A set of fast real transforms including the well known Hartley transform is fully investigated. Mixed radix splitting properties of Hartley-type transforms are examined in detail. The matrix algebras diagonalized by the Hartley-type matrices are expressed in terms of circulant and (−1)-circulant matrices. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

The history of RIPs, especially the toxic ones, has been well reviewed recently. This present chapter will summarize the research steps that in the last 40 years have led to significant advancements in the knowledge of these proteins, of their mechanism of action, and of their possible practical applications in medicine and in agriculture. Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), initially discov...

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and beclomethasone against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pi...

Rifamycins are key sterilizing drugs in the current treatment of active tuberculosis (TB). Daily dosing of rifapentine (P), a potent rifamycin with high intracellular accumulation, in place of rifampin (R) in the standard antitubercular regimen significantly shortens the duration of treatment needed to prevent relapse in a murine model of active TB. We undertook the current study to compare dir...

The objective of the present work was to register the first proven cases of human pseudomyiasis due to Eristalis tenax in Goiás State, Brazil, underscoring their clinical manifestations and direct relationship with hygiene. The taxonomic identification of the instars was done according to the descriptions and keys presented by James (1947), Hartley (1961) and Guimarães & Papavero (1999). Two ca...

Length The structured abstracts were, as expected, longer than the traditional ones. Indeed, they were approximately 30 percent longer, which is 10 percent more than the average 20 percent increase in length reported by Hartley (2002) for nine studies. It is interesting to note, however, that the average Hartley / CLARITY OF JOURNAL ABSTRACTS IN PSYCHOLOGY 371 TABLE 2 The Average Scores and Sta...

FEMALE GUINEA PIGS WERE INJECTED WITH THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS: homogenates of guinea pig testis in saline or in adjuvant; suspensions of washed guinea pig sperm in saline or in adjuvant; homogenates of rabbit testis in adjuvant; guinea pig sperm and rabbit sperm in adjuvant. Control animals were not injected or were injected with adjuvant alone. At various times between 15 and 39 days after inj...

We have examined whether a molecule that is capable of inducing immune protection, the major secretory protein (MSP) of Legionella pneumophila, is required for virulence in a guinea pig model of Legionnaires' disease. To do so, we have compared the virulence in guinea pigs of an isogenic pair of L. pneumophila, Philadelphia 1 strain, one of which produces MSP (MSP+) and one of which does not (M...
