Transient and sustained K(+) currents were measured in isolated rat ventricular myocytes obtained from control, steptozotocin-induced (Type 1) diabetic, and hypothyroid rats. Both currents, attenuated by the endocrine abnormalities, were significantly augmented by in vitro incubation (>6 h) with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor quinapril or the angiotensin II (ANG II) receptor blocke...

The Fc-region of immunoglobulin E (IgE) comprising C epsilon 2, C epsilon 3, and C epsilon 4 domains is sufficient for binding to the alpha chain of the high affinity IgE-Fc receptor (Fc epsilon RI alpha). In order to identify the smallest Fc fragment capable of binding to the Fc epsilon RI alpha with high affinity, various regions of the IgE-Fc molecule were expressed in COS cells and investig...

A monoclonal hamster antibody (K-1) specific for a 161-kD mast cell surface glycoprotein was derived. p161 is expressed on normal and cultured mast cells and on some macrophages, but not on basophils or other hematopoietic cells. A population of Fc epsilon Rneg cells expressing p161 was found in short term cultures of bone marrow cells grown in interleukin (IL)-3. These cells were purified and ...

This paper presents the results of the dielectric response of carbon dioxide measured using a loaded microwave cavity operating in the TE011, mode of a cylindrical cavity near the frequencies 8.8, 9.7 and 10.2 GHz. The temperature dependence of the dielectric response of gas phase CO2 over the range of 160 to 213 degrees K (-113 to -60 degrees C) was measured. Slater perturbation equations for ...

The miscoding potential of N2,3-ethenoguanine (epsilon G), one of the carcinogen vinyl chloride adducts to DNA bases, has been examined by copying of poly (A, epsilon G) templates with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase. In contrast to the results previously obtained with poly (C, epsilon G) templates where epsilon G acts as G and A, in poly (A, epsilon G) templates epsilon ...

Epsilon is an extensible platform of integrated and task-specific languages for model management. With solutions to the 2011 TTC Hello World case, this paper demonstrates some of the key features of the Epsilon Object Language (an extension and reworking of OCL), which is at the core of Epsilon. In addition, the paper introduces several of the task-specific languages provided by Epsilon includi...

Epsilon technique cannot learn from training patterns with a contradiction | i.e. two or more training patterns have identical inputs but dierent outputs. These training patterns are not 100% satisable and the Descending Epsilon technique will not be able to reduce the value of epsilon beyond a limit. Secondly, the Descending Epsilon technique takes more cycles than normal back-propagation sinc...

Abstract We explore the birational structure and invariants of a foliated surface ( X , F stretchy="false">) (X,\mathcal{F}) in terms adjoint divisor K + ϵ <m:...

Let G be a Carnot group. We study nonlocal diffusion equations in domain $$\Omega$$ of the form $$\begin{aligned} u_t^\epsilon (x,t)=\int _{G}\frac{1}{\epsilon ^2}K_{\epsilon }(x,y)(u^\epsilon (y,t)-u^\epsilon (x,t))\,dy, \qquad x\in \Omega \end{aligned}$$ with $$u^\epsilon =g(x,t)$$ for $$x\notin \Omega$$ . For an appropriated rescaled kernel $$K_\epsilon$$ , we apply Taylor series development...

We present patterns of electroconvection (EC) for the homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal MBBA. A voltage V = square root of 2V0 sin(2pift) was applied. With increasing V0, the bend Freedericksz transition at VF was followed by the onset of EC at Vc > VF. We found four distinct pattern types. First, a primary supercritical Hopf bifurcation to traveling waves (TW's) of convection roll...
