at postmortem 1 wk later. In control dogs, the gross infarct size at postmortem averaged 63.8±7.3% of that predicted from the acutely injured zone. However, in reperfused hearts the average gross infarct size at 1 wk was only 10.2+4.4% of that predicted. Transmural specimens were obtained at autopsy for histology and measurement of myocardial creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity from sites ini...

Sera and plasma from different species and from rats of various dietary statuses were compared with regard to effects on proliferation, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, and lipid-filing of rat adipocyte precursors converting to adipocytes in primary cell culture. All of the tested sera and plasma samples were comparably supportive of cell multiplication, but their effects on elev...

Our aim was to investigate how the organization of a whole body movement is altered when movement duration (MD) is varied. Subjects performed the same whole body pointing movement over long, normal and short MDs. The kinematic trajectories were then analyzed on a normalized time base. A principal components analysis (PCA) revealed that the degree of coordination between the elevation angles of ...

We investigated the genetic background of intraspecific variation in wing color across an elevational gradient in the butterfly Colias philodice eriphyle. The degree of wing melanization was an accelerating function of elevation, and differences in wing melanization persisted in a common environment. Full-sibling analysis and parent-offspring regression yielded consistent, moderate to high heri...

In this paper, a new type of bivariate basis on a triangle is presented, which is constructed by extending the univariate NTP basis proposed by Delgado and Peña. Some algebraic properties and its recursive formulae are given. Then a new type of surfaces that is called triangular DP surface is defined, and its recursive evaluation algorithm is obtained. Also, in the case of low degree, its subdi...

OBJECTIVES To examine the association of intrapartum temperature elevation with adverse neonatal outcome among low-risk women receiving epidural analgesia and evaluate the association of epidural with adverse neonatal outcome without temperature elevation. METHODS We studied all low-risk nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies ≥37 weeks delivering at our hospital during 2000, excluding p...

DP curves, which possess the shape-preserving property and linear complexity evaluation algorithm, occupy a significantly important place in computer aided geometric design. Thus to do the research on the DP curves algorithms has a positive meaning. Aphirukmatakun et al. presented a degree elevation algorithm of DP curves based on the transformation between the DP basis and power basis. At the ...

Abstract. We present a comparison of Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) geolocated photon heights operational ice charts from the Finnish Ice Service in Bay Bothnia spring 2019. show that ICESat-2 (IS2) retrievals areas with different ridging characteristics, more precisely degree (DIR), differ significantly. DIR is particularly useful parameter for navigators, as it provides ...
