Gene induction during differentiation of human monocytes into dendritic cells: an integrated study at the RNA and protein levels [PDF]
, 2001 Changes in gene expression occurring during differentiation of human monocytes into dendritic cells were studied at the RNA and protein levels. These studies showed the induction of several gene classes corresponding to various biological functions ...

Bradykinin is not involved in angiotensin converting enzyme modulation of ovarian steroidogenesis and prostaglandin production in frog Rana esculenta [PDF]
, 2002 Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was demonstrated to modulate the production of 17beta-estradiol, progesterone and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in frog ovary of Rana esculenta. However, the activity was not mediated by angiotensin II (Ang II).

The BM@N spectrometer at the NICA accelerator complex [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) is the first experiment operating and taking data at the Nuclotron/NICA ion-accelerating complex.The aim of the BM@N experiment is to study interactions of relativistic heavy-ion beams with fixed targets. We present a technical description of the BM@N spectrometer including all its subsystems.

Faithful flatness of Hopf algebras over coideal subalgebras with a conditional expectation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra and let $A\subset H$ be a right coideal subalgebra. We show that if $A$ is a direct summand in $H$ as a right $A$-module, then $H$ is faithfully flat as a right $A$-module.

Conditions for the difference set of a central Cantor set to be a Cantorval. Part II [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Let C(a) be the central Cantor set generated by a sequence a with terms in (0,1). It is known that the difference set C(a)-C(a) of C(a) can has one of three possible forms: a finite union of closed intervals, a Cantor set, or a Cantorval. In the previous paper there was proved a sufficient condition for the sequence a which implies that C(a) - C(a) is ...
