In Type 1 diabetes, skeletal muscle resting intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) homeostasis is impaired following muscle contractions. It is unclear to what degree this behavior is contingent upon fiber type and muscle oxygenation conditions. We tested the hypotheses that: 1) the rise in resting [Ca(2+)]i evident in diabetic rat slow-twitch (type I) muscle would be exacerbated in fas...

PURPOSE Measurement of crystalline lens geometry in vivo is critical to optimize performance of state-of-the-art cataract surgery. We used custom-developed quantitative anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and developed dedicated algorithms to estimate lens volume (VOL), equatorial diameter (DIA), and equatorial plane position (EPP). METHODS The method was validated ex vivo in ...

In this study, we investigate the problems of inhomogeneous turbulence. The main goal has been to find the connections between analytic turbulence theories, notably the formalism of the direct interaction approximation (DIA), and turbulence phenomenology. To simplify the results from an inhomogeneous DIA model, we have employed a diagonalization procedure and an assumption of weak inhomogeneity...

The cow mammary transcriptome was explored at -30, -15, 1, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, and 300 d relative to parturition. A total of 6,382 differentially expressed genes (DEG) at a false discovery rate ≤ 0.001 were found throughout lactation. The greatest number of DEG (>3,500 DEG) was observed at 60 and 120 d vs. -30 d with the largest change between consecutive time points observed at -15 vs. 1 d a...

Shooting at two incipient black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies remover from 12.8 to 17.3 prairie dogs/ha vith reduction of adults averaging 69%. Habitat was physically altered in a portion of one prairie dog colony and activity levels between treated and non-treated areas dia not show any consistent differences.

The VuNet is a gigabit-per-second Desk-Area ATM Network which interconnects general-purpose workstations , network-based multimedia devices and bridges to other networks. Workstations access the multime-dia devices over the network and coordinate the movement of information streams among the diierent parts of the system. This architecture presents several advantages over the traditional worksta...
