Excretion rates of sulfamethoxazole and N4‐acetyl‐sulfamethoxazole by fresh water turtlesPseudemys scripta elegans

A mammalian melanopsin in the retina of a fresh water turtle, the red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

A mammalian-like melanopsin (Opn4m) has been found in all major vertebrate classes except reptile. Since the pupillary light reflex (PLR) of the fresh water turtle takes between 5 and 10 min to achieve maximum constriction, and since photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in mammals use Opn4m to control their slow sustained pupil responses, we hypothesized that a Opn4m homolog exists in...

Maximal Rates of Excretion

Received for publication 8 February 1973 and in revised form 18 April 1973. measured with 3H20. Then MIRUS is calculated as: ([mg urea N excreted between 8 and 24 h after dose E] + [BUN at 24 h-BUN at 8 h] X [body water]) X (100/% recovery ["C]urea) X (1/kg BW314) X (1/ 16h). MRUS in 10 normal subjects averaged 65 mg urea N/h per kg BW"' (range 55-76), and in 34 cirrhotics 27 mg urea N/h per kg...

second language acquisition of telicity and aspect by persian learners of english

این تحقیق از دو قسمت اصلی تشکیل شده است: در قسمت اول فراگیری ختمیت به ویژه درک و تولید اینگونه جملات توسط فراگیران ایرانی زبان انگلیسی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. قضاوت تعدادی انگلیسی زبان بر روی این جملات نیز هدفی دیگر بود که در این رساله بررسی شده است. از موضوعات دیگر تفاوت بین نشانه های ختمیت در زبان انگلیسی و فارسی و تاثیر زبان اول فراگیران در درک و تولید اینگونه جملات است. در قسمت دوم استفا...
