1. The availability of iron, zinc and calcium in a diet containing 400 g 'fibre-filler' (a mixture of bran, fruit and nuts, used in the F-plan diet)/kg diet (HF diet) was measured by whole-body counting in rats, using 59Fe, 65Zn and 47Ca as extrinsic labels, and compared with a diet of similar mineral content but no 'fibre-filler' (LF diet). Absorption of Fe and Ca was significantly higher from...

We obtain the exact probability exp[-LF([rho(x)])] of finding a macroscopic density profile rho(x) in the stationary nonequilibrium state of an open driven diffusive system, when the size of the system L-->infinity. F, which plays the role of a nonequilibrium free energy, has a very different structure from that found in the purely diffusive case. As there, F is nonlocal, but the shocks and dyn...

The present study aimed to study the effects of exercise training (ET) performed by rats on a 10-week high-fructose diet on metabolic, hemodynamic, and autonomic changes, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP). Male Wistar rats receiving fructose overload in drinking water (100 g/L) were concomitantly trained on a treadmill for 10 weeks (FT group) or kept sedentary (F group), and a control group...

lf as the grammatical locus of semantic interpretation in minimalism implies that lf is the only level at which any structural condition can be checked. accordingly, cross over effects provides some evidence for the existence of lf. to provide further evidence for the universality of cross over effects at lf, a comparative research between persian-english, turkish-english and persian-turkish ha...

Microcystins (MC), cyanobacterial peptide hepatotoxins, comprise more than 100 different variants. They are rather polar molecules but some variants contain hydrophobic amino acid residues in the highly variable parts of the molecule. In MC-LF and MC-LW, the more hydrophobic phenylalanine (F) and tryptophan (W), respectively, have replaced arginine (R) in MC-LR. Depending on the structure, micr...

We prove the Kato conjecture for elliptic operators on Rn. More precisely, we establish that the domain of the square root of a uniformly complex elliptic operator L = −div (A∇) with bounded measurable coefficients in Rn is the Sobolev space H1(Rn) in any dimension with the estimate ‖ √ Lf‖2 ∼ ‖∇f‖2.

Let X be a Polish space and K a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on X. For every sequence f = (fn)n dense in K, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set Lf = {L ∈ [N] : (fn)n∈L is pointwise convergent} are analyzed. It is shown that if K is not first countable, then Lf is Π 1 1 complete. This can also happen even if K is a pre-metric compactum of degree at most two, ...

Piscirickettsia salmonis is the predominant bacterial pathogen affecting the Chilean salmonid industry. This bacterium is the etiological agent of piscirickettsiosis, a significant fish disease. Membrane vesicles (MVs) released by P. salmonis deliver several virulence factors to host cells. To improve on existing knowledge for the pathogenicity-associated functions of P. salmonis MVs, we studie...

Methods: In 25 healthy volunteers (f= 12. m = 13. age 40 * 12 yrs.) we studied the influence of selective and unselective blockade of the autonomic nervous system on heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV). Data were recorded after an interval for rest lasting 20 min. and cardiovascular variables were observed to be stable. The examinations were performed in supine position, at constant room t...

The family of all smooth foliations F on an open set Ω ⊂ R2 ∼= C is naturally parameterized by all smooth maps X : Ω → S1 = {z ∈ C : |z| = 1}, in the sense that the values ± √ X(p) determine the tangent line to the leaf of F at p ∈ Ω. If F is further assumed to be orientable, a smooth global branch Y of the square root of X can be chosen. In this case, one has the classical Lyapunov criterion: ...
