In young (4-week-old) male and female spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats, ethanol metabolic rate in vivo and hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase activity in vitro are high and not different in the two sexes. In males, ethanol metabolic rate falls markedly between 4 and 10 weeks of age, which coincides with the time of development of sexual maturity in the rat. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity is also...

Previous studies (e.g., Satoh et al., 1995a) on inversion of quality factor for S waves, QS, of sediments using surface-to-borehole spectral ratios of seismograms, are mostly based on one-dimensional wave propagation of vertically incident SH waves. In this study a method is proposed for inverting frequency-dependent QS, S-wave velocity VS, P-wave velocity VP and incidence angle by considering ...

In diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI), Spherical Deconvolution (SD) is a commonly used approach for estimating the fiber Orientation Distribution Function (fODF). As a Probability Density Function (PDF) that characterizes the distribution of fiber orientations, the fODF is expected to be non-negative and to integrate to unity on the continuous unit sphere S2. However, many existing app...

Technological innovations, varying from ubiquitous computing, intelligent appliances, telecommunication, robotics, to wearable sensors, enable new Smart Home (SH) applications. More and more academic publications reporting on experiments on SH can be found. A comprehensive clustering of concepts and approaches is largely missing. Based on an extensive review of SH literature, this paper propose...

Mast cells have been suggested to play key roles in adipogenesis. We herein show that the expression of preadipocyte, but not adipocyte, marker genes increases in the white adipose tissue of mast cell-deficient (Kit(W-sh/W-sh) ) mice under both obese and non-obese conditions. In vitro culturing with adipogenic factors revealed increased adipocytes differentiated from the Kit(W-sh/W-sh) stromal ...

introduction: oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are involved in neurodegeneration procedure in parkinson’s disease. recently, neuroprotective potential of boswellia resin has been demonstrated. therefore, this study examined whether administration of boswellia resin would attenuate mpp+- induced neuronal death in sk-n-sh- cell line, a human dopaminergic neurons- in vitro. methods: boswelli...

We have developed a thiol-modified nanoporous silica material (SH-SAMMS) as an oral therapy for the prevention and treatment of heavy metal poisoning. SH-SAMMS has been reported to be highly efficient at capturing heavy metals in biological fluids and water. Herein, SH-SAMMS was examined for efficacy and safety in both in vitro and in vivo animal models for the oral detoxification of heavy meta...

Earlier studies on the role of sulfhydryl (-SH) groups in morphogenesis have indicated that in chick and amphibian embryos, an -SH-containing substance can act as an inducing stimulus in the action of the primary organizer. Thus, blocking -SH groups by chloroacetophenone (CAP) has specific developmental effects and the inducing capacity of the Hensen's node is affected (Lakshmi, 1962öf, b). Rev...

Section A presents the list of concepts used in our experiments for UTE and TV episodes datasets. Section B studies the effect of ground set size on the performance of our proposed method, SH-DPP. Section C presents the training and optimization details of SH-DPP. Section D studies the lower dimensions of the model parameters W and V. Section E shows a few system generated video summaries in fu...
