Dopamine receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and play important roles in neuronal transmission. A D1-D2 receptor heterooligomer generating a Gprotein linked PLC-dependent intracellular calcium signal was previously identified. The discovery of this dopamine mediated calcium signal implicated a direct link between dopamine receptors and calcium generation, but its...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the accuracy of mitral inflow quantification using biplane transesophageal echocardiography. BACKGROUND Mitral stroke volume can be reliably quantified by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography, but previous studies involving monoplane transesophageal echocardiography have yielded mixed results. METHODS Thirty patients without mitral regurgitation were pro...

in the french law, the properties of public entities and at the head of them, the properties of state are divided into public domain of public entities and private domain of public entities. the criterion of distinguishing of public properties of public entities is a procedural matter that has been taken from french doctrine, however the recent law of public entities ownership passed in 2006 ha...

In this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. The conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. This study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...

harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. the widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. this paper employs an extended harmonic domain (ehd) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...
