We have investigated optical properties of 4248 infrared galaxies (IRGs) by positionally matching data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3 (SDSS DR3). Due to the large sky area coverage of both surveys, we have obtained an opportunity to study an unprecedentedly large number of 4248 infrared galaxies spanning four orders of infrared lu...

Millimeter-wave (CO) observations of optically-selected QSOs are potentially a powerful tool for studying the properties of both the QSOs and their host galaxies. We summarize here a recent molecular gas survey of z < 0.17 optical QSOs with infrared (IR) excess, LIR(8 − 1000μm)/Lbbb(0.1 − 1.0μm) > 0.36. Eight of these QSOs have been detected to date in CO(1 → 0), and the derived molecular gas m...

Abstract Objective To investigate the response of infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) to running at different intensities and further explore underlying mechanisms these responses under running-induced loadings. Methods Animals were randomly assigned into sedentary (SED), low-intensity (LIR), medium-intensity (MIR), high-intensity (HIR) groups. The rats in LIR, MIR, HIR groups subjected an 8-week tread...
