The temperature characteristics for the oxygen consumption and CO(2)-production of the germinating seeds of Lupinus albus were previously found to be different. It was predicted qualitatively that the respiratory quotient of the seed should be a function of temperature. A quantitative treatment is presented here, relating the change of the respiratory quotient with temperature and the temperatu...

Models of human auditory pathway are commonly used as a part of audio coding systems or algorithms for objective evaluation of sound quality. In order to simulate properly the nonlinear, signal-dependent behavior of the cochlea, physiologically accurate models are being developed. In the paper, a SIMULINK implementation of a hardware active nonlinear model of human cochlea is presented. The mod...

The pilot scheme began in August 1972 after three months of running parallel with a conventional system. In October 1972 the system was moved from Fulham Hospital into the new Charing Cross Hospital. Sixty thousand routine bacteriology requests have been processed satisfactorily by the computer system, about 70% of the total received. The cost for a computer-printed report is 32p compared with ...

We extend a semiclassical model of transfer reactions to the case in which one of the collision partners is a vibrational nucleus. The model is applied to oneand two-proton stripping reactions in the Cl + Mo system, for which a rapid transition from normal to anomalous slope in the two proton transfer reaction at energies around the Coulomb barrier is experimentally observed. This behavior is s...

If simple arbitrary modes of the form $ are used as coordmates in a win2 flutter cakdation, the equations are ill-conditioned and wm.mt be solvea satisfactorily on a simulator. This ill-conditioning can be avoided by trxmsfoming the flutter matrix so as to m&me the inertw couplings between like modes to zero. This tran.%%mation is &scribed with nmm.uxiL examples, aad some observo.t~ons are nxdo...

Novel tetrasubstituted pyrazole derivatives bearing a nitro substituent on their A-phenol ring were synthesized and their binding affinity towards the estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes ERalpha and ERbeta was determined. Among compounds tested, the 2-nitrophenol derivative 5c was found to bind satisfactorily to both estrogen receptor subtypes (RBAalpha=5.17 and RBAbeta=3.27). In general, the intro...

Physiologic criteria for the diagnosis of tricuspid stenosis have not been satisfactorily established. In an attempt to define these criteria the pressure gradients across the tricuspid valve during right ventricular diastole were analyzed in 10 patients with tricuspid stenosis and compared with the gradients in a group of patients who did not have this lesion. The diagnostic importance of the ...

A model for early failure due to electromigration in copper dualdamascene interconnects is proposed. The model is based on analytical expressions obtained from solutions of electromigration stress build-up assuming slit void growth under the interconnect vias. It is demonstrated that the model satisfactorily describes the complex physics of void nucleation and growth of the electromigration dam...

Kasan, in Russia, in 183G, and, two or three years later, Dr. Ceely, of Aylesbury, have satisfactorily proved it. It would seem, says Dr. Aitken. of Netley, referring to these results in his "Science and Practice of Medicine," that the "constitution of the cow has the power of assimilating, of modifying, and of mitigating the human variolous virus, and of stamping it with the properties of the ...

Measurements of small-signal intensity modulation from direct-modulated distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers after propagation in dispersive fiber have previously been used to extract intrinsic laser chirp parameters such as linewidth enhancement factor and crossover frequency. Here, we demonstrate that the simple rate equations do not satisfactorily account for the frequency respons...
