This Letter presents a technique for subdiffraction limit imaging termed Bessel beam microscopy (BBM). By placing a lens in series with an axicon in the optical path of a microscope, the diffraction-limited resolution of the base microscope is improved by one third. This improvement is demonstrated experimentally by resolving individual subdiffraction limit fluorescent beads in a close-pack arr...

Fredkin’s Billiard Ball Model (BBM) is considered one of the fundamental models of collision-based computing, and it is essentially based on elastic collisions of mobile billiard balls. Moreover, fixed mirrors or reflectors are brought into the model to deflect balls to complete the computation. However, the use of fixed mirrors is “physically unrealistic” and makes the BBM not perfectly moment...

Single anatomical variation in the upper limb is common, but the coexistence of neuromuscular anomalies is still rare. We found a combined neuromuscular variation in the upper limb in a 61-year-old Korean male cadaver, whose cause of death was laryngeal carcinoma, during a routine dissection course for medical students. In his left arm, a supernumerary head of the biceps brachii muscle attached...

This paper is devoted to the spatial analyticity of solution BBM equation on real line with an analytic initial data. It shown that radius has a lower bound like $$t^{-\frac{2}{3}}$$ as time t goes infinity, which improvement previous results. The main new ingredient higher order almost conservation law in spaces. proved by introducing equivalent norm smooth symbol and establishing some algebra...

On the basis of the principle of conservation of mass and fundamental principle of dynamics, we find the Euler equation enabling us to describe the asymptotic models of waves propagation in shallow water in dimension 1. To describe the waves propagation in dimension 2, a linear perturbation of the KdV equation is used by Kadomtsev and Petviashvili [Sov. Phys. Dokady 15 (1970) 539]. But that doe...

Ezetimibe inhibits Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1), an apical membrane cholesterol transporter of enterocytes, thereby reduces intestinal cholesterol absorption. This treatment also increases extrahepatic reverse cholesterol transport via an undefined mechanism. To explore this, we employed a trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux (TICE) assay, which directly detects circulation-to-intestinal lume...

Streptozotocin-induced (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in rats promotes jejunal glucose transport, but the trigger for this response remains unclear. Our recent work using euglycemic rats has implicated the enterocyte renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in control of sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT1)-mediated glucose uptake across the jejunal brush border membrane (BBM). The aim of the ...

OBJECTIVES A physiological adaptation to a sugar-rich meal is achieved by increased sugar uptake to match dietary load, resulting from a rapid transient translocation of the fructose/glucose GLUT2 transporter to the brush border membrane (BBM) of enterocytes. The aim of this study was to define the contributors and physiological mechanisms controlling intestinal sugar absorption, focusing on th...

In this study, iron absorption from a tempe fermented whole-grain barley meal was measured, and results were compared to in vitro estimation of available iron from an equivalent meal. The tempe meal (TM) was prepared from barley fermented with Rhizopus oligosporus to reduce the phytate content <0.5 mol/g. Boiled barley with preserved phytate content was used as reference meal (BBM). Iron was ad...
