The Choice of Polar Stationary Phases for Gas-Liquid Chromatography by Statistical Analysis of Retention Data

We have studied the retention indices of 127 volatile substances on a C-78-paraffin and on its seven nearly isochor and isomorphous polar derivatives over a temperature range of 90-210 A degrees C. The retention index of a substance on the C-78 paraffin ha ...

Toxicity assessment of the main pesticides used in Costa Rica

Raphael Charles

The impacts of the 30 active substances, most used in Costa Rica (reference year 1998), are evaluated using two models originally developed to support comparative assertions in the context of the life cycle assessment: the multimedia fate, exposure and eff ...

A model for the involvement of neural cell adhesion molecules in stress-related mood disorders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

Critical interactions between genetic and environmental factors -- among which stress is one of the most potent non-genomic factors -- are involved in the development of mood disorders. Intensive work during the past decade has led to the proposal of the n ...

C/EBPbeta couples dopamine signalling to substance P precursor gene expression in striatal neurones

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-René Cardinaux

Dopamine-induced changes in striatal gene expression are thought to play an important role in drug addiction and compulsive behaviour. In this study we report that dopamine induces the expression of the transcription factor CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein b ...
