Optical interferometers are commonly used for a variety of applications, including spectral analysis, displacement measurements, and gyroscopes. They were also proposed, in a more limited sense, for applications involving image processing.' In what follows we describe three new interferometers that implement mathematical operations on images borne by coherent input laser beams. Each interferome...

several therapeutic effects including hypnotic, antispasmodic, treatment of abdominal and chest pain and strengthening the heart have been described for the flowers of rosa damascena. north american indian tribes use a decoction of the roots obtained from the rosa damascena plant as a cough remedy and to treat eye problem. therefore, in the present study the antitussive effect of this plant in ...

Objective. To analyze the in vivo compartmental expression of collagenases 1 and 3 (MMP-1 and MMP13) in the Hartley guinea pig model of spontaneously occurring osteoarthritis (OA) for the purpose of elucidating their roles in the pathogenesis of OA. Methods. Competitive reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry quantification of messenger RNA (mRNA) and pr...

PURPOSE To characterize and compare gene expression patterns of the whole eyeball among human, mouse, and guinea pig based on expressed sequence tags (ESTs). METHODS Approximately 10,000 clones were sequenced from the 5'-end for each cDNA library made from mRNAs isolated from whole eyeballs of human, mouse, and guinea pig. ESTs were assembled and analyzed based on standard methods. RESULTS ...

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and beclomethasone against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pi...

Rabbits immunized with partially purified guinea pig serum and guinea pig liver L-asparaginases produced precipitating antibodies to the homologous enzymes. Antisera to guinea pig serum L-asparaginase precipitated the guinea pig liver and agouti serum L-asparaginases but did not crossreact with Escherichia coli B L-asparaginase. Conversely, antisera to guinea pig liver L-asparaginase precipitat...

Following a familiar route and finding a novel route in a familiar environment depend on different cognitive processes and representations. A recent study by Hartley et al. begins to identity the neural basis of route following and wayfinding in humans. Their study also raises important questions about the functions of the hippocampus.

Reading a book is also kind of better solution when you have no enough money or time to get your own adventure. This is one of the reasons we show the teaching medical students in primary and secondary care a resource book as your friend in spending the time. For more representative collections, this book not only offers it's strategically book resource. It can be a good friend, really good fri...
