The electric field distribution is one of the main factors governing the long-term reliability of high voltage composite insulators. However, under severe pollution conditions, electric field stresses…
Silicon carbide (SiC) devices have shown substantial promise in realizing ultrahigh-voltage and high power, and have been usually considered as a potential candidate for high radiation levels applicat…
The humoral immune response to PC was measured in guinea pigs. PC-vaccine stimulated IgM and IgG2, but little IgG1, anti-PC -antibodies. No memory was induced and immunization in CFA produced toleranc…
Warm, continuous blood cardioplegia should theoretically maintain cardiac arrest for hours without ischaemic or hypothermic injury. In the absence of in vivo studies of myocardial metabolism and ultra…
Electrostatic phenomena are known to enhance both wind- and insect-mediated pollination, but have not yet been described for nectar-feeding vertebrates. Here we demonstrate that wild Anna's Hummingbir…
By optical imaging of intrinsic signals, we demonstrated a possible code for odor concentration in the anterior piriform cortex of the guinea-pig. Odor-induced cortical activation, which primarily ori…
BACKGROUND: Several intracranial pathologies present as a ring-enhancing lesion on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), creating diagnostic difficulty. We studied the characteristics of the …
Cardiovascular effects of infused prostacyclin (PGI2) were investigated in hypertensive anesthetized pigs in the steady state and at 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,20 and 30 min after the beginning of the infusion. …
To study the cardiac effects induced by purified scorpion toxin (tityustoxin, TsTX), without circulatory and respiratory influences, isolated guinea pig hearts were used. Single injections of 10, 20 o…
The parameters P(isv) (active isovolumetric detrusor pressure) and Vmax (maximum shortening velocity), which characterize the contractility of the detrusor muscle, were determined in guinea pigs. To t…
Preservation injury to bile ducts is a serious problem in liver transplantation, especially when preservation exceeds 12 hours. The authors hypothesized that the injury was caused by contact of bile d…
The centripetal force in speed skating the curves has to be delivered by the push off force which also does the external work to maintain the speed. Based on the geometry of the speed skating oval and…
This report confirms reproducible methods to isolate and assess viability and function of pig and human islets. We processed 10 pig and five human pancreata. The pancreata were digested by a modificat…
