Preparation of specific antiserum against Rana esculenta pre-alpha lens crystallin.

Specific antiserum against Rana esculenta lens pre-alpha crystallin was prepared in a rabbit by injecting antigen-antibody precipitate of this crystallin obtained from immunoelectrophoresis of esculenta total soluble lens proteins against homologous antiserum.

Measurements on the electrical resistivity of thin nickel films

Résumé Dans une publication antérieure, nous avions signalé que le coefficient de température de la résistance électrique des films en nickel était négatif en dessous d'une certaine épaisseur critique (40 mµ). Au-dessus de 40 mµ, la courbe «Résistance en fonction de la température» présentait un minimum aux basses températures. A la suite de nouvelles expériences, nous avons constaté que ce phénomène est accompagné d'une déviation de la loi d'Ohm: la résistance diminue quand le courant de mesure augmente. Nous avons pu conclure que ces deux particularités ne sont qu'indirectement provoquées par la minceur des films. La cause principale est leur état de cristallisation imparfaite. En effet, après avoir subi un échauffement à 150° C pendant plusieurs heures, le coefficient de température négatif change de signe (le minimum disparaît) et la loi d'Ohm est respectée.

NATREX AND DETERMINATION OF REAL EXCHANGE RATE OF RMB

1 IntroductionIn the past decades, a lot of 1iteratures appeared in the determination of excfiange rate, boththeoretic and empirical. One preValing paradigm is that the puxchasing power parity (PPP)holds in the long run either in weak--fOrm or in strongform. Under this hyPothesis, fluctuationsin real exchange rates are often regaJrded as temporary deviations from the long--run equllibriumexchange rate. However, these ekisting models fail to eXPlain the 1arge fluctuations in the realexchang…     

Promises of Presence

My review of Ike Kamphof’s “Webcams to Save Nature: Online Space as Affective and Ethical Space” focuses on the question how the engagement of the spectator of the described websites is temporally structured and how the discrepancy between the instantaneity of affective response and the duration of moral engagement is solved. I propose to draw on Alexander Nehamas’ philosophy of beauty as an in-between, bringing affect and ethics closer together.     

Hemoglobin causes both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent contraction of the pig coronary arteries, independently of an inhibition of EDRF effects

Hemoglobin is widely used as an inhibitor of EDRF effects. Hemoglobin contracts pig coronary arteries in vitro. However, during this contraction, effects of substance P and bradykinin which act via the EDRF are not inhibited. This means that the hemoglobin contraction is not caused by inhibition of the EDRF. This contraction is caused by a substance released from the endothelium, and by eicosano?ds released from the smooth muscles.
