Bovine hypothalamus contains a nonpeptidic substance that inhibits purified Na+/K(+)-transporting ATPase [ATP phosphohydrolase (Na+/K(+)-transporting), EC 3.6.1.37] reversibly with high affinity by a mechanism similar to, but not identical to, that of the cardiac glycosides. It possesses some of the characteristics ascribed to a putative endogenous "digitalis-like" compound that has been implic...

With the emergence of e-commerce, logistics industry has grown, and manual transport sorting express delivery gradually revealed its drawbacks. This system is mainly applied to machine work in courier transfer station, which can realize identification positioning pieces through vision module, mechanical arm, transporting trolley, finally putting into corresponding area improve speed accuracy so...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the screening measures that would have been required to assess all travellers at risk of transporting A(H1N1)pdm09 out of Mexico by air at the start of the 2009 pandemic. METHODS Data from flight itineraries for travellers who flew from Mexico were used to estimate the number of international airports where health screening measures would have been needed, and the number...

Petri net based models for plants and recipes are presented. The plant consists of processors and a transporting system connecting the processors. Processors are typically resources like reactors and tanks, while the transporting system consists of, for example, pipes, valves and pumps. Starting with these models we synthesize a discrete, modular supervisor which coordinates the concurrent exec...

Background Observations of abnormalities in the diastolic components of intracellular Ca2+ transiPnts in failing human left ventricular myocardium have raised the possibility that reductions in the level or function of sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins involved in Ca2+ transport contribute to the pathophysiology of dilated cardiomyopathy in humans. Functional assays, however, have revealed no dif...

Responses in micro-mineral metabolism to changes in dietary ingredient composition and inclusion of a micro-mineral premix (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn and Se) were studied in rainbow trout. In a 2 x 2 factorial design, triplicate groups of rainbow trout (initial weight: 20 g) were fed over 12 weeks at 17°C a fishmeal-based diet (M) or a plant-ingredient based diet (V), with or without inclusion of a minera...

The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis design characteristics ships currently used for coal transporting from ports Far East Russia to Asia-Pacific countries with mathematical modeling and optimization oriented economic criteria. effectiveness expediency using in certain directions transportation is considered. influence operating conditions optimal values (speed payload capac...

Lunar Habitation 1 (LH-1) is a proposed permanent lunar base designed to facilitate astronomical research as well as study the feasibility of human colonization of the Moon. Specific emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of inflatable structures as permanent bases and the practicality of incorporating greenhouses in the base. A location on Malapert Mountain on the lunar south pole is selected...

Many applications want to use TCP congestion control to regulate the transmission rate of a data packet stream. A natural way to achieve this goal is to transport the data packet stream on a TCP connection. However, because TCP implements both congestion and error control, transporting a data packet stream directly using a TCP connection forces the data packet stream to be subject to TCP’s othe...
