I'm sorry to say that there's hardly a word that is research based in this " 40 years hard labour " , but what surprises me is that my observation and experience is sometimes supported by subsequent research. This is an anecdotal account which I hope you will enjoy and find peppered with controversy, pearls of wisdom, and food for thought, but I expect it will not add one jot to the body of you...

Ming, Zhi, Chao Han, and W. Wayne Lautt. Nitric oxide mediates hepatic arterial vascular escape from norepinephrine-induced constriction. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 40): G1200–G1206, 1999.—The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the vascular escape from norepinephrine (NE)-induced vasoconstriction was investigated in the hepatic arterial vasculature of anesthetized cats. ...

Traditionally, diffused infrared configuration has been studied with the assumption that the illuminated region is placed at room ceiling. This is done to ensure minimum path loss to a maximum number of receiver locations. In many practical situations, this arrangement might be difficult to implement, either due to the ceiling structure or the difficulty in illuminating the entire ceiling unifo...

a study of the Literature of Inoculation for Rabies and Hydrophobia. Now evidence may be collected from the student in the workshop, or from gossip in the market-place. Our author has chosen the latter source. The literature studied and quoted is that ordinarily found on the table of the reading-room of a London Club. We have quotations from The Times and The Field?these have some weight; and w...

Cultures of established and transformed fibroblasts were less able to contract a hydrated collagen gel than normal precrisis cells. Postcrisis fibroblasts from different rodent strains and species underwent a further reduction in contraction ability and either spontaneous or simian virus 40 (SV40) transformation. Human precrisis fibroblasts contracted much more efficiently than two SV40-transfo...
