Background: The Jendrassik maneuver (JM) is a remote facilitation muscular contraction shown to affect amplitude and temporal components of the human stretch reflex. Conflicting theoretical models exist regarding the neurological mechanism related to its ability to reinforce reflex parameters. One mechanism involves the gamma motoneurons of the fusimotor system, which are subject to both physic...

On an N × N upper bidiagonal matrix B, where all the diagonals and the upper subdiagonals are positive, and its transpose BT , it is shown in the recent paper [4] that quantities JM(B) ≡ Tr(((BT B)M)−1) (M = 1, 2, . . . ) gives a sequence of lower bounds θM(B) of the minimal singular value of B through θM(B) ≡ (JM(B)). In [4], simple recurrence relations for computing all the diagonals of ((BT ...

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming organism, isolated from the stem of Gossypium hirsutum, was studied to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain JM-267T was grouped in the genus Bacillus, related most closely to the type strains of Bacillus simplex and Bacillus huizhouensis (both 97.8%), Bacillus mur...

Thermal radiosensitization was studied in two human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (JM and MOLT3) with regard to heat-irradiation sequence and heating duration. In MOLT3 thermal radiosensitization was maximal when 43.5 degrees C hyperthermia immediately preceded or followed irradiation; at 41.5 degrees C, radiosensitization was maximal with hyperthermia immediately before or up ...

Redistribution of single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) between superficial (S) and juxtamedullary (JM) nephrons is thought to participate in the renal adaptation to different levels of dietary sodium intake. This possibility was examined using the Hanssen technique which measures SNGFR as the C-ferrocyanide content of microdissected nephrons factored by the mean plasma concentratio...
