There are a wide range of important applications for metal tube materials in various fields. The production process of high-frequency longitudinally welded pipe includes first using a roller to coil the long steel strips of a certain size into a cylinder shape, and then join them by heating the steel materials at the welding edge with a high-frequency welding machine — Fig. 1. The processes inc...

puters present a new frontier in the field of teaching and learning technology, and Lin Qiu of SUNY Oswego's computer science faculty is one of the pioneers. He has received grants from Microsoft Research and Hewlett Packard, totaling nearly $114,000, to develop software and acquire equipment that will help computer science and software engineering students get immediate feedback on their class...

Fellner, Susan K., and William J. Arendshorst. Capacitative calcium entry in smooth muscle cells from preglomerular vessels. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Renal Physiol. 46): F533– F542, 1999.—Calcium entry via voltage-gated L-type channels is responsible for at least half of the increase in cytosolic calcium ([Ca]i) in afferent arterioles following agonist stimulation. We sought the presence of capacit...

Tuxworth, William J., Jr., Hisayasu Wada, Yuji Ishibashi, and Paul J. McDermott. Role of load in regulating eIF-4F complex formation in adult feline cardiocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H1273–H1282, 1999.— This study examined whether cardiocyte load increases eIF-4F complex formation. To increase load in vitro, adult feline cardiocytes were electrically stimulated to cont...

Aldoretta, Peter W., and William W. Hay, Jr. Effect of glucose supply on ovine uteroplacental glucose metabolism. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R947–R958, 1999.—To test the hypothesis that glucose supply to the uteroplacenta (UP) regulates UP glucose metabolism into oxidative and nonoxidative pathways, we studied eight late-gestation pregnant sheep at low (LG) ...
