Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in various electronic equipment. The development of an effective method for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of LIBs can ensure the normal …
A novel photonic scheme for generating multi-band dual-chirp waveforms with linear or nonlinear chirp rates is proposed via two cascaded polarization modulators (PolMs) paralleled with a phase modulat…
Air quality changes with human health risk assessment were investigated. The measurement results obtained by the Regional Environmental Protection Inspectorate (REPI) in Kraków and our deposited parti…
We tested the hypothesis that an elevation in albumin synthetic rate contributes to increased plasma albumin content during exercise-induced hypervolemia. Albumin synthetic rate was measured in seven …
Earlier reports indicate that calves derived from in vitro produced (IVP) embryos are more susceptible to neonatal disease than calves produced after artificial insemination (AI) or natural mating. Th…
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV; family Caulimoviridae) responds to the presence of aphid vectors on infected plants by forming specific transmission morphs. This phenomenon, coined transmission activa…
PURPOSE: The fringe field of the Australian MRI-linac causes contaminant electrons to be focused along the central axis resulting in a high surface dose. This work aims to characterize this effect usi…
The effect of dietary-induced vitamin B-6 (B-6) deficiency on the intake of the taste solutions, sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium saccharin (NaSacc), quinine sulfate (QS), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) wa…
BACKGROUND: Time-resolved three-dimensional, three-directional phase-contrast magnetic resonance velocity mapping (4D PC-MRI) is a powerful technique to depict dynamic blood flow patterns in the human…
Glucose tolerance tends to decrease in healthy aged subjects without family history of diabetes. Either reduced insulin secretion or insulin resistance may be responsible. Insulin secretion and insuli…
Tooth color is caused by volume reflection, that is, passage of incident light through the tooth followed by backward emergence. This passage is concurrent with sideward displacement of photons that, …
Plasma levels of endothelin (ET), plasma renin activity (PRA) and angiotensin II (Ang II) were measured in anaesthetized marmosets exposed to acute aortic stenosis proximal to the renal arteries. In v…
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) …
Gravity-induced absorption changes as experienced during a series of parabolas on the Airbus 300 Zero-G have been measured previously pointwise on the basis of dual-wavelength spectroscopy. Only the t…
Sequence variations in a variety of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokine genes have been found to influence successful aging and longevity. Because of the role played by the transforming growth factor b…
PURPOSE: Depilation-induced skin pigmentation in C57Bl/6 mice is a known occurrence, and presents a unique problem for quantitative optical imaging of small animals, especially for bioluminescence. Th…
The effects of a daily 3-g supplement of betaine on kinetic aspects of L-[2H3-methyl-1-13C]methionine (MET) metabolism in healthy young adult men were explored. Four groups of four subjects each were …
To study whether free fatty acids (FFAs) contribute to glucose intolerance in high-fat fed mice, the derivative of nicotinic acid, acipimox, which inhibits lipolysis, was administered intraperitoneall…
We introduce the use of silicon (Si) as a substrate for the electroformation of giant phospholipid vesicles. By taking advantage of the tunability of silicon surface properties, we varied the organiza…
The renal excretory function and plasma renin activity (PRA) were studied in conscious rats on a low sodium diet (25 mmol/kg) after atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) infusion (100 ng/kg b.w./min) for 8…
