Dickey et al. (403) reported a list of tau-reducing compounds identified from an initial in-cell Western screening assay. Drugs resulting in more than 25% reductions in tan levels with less than 10% reductions in GAPDH include aggregation inhibitors (diazaquone, methylene blue) antibiotics (alexidine HCl) antiproliferatives (colchicine, albendazole, chelidonine, rotenone) and steroids (norethindrone) (403).

From currently available data, one adult patient (1/170) challenged with oats was reported to have a severe adverse reaction to oats. Approximately 6% of adults and 9% of children withdrew from clinical trials due to reported adverse effects from the inclusion of oats in their diet. This evidence, along with the indication from some in vitro studies of an immunological response to avenin in the absence of clinical manifestations of celiac disease and the limitations of the database (previously discussed), supports a cautionary approach for the introduction of oats into a gluten-free diet until the prevalence of oats intolerance among people with celiac disease is well established (Dickey, 2008 Garsed and Scott, 2007). 

The first experimental application of this concept was reported in the seminal work of Dickey, who, in 1949, stated that silica, adsorbed with methyl orange, showed preferential absorption properties towards the same structure. Dickey, hypothesising the mechanism with which the specific adsorption was generated, invoked Pauling s antibody formation theory This mechanism is the same as that proposed by Pauling for the formation of antibodies with use of antigen molecules as a template. [4],... 

There was some criticism of our work — contradictory results reported by another investigator. I felt satisfied with what we had done, and did not go to the trouble of carrying out more studies, except that I got a senior student, Frank Dickey, to carry out the study with hydrated silica—precipitated silicic acid polymer. [22]... 

At a lecture delivered in Philadelphia s Franklin Institute on March 17, 1949, Pauling reported some of the results from Dickey s experiments [23]. Silica gels had been prepared by procedures analogous to the formation of antibodies , i.e. in accordance with the selective theory, and the study was published later the same year [24]. The method described involved polymerisation of sodium silicate in the presence of a dye. Four different dyes were used, namely methyl, ethyl, /i-propyl and -butyl orange (Fig. 1.3). As much as possible of the dye was subsequently removed, and in rebinding experiments it was found that silica prepared in the presence of any of these pattern moleeules would bind the pattern molecule in preference to the other three dyes. Table 1.2 shows the selective increase in pattern dye sorption capacities of the gels as related to a control gel, prepared in the absence of dye. 

In 1959, a Canadian research group led by Morrison challenged the footprint theory [32]. This work was, also a re-examination of Dickey s system. Although their results concurred with those reported by Dickey [30], they noted that the...

Progress Report of the Special Committee on Pollution Abatement, pp. 32—40. The similarities between the provisions criticized by Ostertag and those that hobbled enforcement of California s water pollution controls under the Dickey Act are so striking that one wonders whether Dickey, aided by industry s systematic exchange of information among states, drew a perverse inspiration from the 1947 New York report. 

The imprint hypothesis of specific adsorption suggests that compounds which are structurally related to the specific compound will also show enhanced adsorption on a specific adsorbent (relative to the normal adsorbent). Numerous experimental data have been reported [e.g.. Refs. (110,111,113,123-127)] which amply confirm this prediction. Almost invariably, a specific adsorbent will show increased adsorption for all compounds even remotely similar to the specific compound. Presumably, the more closely such compounds resemble the specific compound, the greater their adsorption on the specific adsorbent. Dickey (113) has confirmed this for the various orange dyes adsorbents specific for one alkyl orange dye show greater specificity for adjacent homologs than for... 

Whereas the analytical part of the determination of biocides in dust displays only minor differences, samples referred to as household dust vary significantly. So far, no standard protocol for dust sampling has been reported. In the United States a High Volume Small Surface Sampler (HVS3) collecting dust samples of 2-100 g from carpets and bare floors in about 15 min has been developed (Roberts and Dickey, 1995). In Germany, predominantly dust samples from vacuum cleaner bags collected by commercial vacuum cleaners are used for evaluation of biocides in some cases samples were analyzed in passively deposited suspended particulate (PDSP) (Krause et al.. 

TSH levels are increased (overt hypothyroidism). Some authors reported that individuals with TSH values in the upper half of the reference range had a higher mean serum cholesterol level than those with low-normal TSH levels (Michalopoulou et al., 1998). Accordingly, some authorities (National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry) have proposed to lower the upper limit for TSH levels to 2.5mU/l (Baloch et ai, 2003 Wartofsky and Dickey, 2005). This criterion has been criticized because it would result in an overdiagnosis of subciinicai hypothyroidism and an increase in the number of patients on unnecessary replacement therapy (Surks et al., 2005 Dlez et al., 2005). 

A number of low-viscosity materials have been studied and exploited for fast EHD patterning, aiming to resolve the above intrinsic problems [31]. Different from the previously used polymers, the chosen materials had both a thermally accessible Tg as well as low viscosities upon softening, which resulted in a considerable reduction of the completion of the EHL to a few seconds only rather than hours, thus increasing the technological appeal of this technique. Low-viscosity epoxy materials were also studied by Dickey et al., who reported...
