derived endothelial cells arise at mid-somitogenesis stages, and surprisingly do not require Npas4l or Etsrp function, indicating that ...

N2 - Radiotherapy is a standard treatment option for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Although it has high therapeutic efficacy, some proportion of the tumor cells that survive after radiotherapy may cause side effects. In this study, we found that fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1), a rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis, was downregulated upon treatment with ionizing radiation (IR). Ets1, which was found to be overexpressed in IR-induced infiltrating GBM, was suggested to be a transcriptional repressor of FBP1. Furthermore, glucose uptake and extracellular acidification rates were increased upon FBP1 downregulation, which indicated an elevated glycolysis ...

The main subject is the equilibrium and the evolution of 2D and 3D dry soap-like |br /|foams. A star-triangle equivalence is proved using geometrical methods and |br /|invariance by inversion transformations. This equivalence states that triangular bubbles can be freely exchanged with threefold stars without perturbing the overall equilibrium; a star is a set of three edges ending at a central vertex. Considering an equilibrated foam in contact with a solid, curved and smooth, surface and considering the trace of the films on the surface as a non-conventional 2D foam, the equilibrium equations are established for this 2D foam, generalising the standard case of flat Hele-Shaw cells. The invariance of the vertex equilibrium conditions by conformal transformations is proved. As an application, the configurations of foams in thin interstices between two non parallel plates is analysed in details. Normal incidence and Laplaces law lead to an approximate equation relating the plate profile to a conformal map

Upon liver injury, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) transdifferentiate to migratory, proliferative and extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts (e.g., activated HSCs; aHSCs) causing liver fibrosis. HSC activation is associated with increased glycolysis and glutaminolysis. Here, we compared the contribution of glycolysis, glutaminolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in rat and human HSC activation. Basal levels of glycolysis (extracellular acidification rate ~3-fold higher) and particularly mitochondrial respiration (oxygen consumption rate ~5-fold higher) were significantly increased in rat aHSCs, when compared to quiescent rat HSC. This was accompanied by extensive mitochondrial fusion in rat and human aHSCs, which occurred without increasing mitochondrial DNA content and electron transport chain (ETC) components. Inhibition of glycolysis (by 2-deoxy-D-glucose) and glutaminolysis (by CB-839) did not inhibit rat aHSC proliferation, but did reduce Acta2 (encoding α-SMA) ...

Its unfair that you decided to single out for a reason Edwin Casimero. He is a staunch supporter of that school of thought according to which the causes of most of the ailments that befell us are linked with the defectuous way in which most of us nourish ourselves. Hence his plea for raw, fruitarianism etc. You could not have failed to notice that he is a staunch enemy of junk food. The truth is that most what Casimero claims makes sense... True, his is an intuitionist, non-conventional approach that spits in the face of the establishment. But sooner or later, most of his daring theories prove to be right. I am not sure that cancer is a fungus (as he claims), perhaps it is up to a certain point, yet according to a recent New Scientist article, Alzheimer is a form of diabetes caused by the flawed way we feed ourselves (well, at least most of us) too much sugar and carbs, gluten and bad quality highly processed saturated oils ...

Thiamine-dependent enzymes (TDEs) control metabolic pathways that are frequently altered in cancer and therefore present cancer-relevant targets. We have previously shown that the recombinant enzyme thiaminase cleaves and depletes intracellular thiamine, has growth inhibitory activity against leukemia and breast cancer cell lines, and that its growth inhibitory effects were reversed in leukemia cell lines by rapamycin. Now, we first show further evidence of thiaminase therapeutic potential by demonstrating its activity against breast and leukemia xenografts, and against a primary leukemia xenograft. We therefore further explored the metabolic effects of thiaminase in combination with rapamycin in leukemia and breast cell lines. Thiaminase decreased oxygen consumption rate and increased extracellular acidification rate, consistent with the inhibitory effect of acute thiamine depletion on the activity of the TDEs pyruvate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes; these effects were
I obtained my PhD on Fluids Thermodynamics Engineering in 2012, at the TERMOCAL research group (Universidad de Valladolid). During this period I worked on the experimental determination of the density of non-conventional fuel gas mixtures by using a single sinker densimeter with magnetic coupling. These experimental results were important for the further development of the current equation of state for natural gas, in order to introduce the use of biogas and other non-conventional fuel gases. I also had the opportunity to develop part of my work at two top research institutes: the Lehrstuhl für Thermodynamik, at Ruhr Universität Bochum (Germany), where I carried out measurements of the sorption of gases in polyols and MOF samples by using a gravimetric sorption analyzer; and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder (USA), where I characterized the thermodynamic behavior of a new fluid for use in refrigeration and organic Rankine cycles. In addition, during my PhD, I ...
Non Conventional Aquatint V:. Date: May 4, 2017. Temperature: 71 F. Humidity: moderate. Researchers: Claire Crews and Sam Guerin. How does Neutralizer sprayed onto aquatinted plate effect the aquatint medium?. For this experiment we sprayed aquatint medium to cover the entire plate (sprayed for 3 minutes at a distance of 18″ with the nozzle open 2 turns), then immediately sprayed an area with neutralizer at 6″ for 3 seconds. Neutralizer caused aquatint medium to move to edges of sprayed area and drip to bottom of plate, creating some stopped out areas and some stippled areas.. Even coverage of aquatint medium on plate:. ...
One unique example of RNA processing is non-conventional splicing of RNAs, which is an essential step during transfer RNA (tRNA) maturation. tRNAs are transcribed as precursor transcripts (pre-tRNA) and are subjected to multiple posttranscriptional processing events before they can fulfil their function. Intron-containing pre-tRNAs undergo non-conventional splicing-a cytosolic, enzyme-catalysed processing reaction. The splicing of pre-tRNAs occurs in two steps: The intron is first excised by a splicing endonuclease and the resulting tRNA exon halves are ligated by tRNA ligase to form a fully matured functional tRNA. Because eukaryotic tRNA introns disrupt the anticodon stem-loop structure, the removal of these introns is an essential process ...

U.S. Special Forces manuals, like Training Circular 18-01, define seven different stages of non-conventional war.

It is no secret that over the past two months, Goldman has commenced a full endorsement of Nominal GDP targetting as a method to stimulate the economy, not to mention Wall Streets bonus pool, after Ben Bernanke completely ignored Hatzius advice to reduce the Interest on Overnight Excess Reserve rate as well as subsequent pleading for a start of MBS LSAP. Mathematics once again aside, and as we demonstrated, the math works out to an non-trivial incremental $10 trillion in debt through 2016 on top of what will be issued, to catch up with the GDP growth run rate and to eliminate the excess slack in the economy, the question is whether NGDP would achieve any tangible stimulus at all, or merely reduce the Feds ever smaller arsenal of non-conventional means to boost the economy by one more approach. The attached rhetorical Q&A just released by Goldman seeks to answer that and any other left over questions one may have on NGDP as a policy measure, and further puts out the inverse strawman argument that it

The point is that the practice of medicine, whether conventional or non-conventional is always dependent upon the context of the culture within which it is practiced. That means that each culture has criteria upon which it decides whether something is effective or not effective. And there are no 100 per cent reliable criteria to determine whether one particular treatment will benefit each individual who undertakes it. At the moment, the litmus test for medicine in the west, is a scientific trial. However these trials are unreliable. I have friend with MS who has been presribed a cocktail of drugs, all of which are useless. When researching the efficacy of these drugs I discovered none of them had been trialed by the drug companies on unhealthy frail individuals taking many other prescription drugs, the very people they would be presribed to.
