Poisons of war
My father, a Vietnam veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, took his life in November 1976, when I was only a year old. The nature of his death kept the details of his life, his illness, and his suicide hidden in grief and shame for many years. My mother’s secondary PTSD kept her …

CDC45 Function Alters Cell Sensitivity to DNA Topoisomerase I Poisons
<p>Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) is a highly conserved enzyme that functions to manage the torsional strain of DNA during cellular processes such as transcription, replication, chromatid condensation and recombination. The enzyme binds duplex DNA and through a series of strand cleavage and …

The acceptability and palatability of certain feeds, diluents, and poisons to pitymys, microtus, and peromyscus
… agents, which could be used in applying poisons, were tested for their acceptability to orchard mice. No diluent seemed to enhance, nor materially lessen, the taking of baits. Various poisons were applied in different manners to several acceptable baits and fed to the mice to observe …

The use of scintigraphy to study gastric emptying, motility and small intestinal transit in patients who have ingested a selection of common poisons
… the small intestine the rates at which ingested poisons pass into and through the small bowel are important factors in determining the amount of poison potentially available for absorption. Although the effects of pharmacological doses of many drugs on gastric emptying and motility are known, …

A study of active sites on fibrillar alumina catalysts
… of the catalytic activity with chemical poisons that selectively deactivate only one type of site is the technique that was used to discriminate among the various sites. CC2 selectively poisons the deuterium exchange sites, and titration curves indicate that 6 x 1 12 molecules/cm2 is the …

Identification and Characterization of Modulators of Chemotherapeutic Response in Mouse Models of Cancer
… of the cellular response to microtubule poisons. Importantly, I went on to demonstrate that this effect on microtubule poisons was attributable, in part, to Nek4 regulation of microtubule function. In addition to screening-based approaches, I also show that targeted shRNA-mediated …

OPTIMIZING GENE THERAPY: THE IMPACT OF SMALL MOLECULE MODULATORS ON ADENO-ASSOCIATED VECTOR TRANSDUCTION AND INTEGRATION
… First, we evaluate the function of topoisomerase poisons, which are small molecules that stabilize topoisomerase complexes and DNA breaks. Second, we target SUMOylation. To date, small molecule inhibitors of SUMOylation have not been evaluated for AAV modulation, so we characterize the SUMOylation …

Catalytic Reforming of Biogas for Syngas Production
… chlorocarbons that are potential catalyst poisons. Chlorocarbons are unique to biogas and bio-derived fuels due to the natural presence of chlorinated compounds in organic material that are released during decomposition or thermal treatment. Despite their presence in biogas in 10-50ppm …

The development of an ancillary textile industry waste treatment process
… has a high pH and COD; contains metallic poisons; and is highly coloured. It exceeds the limitations for effluent quality promulgated by the Cape Town Municipality before discharge to the sewers. A certain measure of pretreatment before discharge to the sewers was therefore required. The …

Characterization and Reactivity of Mo₂C
… conditions, and the effect of sulfur and oxygen poisons on cumene hydrogenation was also investigated. As a complement to the work done on polycrystalline β-Mo₂C, UHV studies of single crystal α-Mo₂C were undertaken to provide fundamental information about a well-characterized Mo₂C surface. The …

Oxygen reduction electrocatalysis
… presence of several anions and small-molecule poisons, including fluoride, azide, thiocyanate, ethanethiol, and cyanide. CuDAT is poisoned in a manner consistent with a copper-based active site. Although FePc and pyrolyzed FePc are remarkably resilient to most poisons they are poisoned by …

Efficiency of Two Black-tailed Prairie Dog Rodenticides and Their Impacts on Non-target Bird Species
… of birds were observed. Immediate impacts with poisons reduced horned lark relative densities 66% with strychnine only and 45% with prebaited strychnine. No measurable reduction was found with zinc phosphide. No direct long-term impacts on horned larks were found. Indirect impacts occurred on …

Efeito da hidrogenação catódica em ausência de tensão mecânica e durante ensaios de corrosão sob tensão em aços martensíticos
… tension, in a 1N H2 SO4 solution, free from poisons, to observe their tendency to crack. The "crack index" was larger for the AISI 4340 than for the AISI 8640 and at low applied current densities this difference was very marked. The values of the "index" for the AISI 8620 fell between those …

Effects of flow on the activity of a WO₃-SiO₂ olefin disproportionation catalyst
… included studies on the effects of temporary poisons on a fully broken-in tungsten oxide on silica catalyst. The dosing of carbon monoxide caused a temporary decrease in the catalyst activity. The activity returned to the level prior to the dosing in approximately 110 minutes. Trace amounts of …
