The sensitivity of hypocatalasemic C3H/C-s(b)/Gen mouse (C-s(b)), a mutant of the C3H/He mouse, for radiation tumorigenesis was studied following the irradiations of Cf-252 fission neutrons (Cf-252) and Co-60 gamma-rays (Co-60). Mice of both sexes at six weeks of age were irradiated once with Cf-252 and Co-60 at the doses of 0-200 cGy. As the control, C3H/HeN mice of both sexes (C3H) were also irradiated with Cf-252 and Co-60. The mice were observed for 13 months after irradiation. The incidence of liver tumors in male C-s(b) increased semilogarithmically from 1 to 50 cGy in the Cf-252-irradiated group. By Co-60 irradiation, the tumor incidence of male C-s(b) was highest at 6 cGy and then decreased with increasing radiation doses up to 200 cGy. In contrast, the incidence of liver tumors in male C3H steadily increased by 0-200 cGy of both Cf-252 and Co-60 irradiations. The glutathione peroxidase activity in the liver of the male was higher in C-s(b) than that in C3H although catalase activity in C-s(b) was lower than that in C3H. Significantly higher TBA value and lowered antioxidant activities were also observed in neoplastic liver foci in comparison with those of its adjacent liver in male C-s(b). Therefore, the implication of oxygen radicals in hepato-tumorigenesis was strongly suggested and high sensitivity of C-s(b) to low doses of radiation would be useful to investigate the mechanism of radiation tumorigenesis.

Determining and Evaluating Ideal Physics Teacher s Characteristics Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, 1999-01-01) The main purpose of this studyare; to investigate the characteristics of a prospective physics teacher, to evaluate attitudesof preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher, and to evaluate preservice physics teachers' qualifications. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, literature have been searched in detail. Then, a questionnaire was developed to measure preservice physics teachers qualifications and attimdes of preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher. The Que...
Reaction of pentacarbonyl(eta(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne)tungsten(0) with tricyclohexylphosphine: X-ray structure of pentacarbonyltricyclohexylphosphinetungsten(0) Demircan, O; Özkar, Saim; Ulku, D; Yildirim, LT (2003-12-15) The pentacarbonyl(?(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne)tungsten(0), W(CO)(5)(?(2)-btmse), reacts with tricyclohexylphosphine, PCy3, to yield two stable endproducts which could be isolated and fully characterized by using the single crystal X-ray diffractometry and the MS, IR, and NMR spectroscopy: W(CO)(5)(PCy3) and trans-W(CO)(4)(PCy3)(2). The former complex is the alkyne substitution product, while the latter one is formed from the conversion of its labile cis-isomer, which is generated by further reaction of t...
A new and stereospecific synthesis of an inositol analogue: bis-homoinositol Kara, Y; Balcı, Metin (2003-03-17) The photooxygenation of trans-8-(acetyloxy)bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-dien-7-yl acetate afforded the bicyclic endoperoxide. Reduction of the endoperoxide with thiourea followed by acetylation gave the corresponding tetraacetate. The KMnO4 oxidation of the tetraacetate followed by acetylation gave dihydroxytetraacetate Ammonolysis of tetraacetate afforded the bis-homoinositol, bicyclo[4.2.0]octane-2,3,4,5,7,8-hexol.
A queer product of the Beirut reaction with dimedone-AM1 analysis Türker, Burhan Lemi; Dura, E (2002-09-27) Dimedone reacted with benzofuraxane in the presence of Et3N. The expected products were quinoxaline derivatives but an unexpected compound was obtained in low yield. The structural identification of the product was done spectrally and a mechanism for its formation was proposed by the aid of AM l type semiempirical calculations.
Observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) The observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay is reported using proton-proton collision data collected at root s = 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 60fb(-1). The ratio of the branching fractions B(Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi)/B(Lambda(0)(b) > psi(2S)Lambda) is measured to be (8.26 +/- 0.90 (stat) +/- 0.68 (syst) +/- 0.11 (B)) x 10(-2), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last uncertaint...
