Our objective was to test the hypothesis that short-term exercise training (STR) of pigs increases endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) of coronary arteries but not coronary arterioles. Female Yucatan miniature swine ran on a treadmill for 1 h, at 3.5 mph, twice daily for 7 days (STR; n = 28). Skeletal muscle citrate synthase activity was increased in STR compared with sedentary controls (Sed; ...

The two main glutamatergic pathways to the CA1 area, the Schaffer collateral/commissural input and the entorhinal fibers, as well as the local axons of CA1 pyramidal cells innervate both pyramidal cells and interneurons. To determine whether these inputs differ in their weights of activating GABAergic circuits, we have studied the relative proportion of pyramidal cells and interneurons among th...

DNA typing with short tandem repeat (STR) markers is now widely used for a variety of applications including human identification. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) instruments, such as the ABI Prism 310 and ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzers, are the method of choice for many laboratories performing STR analysis. This review discusses issues surrounding sample preparation, injection, separation, detectio...

We present an approach to unsupervised concept formation, based on accumulation of partial regularities. Using an algorithmic complexity framework, we define regularity as a model that achieves a compressed coding of data, We discuss induction of models. We present induction of ftite automata models for regularities of strings, and induction of models based on vector translations for sets of po...

Variations in the Martian surface temperature indicate patterns of energy exchange. The at a location is similar to those adjacent locations; but, an understanding clusters multiple locations will deepen our knowledge planetary processes overall. spatial coherence (ST) different locations, spatio-temporal variations clusters, and relationships between ST near-surface environmental factors, howe...

Objective(s): Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...
