“…If this mythological complex has an origin related to the Mesopotamian myths of Ishtar / Inanna-which could be supported given that Ruḍ aw has a "Chaldean" center/origin-then, following Knauf, it is possible to view Ruḍ aw as a lunar deity, the equivalent of Nanna / Sîn. 52 If this is correct, then it may lend further support for the reconstruction of an ancient Arabian astral myth, pairing the Moon and Venus. In Mesopotamia, and perhaps in North Arabia, the relationship was that of Father and Daughter, while in Ancient South Arabia, ʿAt̲ tar was the progenitor of the moon god.…”

This contribution proposes an interpretation of a newly attested divine title of the ancient Arabian deity Ruḍaw, mkśd ‘(the one) from Chaldea’. It explores what sense this title could have had and its implications on our understanding of Ruḍaw's position in the ancient Arabian pantheon, especially in relation to Allāt. It also examines mentions of Ruḍaw in Islamic-period narrative sources and concludes that his cult likely disappeared by Islamic times; tales of the destruction of his cult site reflect the use of the ‘smashing idols’ topos to narrativize the passage from pre-Islam to Islam.

“…Niflumic acid not only inhibits the interaction of DIDS with AE proteins but also blocks C1-flux through AE1 antiports [25,26]. Because niflumic acid did not stimulate proliferation, a blockade of anion flux does not appear sufficient for mitogenicity.…”

“…Stilbene disulfonates specifically interact with AE proteins at sites that competitively block anion flux [22-241. This study shows that these compounds stimulate B cell proliferation by interacting with surface receptors that are pharmacologically related to AE proteins on lymphocytes. For example, niflumic acid is a noncompetitive antagonist which specifically blocks binding of the stilbene disulfonate analog 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) to AE proteins [25,26] Stilbene disulfonic derivatives used as AE inhibitors were DIDS (Aldrich Chemical Co. Inc., Milwaukee, WI), 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS; Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DNDS; Aldrich), and 4,4'diazidostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DAzDA; Fluka Chemical Corp., Ronkonkoma, NY). Niflumic acid (Sigma) was used as a specific inhibitor of DIDS.…”

An alternative pathway of B cell activation: stilbene disulfonates interact with a Cl⁻ binding motif on AEn‐related proteins to stimulate mitogenesis

Stilbene disulfonates are known to competitively inhibit Cl-/HCO3- flux through Band 3-related anion exchange (AE) proteins. To study the role of AE in lymphocyte activation, stilbene disulfonates were added to cultures of rat splenocytes (SPL). Four different stilbene derivatives were tested and each directly stimulated mitogenic proliferative responses of SPL. The mitogenic activity of these analogs paralleled their known patterns of interaction with Band 3-related AE proteins, as measured by; (a) their effective mitogenic concentrations, (b) their rank order of mitogenic potency [DIDS greater than SITS greater than DNDS congruent to DAzDS], (c) their patterns of nonreversible binding to the mitogenic receptor [DIDS much greater than SITS, DNDS], and (d) the specific, noncompetitive inhibition of their activity by the antagonist niflumic acid. Stilbene disulfonates directly activated purified B cell populations but not isolated T cells and furthermore, acted in synergy with anti-IgM to stimulate proliferation of SPL. These findings show that stilbene disulfonates represent a novel class of mitogens that interact with AEn-related proteins to stimulate an alternative activation pathway in B cells. These studies also indicate that immunomodulating activities of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as niflumic acid may be mediated, in part, by their interactions with AEn-related proteins.

This paper presents two basic methods for the assessment of failed girth welds of steel hydrocarbon transporting pipelines. One of them is based on the principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and stress intensity factor conception for planar material discontinuities, and the other can be used for the complex assessment of all kinds of occurring defects. The results of the presented methods are compared to the results of burst test of pipeline sections containing a failed girth weld and cut from a Hungarian gas pipeline.
