This analytical method for determination of Sr in plasma and urine involves flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). Drying, charring, and atomization were optimized with respect to temperature, temperature ramp, and duration for Sr in dilute HNO3 and Sr in plasma diluted 20-fold with dilute HNO3. Calibration curves (r greater than 0.995) were linear in the concentration range 5-25...

We present theorems and an algorithm to find optimal or near-optimal “stochastic resonance” (SR) noise benefits for Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing and for more general inequality-constrained signal detection problems. The optimal SR noise distribution is just the randomization of two noise realizations when the optimal noise exists for a single inequality constraint on the average cost. The ...

By SR(T) we mean the collection of Radon measures on ...

1. ip is real-analytic; 2. the rank of <p equals p on an everywhere dense subset of U; 3. (f(U) is closed in V; 4. for each compact subset K C <p(U), there exists a compact subset H C U such that <p(H) = K. Then the composition subalgebra A? = {foip: f e C°°(V)} is closed in C°°(U), when this algebra carries its natural Frechet topology (convergence on compact subsets of the function and all it...

let  $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $g/h$, where $g$ be a locally compact group and  $h$ be a compact subgroup of $g$. for  an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$  and $psi in l^p(g/h), 1leq p

A compact and highly efficient unidirectional DC–DC converter is required as a battery charger for electrical vehicles, which will rapidly become widespread in the near future. The single active bridge (SAB) proposed simple high-frequency isolated converter, comprised of an H-bridge primary side, high frequency transformer, rectifying secondary diode output circuit. This paper presents novel, u...

Impaired glucose tolerance is present in many acromegalic patients and treatment with somatostatin analogs has variable effects on glycemic control. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 2 somatostatin analogs on glucose metabolism, lanreotide slow release (L-SR) and octreotide long acting release (O-LAR), in 10 patients with acromegaly (2 of whom with overt Type 2 diabetes mellit...

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has several chloride (Cl-) channels, which may neutralize the charge across the SR membrane generated by Ca 2+ movement. We recently reported a novel 116picosiemen Clchannel that is activated by protein kinase A-dependent phosphorylation in cardiac SR. This Clchannel may serve as a target protein in the receptor-dependent regulation of cardiac excitation-cont...

A fixed-point theorem on compact compositions of acyclic maps on admissible (in the sense of Klee) convex subset of a t.v.s. is applied to obtain a cyclic coincidence theorem for acyclic maps, generalized “onNeumann type intersection theorems, the Nash type equilibrium theorems, and the “onNeumann minimax theorem. Our new results generalize earlier works of Lassonde [l], Simons [2], and Park [3...

Introduction. Let G be an open subset of the Euclidean w-space E, Gi an open subset with compact closure in G. If n = 2 and G is the whole of E, an important circle of theorems in the theory of analytic functions associated with the names of Walsh, HartogsRosenthal, Lavrentiev, Keldych, and Mergelyan deals with the possibility of approximating analytic functions on Gi continuous on its closure,...
