Customers’ needs are dynamic and evolve in response to unfolding environmental uncertainties. The ability of a company or an industry to address these changing customers’ needs in a timely and cost-effective way is a measure of its responsiveness. In the space industry, a systemic discrepancy exists between the time constants associated with the change of customers’ needs, and the response time...

Asthma is a complex disease of airway inflammation, which results in airway remodeling and hyper-responsiveness.1 Because asthma-related symptoms are not specific to asthma, diagnosis requires objective data from pulmonary function tests (PFT). Bronchodilator responsiveness and airway responsiveness to provocational stimuli (eg, methacholine, dry-gas hyperpnea) help establish the diagnosis of a...

Repeated aerosolized antigen challenges to brown Norway (BN) rats generate nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). On the other hand, some studies have demonstrated that repeated antigen challenge could attenuate antigen-specific AHR in BN rats. The authors questioned whether such dissociation in airway responses actually occurs when assessed in a single study in the same animals. The aut...

Background: The slow-freezing method is one of the most popular techniques to freeze human oocytes and it is also used in routine in vitro-fertilization (IVF) programs, particularly in those countries where embryo freezing is not allowed. Slow-freezing damages some of the structures of the egg, among which the meiotic spindle (MS) and the zona pellucida (ZP). Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) pe...

For decades, the major procedure for identifying children with learning disabilities (LD) has involved documenting a discrepancy between a student's ]Q and achievement. With this approach, however, identification typically occurs at fifth grade, so children must "wait-tofail" before intervention can occur. For this reason, along with technical difficulties associated with the IQ-achievement dis...

Within a honey bee colony, individuals performing different tasks exhibit different sensitivities to noxious stimuli. Noxious-stimulus sensitivity can be quantified in harnessed bees by measuring the sting extension response (SER) to a series of increasing voltages. Biogenic amines play a crucial role in the control of insect responsiveness. Whether or not these neurotransmitters affect the cen...
