Inorganic lead ion in micromolar concentrations inhibits Electrophorus electroplax microsomal (Na+ + K+)-adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+ + K+)-ATPase) and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (NPPase). Under the same conditions, the same concentrations of PbCl2 that inhibit ATPase activity also stimulate the phosphorylation of electroplax microsomes in the absence of added Na+. Enzyme activity is protect...

The role of changes in the extracellular potassium concentration [K(+)](o) in epilepsy has remained unclear. Historically, it was hypothesized that [K(+)]( o) is the causal factor for epileptic seizures. This so-called potassium accumulation hypothesis led to substantial debate but subsequently failed to find wide acceptance. However, recent studies on the pathophysiology of tissue from epilept...

in this paper $s$ is a monoid with a left zero and $a_s$ (or $a$) is a unitary right $s$-act. it is shown that a monoid $s$ is right perfect (semiperfect) if and only if every (finitely generated) strongly flat right $s$-act is quasi-projective. also it is shown that if every right $s$-act has a unique zero element, then the existence of a quasi-projective cover for each right act implies that ...
