The financial system of the United States contains two large subsystems. The function of the first, generally referred to as monetary policy, is to control the total volume of credit for the purpose of aggregate economic stabilization. The second sub-system, which has no name, consists of a maze of regulations, institutions and tax practices designed to influence the allocation of credit, and h...

In this study we examined changes in the salivary concentrations of immunoglobulin A (sIgA), cortisol (sC), testosterone (sT), and testosterone-to-cortisol ratio (T/C) in 21 competitive swimmers, 11-15 years old, during a week leading to competition as compared to a control (noncompetition) week. No day-to-day changes or significant differences between weeks were observed for sIgA (47.9 ± 4.4 v...

The effects of capsaicin-sensitive nerve degeneration (capsaicin-treatment) on the corpus and the antrum was investigated in the absolute ethanol-induced lesion model in rats. The gastric lesion in the antrum were significantly aggravated by the capsaicin-treatment, while those in the corpus were not affected. To clarify the different susceptibility between the antrum and the corpus, the effect...

Objectives- Using conjunctival graft to replace experimental mucosal defects of teatsinus.Study- Experimental study.Animals- Five healthy, mature, lactating, Jersey cows.Methods- Conjunct ival mucosal gra fts with teat cannula were evaluated in the repair of experimentalteat sinusmucosal lesions. A 1.5xl em wide circumferential strip of mucosa was resected from each teat in five Jersey cows. Ea...

mitted for evaluation of a gastric lesion incidentally noted on upper gastrointesti− nal endoscopic examination during a rou− tine health evaluation. At initial endosco− py, a 13−mm submucosal tumor covered with benign−appearing mucosa was found (l" Figure 1). Endoscopic ultraso− nography (EUS) demonstrated a 13.0− mm homogenous, circumscribed hypo− echogenic lesion rising from the fourth sonog...

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201501590 electrochemical stability window, and (3) chemical compatibility with the anode and cathode. In the past few years, major advances have been achieved in increasing the Li ionic conductivity of the solid electrolytes. The state-of-the-art solid electrolyte materials, such as Li-garnet Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) and Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 (LGPS) have achieved an ionic conduc...
