OBJECTIVE To study the phosphorylation state of neurofilament (NF) proteins and activity of KSPXK kinase in the sciatic nerves of Swiss white (S/W) mice inoculated in the hind foot pads with M. leprae. DESIGN Test group includes S/W mice inoculated in the foot pads with freshly harvested human derived (viable) M. leprae. Control groups were constituted by (1) Age matched un-inoculated mice, (...

Two new surveys of nebulae, to wpg= 18.47 aQd 21.03,are described which, together w ith three earlier surveys to wpg= 19, 19.4, and 20, indicate the apparent distribution in depth. The numbers of nebulae per square degree, N , to limiting magnitudes m, are represented b y the relation lo g iV = o .6 (m— Am) — 9.052 + 0.005 ,

The convergence rate of a Krylov method such as the Generalized Conjugate Resid10 ual (GCR) [6] method, to solve a linear system Au = f , A = (ai j) ∈ Rm×m,u ∈ 11 R m, f ∈ Rm, decreases with increasing condition number κ2(A) = ||A||2||A−1||2 12 of the non singular matrix A. Left preconditioning techniques consist of solving 13 M−1Au=M−1 f such that κ2(M−1A)<<κ2(A). The Additive Schwarz (AS) pre...

Two challenges for improving the performance of air cathode, single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) include increasing Coulombic efficiency (CE) and decreasing internal resistance. Nonbiodegradable glass fiber separators between the two electrodes were shown to increase power and CE, compared to cloth separators (J-cloth) that were degraded over time. MFC tests were conducted using glass fi...
