Komarov, Simon

Different metals, like Al, Ag, Au, Ni, Cu, and Pd, metal alloys, and conducting polymers are reported to have been used as the contact materials to porous silicon. But only a very few reports are available on Al (Zimin et al. 1995 Zimin and Komarov 1998 Simons et al. 1995 Kanungo... 

In 1932, after Babkin had settled at McGill he and Simon Komarov published the first systematic study of the inhibition of pepsin by mucus. They used 5 or 10 ml of samples of gastric juice from dogs with gastric fistulas and esophagostomies. 

Juice secreted during sham feeding has a high concentration of acid and pepsin, and in 1949 Babkin s pupil Simon Komarov showed that it contains soluble mucin as well (Fig. 4-3)." ...

Marks and Card then applied their method of estimating parietal cell mass to 17 patients with duodenal ulceration, chronic gastric ulceration, or carcinoma of the stomach whose stomachs had been removed at surgery. They were able to establish that the maximal acid output correlated with the parietal cell mass using quadratic-equation analysis. Thereafter, AAarks, working with Simon Komarov and Harry Shay at the Pels Research Institute of the Temple University of Philadelphia, was able to correlate the maximal secretory response of dogs to the estimated total parietal cell mass of each stomach. 

Simon Komarov had spent 3 years (1910-1913) in Pavlov s St. Petersburg laboratory. During this time, he had met with Babkin, who had come from the United States to work with Pavlov. When Babkin became the Professor of Physiology at McGill University in 1930, he hired Komarov as his research assistant to work on the organic constituents of gastric secretion, particularly mucus. It was at Babkin s instigation and with his support that Komarov undertook the series of studies that allowed him to finally identify and isolate...
