Aerosols are readily transported on airstreams through building sanitary plumbing and sewer systems, and those containing microbial pathogens (known as bioaerosols) are recognized as contributors to i…
Respiratory particle generation and dispersal during nasoendoscopy and swab testing is studied with high-speed video and laser light illumination. Video analysis reveals droplet formation in three man…
This study focuses on PRL, GH, beta-endorphin and cortisol in maternal blood and amniotic fluid during human pregnancy. Maternal blood and amniotic fluid samples were obtained from 18 normal pregnant …
Fullerene adlayers prepared by the simple Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method onto various well-defined single-crystal metal surfaces were investigated by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The su…
This paper characterizes starch and dietary fibre in the seeds of fine-size and large-size seed varieties of broad bean and in edible varieties of pea for comparison. The experimental material include…
To assess the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on the renal function, cardiovascular system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and vasopressin release, synthetic human ANP (alpha-hANP) …
Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theory were used to study the thermodynamics and structure of particles interacting through the smooth version of Stell-Hemmer interaction. We checked the…
In this work, we theoretically investigate the implications of streaming potential on the transport and size-based separation of charged solutes in nanoscale confinements. By employing a regular pertu…
Ionic liquid crystals combine the unique solvent properties of ionic liquids with self-organization found for liquid crystals. We report a detailed analysis of the structure-property relationship of a…
1. In the presence of antimycin and KCN the reduction of cytochrome b in phosphorylating submitochondrial particles followed a biphasic first-order kinetics. The transition from the first, rapid phase…
We analyze the problem of vesicle migration in haptotaxis (a motion directed by an adhesion gradient), though most of the reasoning applies to chemotaxis as well as to a variety of driving forces. A b…
Recently it has been observed that Ca excretion in laboratory rats does not follow a Gaussian distribution, with approximately 10% of them excreting Ca at a rate of 2 SD above the group mean. This phe…
We propose an optical apparatus enabling the measurement of spherical power, cylindrical power, and optical center coordinates of ophthalmic lenses. The main advantage of this new focimeter is to prov…
Measurements of total, filterable and DGT-labile concentrations of nine metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni and Zn) have been made at five sites up to 4.2km from a deep sea tailings outfall operate…
Most of the precursors and/or degradation products related to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are polar. Identification of these molecules in environmental samples provides clues regarding the a…
Grid evaluation for a screen-film x-ray system has typically included independent measurement of the opposing contrast improvement factor and Bucky factor. Neither of these metrics, however, is approp…
OBJECTIVE: To determine sympathetic and vascular responses to modest increases in plasma insulin level.BACKGROUND: Most studies of sympathetic and vascular actions of insulin have evaluated high plasm…
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is known for its natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilatory properties. However, ANP also has metabolic effects stimulating lipolysis and lipid oxidation. Overweight indi…
Conformational preferences have been surveyed for divalent metal cation complexes with the dipeptide ligands AlaPhe, PheAla, GlyHis, and HisGly. Density functional theory results for a full set of com…
The application of cavity-ionization chambers to the standadization of 60Co gamma-ray beams, in terms of exposure, requires that the specific ionization of air Jg, be corrected for the attenuation and…
