In the study of tissues that contain several forms of one cytochrome P450 subfamily, it is useful to develop immunoblotting techniques so that the various individual members of the family can be distinguished. This paper describes improvements in the immunoblotting technique to distinguish members of the rat cytochrome P450 4A subfamily, 4A1, 4A2, and 4A3, as they are present in Sprague-Dawley ...

Abstract. In this paper, we study geometric properties of surfaces of the generalized Fischer-Burmeister function and its induced merit function. Then, a visualization is proposed to explain how the convergent behaviors are influenced by two descent directions in merit function approach. Based on the geometric properties and visualization, we have more intuitive ideas about how the convergent b...

The Fischer groups Fi22, Fi23 and Fi24 are associated with a number of diagram geometries, some of which have been characterized recently. Exploiting a relationship between these geometries we obtain some further characterizations.

These images were created using a " Wifi Camera " custom designed by Somlai-Fischer, Sjölén and Haque (information available at ). It makes a use of a directional 2.4Ghz wifi antenna mounted on servos scanning an environment at varying resolutions, measuring signal strength of all present networks to generate an image of the wifi " view " of the space. A ...

Regional differences in cell size in the hearts of rats with and without cardiac hypertrophy were studied using isolated muscle cells. Isolated cardiac myocytes were prepared from left ventricular free wall inner and outer halves and the right ventricle of six male 12-week-old spontaneously hypertensive (SHR), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Fischer-344 rats. In SHR, blood pressure was increased to 188 ...

Comparisons between Lewis and Fischer inbred strains of rats are used frequently to study the effect of inherent differences in function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis on pain-relevant traits, including differential susceptibility to chronic inflammatory disease and differential responsiveness to analgesic drugs. Increasing use of genetic models including transgenic knockout mice an...
