Activation of chloride currents and release of internally sequestered Ca(2+) in airway smooth muscle have long been associated with excitation and contraction. Surprisingly, however, two recent publications (Deshpande DA, Wang WC, McIlmoyle EL, Robinett KS, Schillinger RM, An SS, Sham JS, Liggett SB. Nat Med 16: 1299-1304, 2010; Gallos G, Yim P, Chang S, Zhang Y, Xu D, Cook JM, Gerthoffer WT, E...

OBJECTIVE A mixed methods study was conducted to determine the views of Aboriginal people on their experiences of a brokerage model for access to community-based health services in an urban setting. METHODS A broad range of approaches, using surveys, semi-structured interviews and community forums with Aboriginal people were used to find out people's views and experiences of using the brokera...

A Crystal Plasticity Finite Element (CPFE) framework is proposed for modeling the non-Schmid yield behavior of L12 type Ni3Al crystals and Ni-based superalloys. This relies on estimation model parameters directly from orientation- temperature-dependent experimental stress data. The inelastic deformation extended to precipitate phase superalloys in a homogenized dislocation density based crystal...

Wenige Autoren haben die europäische Lyrik so geprägt wie Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374). Das liegt vor allem an dem poetischen Stil von Petrarcas wichtigstem Text in italienischer Sprache, einer Sammlung Liebesgedichten mit Titel Canzoniere, über Jahrhunderte zu einem bedeutenden Modell für wurde. Einfluss auf Literatur wird der Forschung oft Ausdruck „Petrarkismus“ bezeichnet, allerdings ist ...

Staged aortic aneurysm repair is one method used to decrease the risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) after endovascular intervention. Sequential sacrifice arteries perfusing spine might allow for improved perfusion through development collateral networks over time. To evaluate effect staging repairs on SCI, we conducted a conservative analysis Vascular Quality Initiative data. De-identified data...
