ACh and KCl stimulate vasomotor responses that spread rapidly and bidirectionally along arteriole walls, most likely via spread of electric current or Ca2+ through gap junctions. We examined these possibilities with isolated, cannulated, and perfused hamster cheek pouch arterioles (50- to 80-microm resting diameter). After intraluminal loading of 2 microM fluo 3 to measure Ca2+ or 1 microM di-8...

In this digest, we will present a methodology that allow us to accommodate the conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated by power factor correctors to international standards in the design step. EMI filter design considerations and EMI predictive procedures are presented. The predictive procedures are based in a family of curves that allows us to determine the conducted Electromagn...

This paper deals with the electromagnetic emissions of integrated circuits. In particular, four measurement techniques to evaluate integrated circuit conducted emissions are described in detail and they are employed for the measurement of the power supply conducted emission delivered by a simple integrated circuit composed of six synchronous switching drivers. Experimental results obtained by e...

Plentiful studies are reported on the semi-rigid behavior of joints between open section H shaped beam and column, but researches focusing on the semi-rigid performance of joints between square/rectangular hollow section (SHS/RHS) column-to-H shaped beam is to lag a lot. Most studies shows that when the SHS/RHS column connecting the H beam without internal diaphragm, the joints behavior is semi...

The present study investigates speech segmentation of English by semi-bilingual Japanese speakers of English. Two experiments were conducted with forty subjects. The first experiment used a syllable-monitoring task and the results did not show a moraic segmentation strategy, which is a languagespecific segmentation strategy for native speakers of Japanese. This suggests that they employed a gen...

OBJECTIVES Technology overlapping is a phenomenon based on the availability of different technologies to treat the same morbidity in the same patient group. The aim of this study was to explore the cost-effectiveness of technology overlapping in a case study on colorectal cancer (CRC), and describe an approach to investigate the phenomena and to propose adequate interventions. METHODS A Semi-...

background and purpose: fungal keratitis is a suppurative, ulcerative, and sight-threatening infection of the cornea that sometimes leads to blindness. the aims of this study were: recuperating facilities for laboratory diagnosis, determining the causative microorganisms, and comparing conventional laboratory diagnostic tools and semi-nested pcr. materials and methods: sampling was conducted in...

semi-aerobic leachate is characterized by organic matter (cod, bod) which is relatively low in concentration and difficult to biodegrade. in conventional treatment systems, the low biodegradability is attributed to partial stabilization of leachate at the landfill. biological treatment of leachate in malaysia is not well established and any important data for the treatment process is not availa...

“equality of genders” is a subject which has occupied the minds of academic society in recent decades. many experts have had had theories on this subject and islamic thinkers have tried to explain justice and equality from the islamic point of view and they have criticized feministic approaches. there have also been researches conducted in this regard. in this article we will briefly review the...
